Southtile Limited which is based in Invercargill is New Zealands largest field tile manufacturer producing in excess of one million clay drainage tiles per annum.
The company manufacturers a range of field tiles from a 75mm to 225mm in 300mm to 600mm lengths which are ideally suited to New Zealands unique soil types. They are made from clay, an environmental friendly product, which is dried and fired to a high temperature to ensure strength and longevity.
Field tiles are a tried and tested product which have been used in New Zealand to improve sub-soil drainage since the early 1860's and they have been manufactured on the companies Waikiwi site for over 100 years. They withstand relatively heavy loads, are easily backfilled, found, cleaned and can be removed and relocated.
The improvement of agricultural land through sub-soil drainage is a sound investment, leading to more intensive land usage, with a corresponding increase in both productivity and land value. Consider your drainage dollar - to the land value, total up pegging + surveying + trenching + bedding + pipe + backfill costs, and divide by the expected years of service and increased productivity. The cost effectiveness of field tiles begins from the year of installation. Long after the break-even point has been reached, field tile drainage will continue to pay dividends.
