Gracias de antemano por su ayuda.

Consider installing a shell drainage system around the perimeter of the pad or perhaps just along the North and East sides.
This could consist of a series of 4 inch perforated corrugated polyethylene pipes placed on the top of each lift and extending back into the stockpile in the order of 100 m and spaced perhaps at 20 – 25 m centers along the side.

OMIT the word?


Explanation:
I was going to suggest "perimetral", but then the word "perímetro" follows.
I think you can just say "instale un sistema de drenaje en el perímetro..."

  -> I thought "shell" could be something that covers or encompasses an area. Therefore, it would also be in the periphery. But I only gave it a 3.
