Storm drain tray dimensions. Drainage trays

Standartpark is a major manufacturer of surface drainage systems. The drainage chute is one of the key elements of the linear drainage system, the purpose of which is to collect and discharge surface water. The top can be covered with drainage grates and reinforced with steel linings. The grill protects the channel from clogging and ensures the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. U-shaped metal linings protect the sides of the gutter and extend their service life.

Depending on the size of the withstand load on the surface, drainage gutters belong to the following classes according to EN1433: A15 (up to 1.5 tons), B125 (up to 12.5 tons), C250 (up to 25 tons), D400 (up to 40 tons), F600 (up to 60 tons), E900 (up to 90 tons).

Varieties

The assortment includes different types of high-quality drainage channels. The classifier can be:

1) the width of the hydraulic section, which determines the productivity of the channel: from dn 100 (100 mm) to dn 500 (500 mm);

What will help you choose a drainage tray and related products

7 rules for installing gutters with different flow rates

Rule 1- select the tray according to the throughput, based on the average monthly precipitation rate in your area, increased by 25%;

Rule 2- based on the location of the channel, select the best option for its design and the material from which it is made. Of course, the curb tray is not suitable for installing it on airfields, due to its strength characteristics. At the same time, a gutter adapted for heavy loads is not suitable for the installation of storm drains in private households, based on economic calculations);

Rule 3- the permissible slope of a running meter of the structure is 10 millimeters;

Rule 4- the tray is mounted on a minimum 10 cm sand and gravel bedding, or on a 10 cm crushed stone base. Such solutions will minimize the destructive effect on the structure of icy soils, as a result of heaving deformation;

Rule 5- it is recommended to install stainless steel gratings on the gutters, since their weight is much less than their cast-iron counterpart, which facilitates the installation process. In addition, such trays are more durable than modules made of gray and ductile iron;

Rule 6- the only protection of your canal from siltation is a sand catcher, the installation of which is recommended by specialists;

Rule 7- for fixing the grate on the tray, it is recommended to use a mechanism with a screw lock.

Surface drainage installation video

Storm sewers are an important element of the drainage system, despite the fact that this is a fairly simple design, before buying it, you should carefully select the parameters corresponding to the task at hand.

Permissible load

Based on the specifics of the operation of these products, associated with constant mechanical loads on the structure, this parameter is key. Below is a table for classifying the trays.

Bandwidth

This parameter is the second most important, it is selected based on the design capacity of the drainage sewer system. The throughput of storm sewers directly depends on such a parameter as DN (hydraulic section), which is determined by the height of the structure and the flow area.

Types of structures

Depending on the material from which the drainage gutters are made, it is customary to divide them into the following types:

Concrete and reinforced concrete gutters for storm sewers. As a rule, the class of these constructions corresponds to E600 and F900. Distinctive features of this species:

• resistance to low temperatures;
• high strength;
• do not interact with aggressive chemical environment;
• long service life.

The main disadvantage of this type is its significant weight, which introduces certain difficulties when installation and transportation is carried out. For these purposes, it will be necessary to attract special equipment, which leads to additional costs.

Plastic trays are used for storm sewers, which are installed in places where significant mechanical stress is not expected. Among the advantages of polyethylene gutters are:

• light weight, even structures on which iron gratings are installed have a mass of no more than 20 kg, which greatly simplifies installation and transportation;
• construction material does not react with aggressive chemical environment;
• durability of the product.

Polymer concrete gutters are an excellent compromise between concrete and plastic products, they combine their best properties, namely:

• high resistance to mechanical stress;
• strength and rigidity of concrete products;
• zero reaction with chemically active substances;
• the service life of the structures is at least 30 years.

Separately, it should be noted that gutters of this type have a certain elasticity and flexibility inherent in plastic counterparts, and at the same time they are almost half as much lighter than concrete trays.

The technology for the production of polymer concrete structures allows the manufacture of gutters, in which the strength class reaches the maximum value (F900), which significantly expands the scope of their application.

A polymer sand gutter made using modern technology is an almost eternal product. It should be noted that the price of these trays installed in storm sewers is relatively low, due to which they are very popular in housing construction.

Lattice

Speaking about drainage trays, you should talk about the receiving grilles, which often come with them, they can be made of plastic, cast iron or steel.

