This type of design is popular with large general amenity playing fields and big rectangular lawns. It is also suitable for areas that are irregular in shape. One of the main reasons why a lot of people opt for a Herringbone pipe system is because this design does not require as much depth for excavated drains compared to other options that are available. However, it is true that the design is more complicated than the grid solution, and this is why it is important to choose a drainage solutions firm with a lot of care and consideration. With a grid system, pipes, or the main pipe, is situated at the perimeter of an area, with laterals joining the central pipe at acute angles or right angles.
