GeoPipe Slotted HDPE Drainage Pipes
GeoPipe slotted HDPE pipes collect groundwater in subsoil drainage systems. We supply the pipe and fittings and install drainage runs with the required bedding, filter materials and outlets for roads, retaining structures and site infrastructure.


What is GeoPipe™?
GeoPipe™ is a high-performance slotted HDPE subsoil drainage system, engineered for controlled water collection and long-term durability in civil, road, and infrastructure applications.
Key engineered features include:
Corrugated outer wall engineered for high ring stiffness and crush resistance under backfill and traffic loads
Smooth inner bore to maximise hydraulic efficiency and maintain consistent flow capacity
Precision-formed slots designed for optimal water entry while minimising soil ingress and clogging
GeoPipe™ is specified for subsoil drainage applications demanding long service life, consistent infiltration performance, and practical on-site handling in challenging ground conditions.
Technical note
Note: Our Slotted HDPE drainage pipes are typically used for subsoil, liner underdrain, and secondary drainage applications. Primary leachate collection headers are generally specified as solid-wall or fully perforated pipes, depending on hydraulic and regulatory requirements.
Optional Add-ons
Geotextile-Socked Versions - For silt-heavy environments
Joiners & Inspection Ports - For system integration
Gravel Filter Bedding Design Support - On request
Supplying Across Africa - Without Compromise
GeoPipe™ is supplied and supported across Africa through established logistics corridors and regional delivery capability:
Southern Africa - South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia
East Africa - Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda
West Africa - Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire
Central Africa - DRC, Angola, Congo-Brazzaville
We support projects with reliable lead times, region-specific logistics planning, and on-the-ground execution, ensuring GeoPipe™ systems are delivered where and when infrastructure demands them.
Engineer’s Specification Note
GeoPipe™ slotted HDPE corrugated drainage pipes are specified for subsoil and backdrain applications requiring long service life, structural reliability, and controlled infiltration in civil and infrastructure works.
Engineered as a Complete Drainage System
GeoPipe™ integrates with geotextile filters, drainage aggregates, and liner systems to deliver reliable long-term subsurface drainage - not just water conveyance.

Applications
Subsoil drainage for roads, highways & pavements
(edge drains, formation drainage, pavement life extension)Retaining wall and MSE backdrain systems
(hydrostatic pressure relief behind reinforced soil structures)Landfill subgrade and liner drainage layers
(collection of infiltrating groundwater and leakage control beneath liner systems - not primary leachate headers)Landfill leachate drainage blankets (secondary drainage)
(used within drainage layers in combination with aggregates and geotextiles)Mining tailings storage facilities (TSFs) - foundation & underdrain systems
(pore pressure relief, seepage control, and foundation drainage where slotted pipes are specified)Mining platforms and industrial hardstands
(groundwater interception below working surfaces)Agricultural and farmland drainage systems
(field drainage and water table control)Golf courses, sports fields & landscaped areas
(rapid subsurface drainage and surface performance protection)Foundations, basements & substructure drainage
(perimeter drains and groundwater interception)

Installation and technical guidance
Design and procurement inputs
Confirm outside and inside diameter, slot geometry, ring stiffness, burial loading, bedding, filter compatibility and outlet arrangement. Slotted pipe collects water; solid pipe conveys it.
Provide the product grade or performance specification, drawings or BOQ, quantities, site location and required date. We will define supply, delivery and any agreed installation and QA/QC responsibilities in the quotation.
Request a product-specific quotation →Installation and QA/QC
Verify product identity, dimensional and relevant mechanical or hydraulic data, connections, filters and damage checks before covering.
Use the current supplied-product procedure and the approved project inspection plan. Define responsibilities and acceptance criteria before installation.
SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY
Choose the right specification
Select a complete drainage route from collection through the material to a suitable outlet.
- Confirm whether the duty is drainage, leak detection, cable protection or structured-wall conveyance.
- Specify dimensions, loading, flow conditions, interfaces and the exact filter arrangement where needed.
- Coordinate connections, outlets, access and long-term performance for the actual application.
Define the quality records
Verify product identity, dimensional and relevant mechanical or hydraulic data, connections, filters and damage checks before covering.
For a useful quotation: send the grade or performance specification, quantity, location, required date and scope. Availability, delivery and installation responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
