7. Trench drainage (floor trench) can be referred to as: channel drainage, line drainage, trip drainage and slot drainage.
8. Trench drains are considered to be an open trench with removable grates. Slot drains are a slot in the pavement connected to underground drains and to not have removable grates.
9. Generally a trench is regarded as the completed job in the ground. A channel is an individual modular piece which when added to others makes up the drainage system.4
59. Closed cell structure of polymers and negligible water absorption prevents collection of bacteria and stops gasoline and other pollutants from getting into the soil.
79. 175 GPM is the total volume flow rate required for the catchment area.16 65’ 130’
80. Step 2. Decide on correct layout. Since the trench exceeds 100 feet in length and we would rather not use extension walls, the catch basin will be placed in the center and slope each end to the catch basin. 65’ 65’ 17 Sizing a Modular Trench Drainage System Example – Step 2
105. Closing end caps and horizontal outlet caps provide for a complete drainage system.
106. Strengthening ribs on the channel sides create a stronger and safer system capable of withstanding the considerable loading imposed by the turning action of heavy wheeled vehicles.
124. Case Studies 25 Trench Drains at University of Cincinnati The UC Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center consists of a six-court tennis complex with a central grandstand and was constructed over a 150-car underground parking garage. Due to the tennis courts being located above the parking garage, a trench drain with flashing was required to prevent any water leaks into the parking garage. A membrane drain with waterproofing clamping system was provided for the project.
125. Case Studies 26 Automotive Service Center A fortune 250 company built a large scale, high end luxury automobile showroom in central New Jersey. They requested a solution that could be designed and installed without delays and with minimal disruptions. A high capacity pre-sloped fiberglass trench drain system was provided for the project.