Plastic products are installed on the gutters of the drainage system in places where strong mechanical stress is not expected, for example, in a park or a backyard. The advantages of plastic gratings include:

• low weight, which allows you to perform installation on your own;
• affordability of the price;
• if necessary, change the size of the product, it is not difficult;
• long service life.

Restriction on use - insufficient strength of the product, which narrows the scope of application.

Steel grilles are stronger than their plastic counterparts, but they are much more expensive. Among the advantages of these products are the following:

• light weight, which simplifies installation and transportation;
• stainless steel grades are used as material, which has a positive effect on durability;
• excellent appearance brings a considerable aesthetic component, which makes this type of grille very popular.

Cast iron is the most durable of all types. They are installed where it is not possible to use other types due to their insufficient mechanical strength. The characteristic features of these products:

• resistance to corrosion and temperature extremes;
• high mechanical strength;
• long service life.

The fairly high cost is the only drawback of cast iron structures.

Drainage system with your own hands

Plastic trays are ideal for creating storm sewers on a personal plot, since there will be no difficulties with their installation. The device of the drainage system should be done according to the following algorithm:

• ditches are dug in accordance with the size of the gutter, while the channels should be 10 cm deep more than the height of the trays, since they will be installed on a concrete pad;
• after the channels are dug, they are poured with concrete, the thickness of the pillow should be at least 10 cm;
• at the next stage, the trays are installed, do not forget to create a slight slope to the side where the storm flow will be diverted, this also applies to the pipes of the drainage system;
• the gutters are fixed with concrete, so that they do not deform, gratings should be put on the trays;
• after the concrete hardens, the storm sewer is ready for use.

Remember that the drainage system requires periodic cleaning to remove accumulated debris.

Estimated cost

For the analysis of prices, a plastic gutter of class A15 was chosen (its dimensions are 1000x135x95, and the flow area is 54.2 cm 2), since this model is the optimal solution for arranging a drainage system in a small summer cottage.

How prices were distributed in different regions can be seen in the table below.

The table clearly shows that storm sewer trays cost about the same both in the capital and in Bryansk, Omsk or Kazan. The insignificant difference is within the margin of error. The sale of this model of the gutter is carried out in other cities, while the price trend continues.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the features of the application and the technical and operational characteristics of drainage concrete trays from the manufacturer Gidrolica. Products are made from high-quality polymers that do not contain harmful impurities, and prices are formed depending on the configuration of the product, hydraulic width and height of the walls. Trays of regular shape and vertical drain are available.

Characteristics of drainage concrete trays

Storm sewage is a complex engineering structure for removing rain and melt water from streets, highways, squares, sidewalks.

The main purpose of storm sewers

Excess moisture in residential areas can provoke:

• subsidence of the foundation in residential and commercial buildings;
• dampness of basements;
• loss of quality of roads and landscape design;
• waterlogging of the soil;
• death of plants;
• environmental pollution;
• spread of infection.

Due to the technical arrangement of the sewerage system, water is discharged into a nearby reservoir, drainage well, sewer or roadside ditch. An important role is played by concrete gutters for storm sewers, which help to collect water to one source.

Installing Blocks

Drainage gutters are an important part of the sewer system. They are made of concrete, reinforced concrete, plastic, metal, polymer materials. The technical characteristics of the products depend on the material. The main property of devices is the maximum permissible load. Each drainage scheme has positive and negative sides.

Concrete drainage trays are installed on asphalt, concrete or slab roads:

• First, trenches are dug in a specially designated place. They should be larger than storm trays.
• Then concrete is poured.
• Trays are installed in the center of the trench.
• The structures are fixed between the soil on both sides with concrete cushions.
• Products are fastened together with special grooves.
• After installing the trays, the drain is fastened. To do this, it is better to use adjustable elements that fit any slope.
• The joints of the structure are sealed.
• They install gratings that protect the sewage system from the ingress of large debris.
• At the final stage, the system is checked and put into operation.
• It is recommended to connect the drainage system using a sand catcher.

