Integrated Curb Unit and Trench Drain

CurbDrain is designed to address a number of drainage problems commonly seen in both urban and rural applications. The continuous line of inlets provides safe, effective drainage and reduces risk of ponding at low points along the curb line.

CurbDrain has been specifically developed to be simple to install in a wide range of urban and rural applications. Disruption to vehicle or pedestrian traffic, and buried utilities, during installation is minimized. CurbDrain matches Type 6 curb profiles to ensure an aesthetic result in most
applications.

Typical applications

  • Urban roads
  • City centres
  • Housing developments
  • Parking lots
  • Industrial areas

 
 
CurbDrain - Features

. Polymer concrete construction - offers
a highly durable curb, resistant to road salts and other common road pollutants. Polymer concrete is manufactured from polyester resins reinforced with mineral
aggregates and fillers. It provides up to four times the compressive strength of cement concrete. Minimal water absorption properties prevent freeze-thaw breakdown.
. One-piece unit - provides both a curb and trench drain combined. No loose parts that could create a hazard to drivers or pedestrians.

. Type 6 curb profile - matches profile of most traditional cement concrete curbs to ensure an aesthetic solution.
. Front impact testing - a number of third party tests have been completed to simulate vehicular impact. Front face of curb withstands loads of up to
114lbs, dropped from a height of 6’-4”. Also complies with AASHTO Standard Specification for Highway Bridges - Section 3.14.2 Curb Loading. Click here for testing information.
. Two inlets per 2-foot unit - provide an open area of 8.71 sq. in. per linear foot. Shipped with inlet plugs to prevent concrete ingress during installation.

. Hand-recesses - positioned at ends of each unit, ensure a positive grip when lifting. There are also two hand recesses on
rear, aligned with front inlet holes, to assist during installation.

. Male/female interconnecting end details - ensure correct height alignment of units for easy installation and aesthetic
finish.

. Sealant groove - offers a ¼” recess to allow a positive bead of flexible sealant to be inserted at the joint, if required.

. 4” (100mm) internal width - offers excellent drainage capacity for road catchment areas.

. Neutral depth system - allows long lengths between outlets. Grade and catchment area will influence number of
outlets required.

. Profiled front & back - increases strength, reduces weight and holds unit securely into concrete haunch.
. Continuous water flow - certain parts do not offer the ability to intake water but still allow continuous flow of liquid, reducing the number of pipe connections required.
