Pipe - Nail method
The drainage pipes with the slope reinforcement function
Key Features
Versatility as drainage and slope reinforcement
A steel pipe with slots provides a sufficient drainage function in slopes.
Additionaly,the strength and durability of the steel pipe improves the
stability of slopes,as soil nails.
No need of pre-boring
The pipe featuring pointed-end allows installation without pre-boring and
thus increases efficiency of construction.
1) No scaffold needed
2) Less labor required
3) Installed by adding pressure or percussive force
Construction without heavy equipment and scaffold
The Pipe and Nail method requires neither heavy-duty equipment nor scaffold
during installation. The method is , therefore , efficient even in a small
construction space.
Great work efficiency
The simple installation method eliminates labors required for standard
methods such as moving and setting up drill equipment. Work efficiency,
20-30 pieces/day , can be expected from the Pipe and Nail method.
Cost effective
The Pipe and Nail method can reduce construction expenses to as low as
approximately 30% of the conventional technique.
Applicable to both temporary and permanent structures
The method is effective to temporarily prevent a slope failure. The pipe
could also serve as a permanent structure when corrosion is taken into
account.
