Understanding Drainage Channel Profiles
Distinguish internal dimensions, overall size, cover compatibility and outlet planning.
Explore solutions01 Start with the drainage area
Identify where surface water is collected and where it will discharge. Coordinate the channel run with paving levels and the project drainage plan.
The application and site conditions guide the required profile and cover arrangement.
02 Review the dimensions
Internal width and depth describe the channel opening. Overall width and height describe the external footprint and may differ substantially.
Refer to the drawing for the exact model. Compare section length, internal dimensions and overall dimensions together.
03 Plan the complete system
Confirm channel joints, outlet locations and cover compatibility. The cover and installation detail must suit the intended application.
Do not infer loading suitability from the appearance of a cover or the width of a channel. Ask for the documentation relevant to the selected configuration.
04 Keep maintenance accessible
Consider how the run, outlet and covers will be inspected and cleaned. Coordinate access with landscaping, paving and adjacent equipment.
Send the model, total run length, destination and application requirements when making an enquiry.
