Product Details

Choose from either concrete or polymer concrete channels, both of which can be combined with cast iron, hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel frames.

These heavy duty drainage channels are suitable for use in driveways, roads, yards, podium slabs and parking areas. The channel’s concrete frame is designed with base and edge restraints to ensure effective load transfer. The channel body is made of high-strength, waterproof concrete made by Richard Brink. It has wall and floor thicknesses of 20mm. The chosen concrete matrix guarantees wear resistance to various chemical influences while the leak-proof surface structure enables rain water to run straight off. The moulded frame is available either in stainless steel, hot-dip galvanised steel or cast iron.

The low weight of the concrete channel can be mounted by one person without the need for extra equipment or lifting tools. When installed, the channels should sit 2 to 3mm under the road surface. Cassette-shaped cut-out sections on the outer sides prevent the channel from floating up during installation. A tongue-and-groove system with integrated rubber seals on the ends of the channel does away with the need for complex sealing work along the joints.
