Caniveaux de drainage pour tranchées sportives

What is the length of each trench drain?

Every Vodaland sport trench drain is 1-meter (3.28ft) lengths. Each sports edge trench drain can be connected together for longer runs, and units can be cut to match specific sizing requirements.

Is the title width an internal or external dimension?

The width categories and all other width categories represent the internal width of 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 sport trench drain channels to be connectable with each other via male-to-female connections. Depending on model, your trench drain may either “click” together, or 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 channels with outlets options on the bottom, sides, and ends. These outlets can be attached to 4” Schedule 40 PVC with an adapter we sell separately. If other piping is to be used, we recommend connecting them to the outlets via rubber couplings which are sold externally.

Do these need to be encased in concrete?

Vodaland recommends that our recreational trench drainage be encased in concrete for best reliability. Certain scenarios may not allow for the use of concrete, and in those cases customers may change the recommended installation method at their own discretion.

What is the max/min temperatures that the plastic channel can handle?

Our plastic sports edge trench drains are suitable for temperatures between -40 to +45 degrees Celsius. Our installation method accounts for seasonal temperature changes through the use of expansion joints.

Do your trench drain channels have slope?

Our sports complex trench drain channels are neutral, meaning no slope. For most small-to-medium scale projects, slope isn’t fully necessary. For those who require a slope, you can create a cascade system of multiple channel depths to create an artificial slope for your run.

Why is it important to install a trench drain for sports complex?

A drainage system for stadiums is essential for creating efficient irrigation for storm water runoff. Facilities such as tennis courts, sports fields, golf courses and meter tracks, require rain water diversion to keep their areas dry and safe for regular sports play. While primarily serving as a drain for sports, our sports field trench drainage is also designed to be aesthetic solutions that can deal with fast-moving heavy traffic and challenging environments.
