Wow, I didn’t expect so many answers in such a short time!
In order :)
When I google Rigole, it looks like a box that you bury and then let water flow in here with pipes. Currently, we have drawn normal downpipes that then end in a control shaft.
How about a Rigole? Instead of directing the water into the control shaft, simply direct it to the Rigole?
How does that even work? Can you see it from above?
Is that the same as a Rigole?
The water prices really make you think more and more about the additional costs of a cistern. As I said, we actually left it out, but somehow it increasingly seems to make more sense than, for example, a carport :-/.
Can you let the water run out openly directly from the downpipe with that?
Is it really that simple? How do you get the water from the roof in there? If it seeps away more slowly than it can drain, doesn’t it back up the downpipe again?
We don’t yet know what kind of soil it is (we were always told that you make a soil report only when the building application is approved). The neighbors say it’s rather clayey. The property was an orchard meadow where nothing has ever been built, so a green meadow since forever.
What is a “sickerschschtringe”? And what kind of pipe do you knock in? Sorry.
Hello,
we were also instructed by the city to install a Rigole. Based on the area (roof, driveway, garage and terrace), the corresponding square meters were calculated and it was also clearly explained which Rigole to install (Otto Graf EcoBloc 420...)
Accordingly, the driveway was equipped with a rain gutter made of bentonite (Kann) which collects the water from the driveway and catches this along with the water from the roof via the downpipes and redirects it to the Rigole at the back. There the water also meets the water from the garage and the terrace. All in all an expensive affair (Rigole 4.8 meters x 2.8 meters x 1.0 meter = 3K plus 1.5K for installation plus about 35 meters of pipes from the driveway to the Rigole = another 3.5K)
However, you can build over the Rigole, because what matters is the collected water, not the infiltrating water of the lawn!
