Infiltration pipe Ribwall IT SN8 and SN16
Ribwall IT is a high-performance infiltration system designed to infiltrate rainwater back into the ground in a controlled and efficient manner. The system consists of a corrugated polypropylene (PP) pipe structure with a smooth inner wall, which is specifically perforated based on the required infiltration capacity and soil conditions.
Sustainable solution for rainwater infiltration
Depending on the application, the pipe can be provided with a geotextile wrap. This filter layer prevents the washing in of fine particles from the surrounding soil and thus guarantees sustainable operation without clogging.
Ribwall IT infiltration pipe for various applications
Ribwall IT combines multiple functions in one system:
- Infiltration of rainwater into the soil
- Buffering of peak flows
- Short-distance water transport
- Drainage of saturated soils
- Controlled-release irrigation
Thanks to this versatility, Ribwall IT is particularly suitable for applications in road construction, industrial estates, land subdivisions, and infrastructure projects.

Technical structure and performance of Ribwall IT
Ribwall IT combines multiple functions in one system:
- Infiltration of rainwater into the soil
- Buffering of peak flows
- The pipe has a ribbed structure (SN class depends on the application)
- Large infiltration surface → increased absorption capacity in the soil
- Structural flexibility → good absorption of ground settlements
- Smooth interior wall ensures low hydraulic resistance → optimal flow
- Easy maintenance → suitable for inspection and flushing
- High ring stiffness → suitable for heavy traffic loads
Flexibility in design and placement
Ribwall IT systems are tailored on a project basis:
- Various diameters and perforation patterns possible
- Choice with or without geotextile depending on soil type
- Compatible with inspection chambers and existing sewer systems
Thanks to the light weight of polypropylene pipes, installation is fast and efficient, with limited use of heavy equipment.

FAQ
1. When do you choose Ribwall IT instead of traditional infiltration solutions?
Ribwall IT is ideal when infiltration must be combined with buffering or transport. In infrastructure projects with limited space and high loads, the pipe structure offers a more efficient alternative to traditional infiltration crates or trenches.
2. Is Ribwall IT suitable for applications beneath roads or heavy traffic?
Yes, thanks to the ribbed structure and high ring stiffness, Ribwall IT pipes are suitable for applications beneath roadways and heavily loaded zones, provided they are correctly dimensioned and installed in accordance with the project study.
