Concrete Channels

Vodaland's heavy-duty concrete channels provide clients with peace of mind in the most extreme of environments. These trench drains can handle very heavy and frequent traffic using thick ductile cast iron and durable steel reinforcements. Each unit is a meter length, and mutiple units connect together to match the length you require.

What is the length of each trench drain?

All Vodaland trench drains are 1-meter (3.28ft) lengths. Trench drains can be connected together for longer runs, and units can be cut to match specific sizing requirements. Some product provide 0.5 m sections.

What is the dimension referred to in the title of each product?

The dimension shown in the title represents the internal width of the channel, and the same applies to the depth sizes shown for each channel. External dimensions vary for each type of channel, and customers can view external dimensions through the spec drawings provided on each product page.

How do I connect the trench drains together?

We design all of our trench drain channels to be connectable with each other via male-to-female connections. Simply fit together for connection. It is very important that all connections are silicone sealed.

How do I connect piping?

For piping, Vodaland designs our concrete channels with outlets options on the bottom and on the ends. These outlets can be attached to different sizes of pipes through adapters sold separately or via rubber couplings which are sold externally.

Do these need to be encased in concrete?

Vodaland recommends that all our trench drains be encased in concrete for best reliability.

What is the max/min temperatures that the channels can handle?

Our fiber concrete channels can handle -50 to +80. Our installation method accounts for seasonal temperature changes through the use of expansion joints.

Do your trench drain channels have slope?

The fiber concrete and polymer concrete are offered in no slope, 0.5% slope, and 1% slope depending on which size of channel. Contact a Vodaland representative if you need further assistance with this matter.
