3 powerful reasons to choose sloping trench drains
And you might ask yourself why a 2.5% slope?
And how can it help me?
We'll explain it:
1) Savings in product and installation costs. The slope created in the drainage system accelerates the water flow. Thanks to the speed it reaches, more water is drained, as if larger trench drains had been installed. Thus, we make savings in both installation and product (by purchasing smaller trench drains). It drains up to 100 l/s in 20 ml, according to a study by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.
We save on installation time and reduce construction costs.
2) Savings in installation time and building costs. We can install up to 40 linear metres, in two 20-metre sections, with a single water outlet. This helps us to drain large areas of land and rain flows, with very few outlet points. We save on installation time and reduce construction costs.
3) Savings in cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to the speed of the water travelling down the trench drain, it carries with it any sediment, such as dust or small stones, accumulated in the absence of rain. It creates a self-cleaning effect. This effect would not be possible in an installation with no slope and it reduces the need for cleaning and maintenance. In addition, it ensures that 100% of the trench drain section is in perfect condition for drainage.
