DRAINAGE SYSTEM FOR POST BURIAL DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011582 titled 'DRAINAGE SYSTEM FOR POST BURIAL DETECTION
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a drainage system and method for post burial detection. It involves a corrugated drain tile with a tracer wire that allows for easy detection of the drainage tile when buried. The drain tile has a body, a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal length. It also has an inner surface and an outer surface. The tracer wire is made of a conductive material such as copper, steel, or stainless steel and is affixed to the drain tile during or after its manufacture. The tracer wire extends along the longitudinal length of the drain tile, either along the outer surface or the inner surface, and is never embedded within the drain tile body.
- The invention is a drainage system and method for post burial detection.
- It includes a corrugated drain tile with a tracer wire for easy detection.
- The drain tile has a body, two ends, and a longitudinal length.
- It has an inner surface and an outer surface.
- The tracer wire is made of a conductive material like copper, steel, or stainless steel.
- The tracer wire is affixed to the drain tile during or after its manufacture.
- It extends along the longitudinal length of the drain tile.
- The tracer wire is never embedded within the drain tile body.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Construction industry: The drainage system can be used in construction projects to ensure proper drainage and facilitate post-burial detection for maintenance or repair purposes.
- Landscaping: The drainage system can be utilized in landscaping projects to prevent water accumulation and potential damage to the surrounding area.
- Agriculture: The drainage system can be beneficial in agricultural fields to manage water flow and prevent waterlogging.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Difficult detection: Traditional drain tiles can be challenging to locate once buried, making maintenance or repair work time-consuming and costly. This technology solves this problem by incorporating a tracer wire for easy detection.
- Water accumulation: The drainage system helps prevent water accumulation, which can lead to various issues such as flooding, soil erosion, and damage to structures or vegetation.
Benefits of this technology:
- Easy detection: The tracer wire allows for quick and accurate detection of the drain tile, reducing the time and effort required for maintenance or repair work.
- Efficient drainage: The corrugated drain tile efficiently manages water flow, preventing water accumulation and potential damage.
- Durable construction: The use of materials like copper, steel, or stainless steel ensures the longevity and durability of the drainage system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a drainage system and method for post burial detection thereof according to the present invention comprises a corrugated drain tile with a tracer wire to facilitate detection of the drainage tile when buried. the drain tile defines a drain tile body, a first end, a second end, a longitudinal length extending from the first end to the second end, an inner surface and an outer surface. the tracer wire is preferably affixed to the drain tile during or post manufacture of the drain tile and is composed of a conductive material such as copper, steel, or stainless steel. the tracer wire extends along the longitudinal length of the drain tile, along the outer surface, or the inner surface, and is at no point embedded within the drain tile body.