The main advantages and disadvantages of concrete blocks

The structure allows you to direct water waste to the general city storm sewer. With proper planning, there will be no puddles and dirt in the required area after precipitation. Concrete trays preserve the properties of surfaces and the quality of the soil, therefore they are used near railway, highway tracks, heating mains, streets. Modern concrete gutters are manufactured by. They have a number of positive features:

• Strength, durability against any water flow and mechanical stress.
• Ease of installation.
• Waterproof.
• Tolerance to temperature changes.
• The material withstands aggressive environments well.
• Solid construction.
• Due to the smooth inner surface, dirt does not linger in structures, which eliminates silting.
• Precise geometric shapes.
• General purpose concrete trays are capable of bearing loads of up to twenty tons, which corresponds to class C.
• If the product is made of concrete with the addition of fiberglass, it acquires a high impact resistance.
• Has a long service life.
• Roadway repair does not require dismantling the device.

Thanks to the additional steel reinforcement, the concrete gutters can withstand particularly heavy loads on the roadway, corresponding to the special class F 900.

With a large number of advantages, there are some disadvantages:

• Suitable for linear sewerage only.
• The heavy weight of the concrete gutters makes it difficult to transport and install.
• High shipping costs.

Classification of concrete trays

Having a similar appearance, concrete trays differ from each other in parameters and scope. It is impractical to use shallow draft gutters in industry or on the territory of an airfield. Conversely, owners of private houses do not need huge expensive items. There is a branched classification of concrete trays, providing for all the properties of the material.

Load class, place of use according to European standard:

• A15 - this type of trays is intended for pedestrian and bicycle roads, park areas, personal plots with a maximum load of 1.5 tons.
• B125 - suitable for parking lots, private garages, swimming pools, individual buildings that can withstand a weight of 12.5 tons.
• C250 is used in car service enterprises, sidewalks, sports facilities, where the load is 25 tons.
• D400 - roadsides, streets with heavy traffic 40 t.
• E600 - warehouses, berths, logistics centers, with a permissible load of 60 tons.
• F 900 - seats with extra heavy equipment 90 t.

Constructive properties:

• No slope for water drainage.
• The presence of a bias towards the liquid outlet.
• With vertical spillway.

Typical dimensions:

• Shallow draft trays have a limited depth of placement - up to 100 mm. They are quite light, so they are stacked by hand.
• Universal drainage products are used for any drainage systems, since their depth does not exceed 495 mm.
• Withstands heavy loads, up to 650 mm deep.

Classification by additional parameters

Each product is open-ended and is designed for the gravity movement of water.

A straight-line gutter accepts liquid along its entire length. Its design is in the form of I and M. In the first case, installation does not require a foundation. In the second, your own foundation is needed.

The box version has a cross-sectional rectangle shape and a removable grill. The product prevents large objects from entering the passageway.

Slotted - with a round through hole that provides a path to the sewer.

The curb view has a ledge at the top.

Concrete trays with grates collect and transport wastewater. Cover systems are used for drainage only.

Bandwidth:

• Telescopic drainage channels are suitable for slopes.
• Edge-on - remove excess moisture from the roads to the ditches.
• Drainage systems drain the groundwater.
• Storm storms collect rainwater from a specific area.

Used additives:

• Reinforced concrete.
• Fiberglass.
• Polymer concrete.

Characteristics of different types of concrete drainage trays

There are several types of concrete trays - pressed, reinforced concrete and foam concrete. Each product has its own individual characteristics.

Pressed fine-grained concrete trays have a smooth texture with minimal air bubbles. Due to these properties, the gutters are indestructible and can withstand large flows of water. They have many advantages:

• water resistance;
• low thermal conductivity;
• fire resistance;
• special strength.

These are versatile fixtures that cope with any construction task. They can last for decades.

Concrete structures are highly efficient. They are made on the basis of a metal body, which is filled with a mixture with the addition of binding particles of various metals of artificial and natural origin. The metal matrix is ​​particularly robust and suitable for heavy loads. It has the following positive characteristics:

• resistance to biological and chemical influences;
• durability;
• heat resistance;
• high resistance to deformation, heavy loads.

Foam concrete sewer trays are porous. Such a structure is formed as a result of the hardening of a solution, to which high-quality cement, sifted sand, water, and a foaming agent are added. It is advisable to use the products in places with low air temperatures. They have the following positive qualities:

• good thermal performance due to air bubbles;
• performs well in winter;
• light weight;
• ease of installation;
• increased strength;
• environmental friendliness.

conclusions

The concrete drainage system is distinguished by good operational ability, therefore, it fully pays for its installation. In modern conditions, it has become an important part of the improvement of residential and industrial buildings. Choosing a concrete drainage channel is the right solution for practical owners.
