Here at Express Drainage Solutions Kenya Limited, we have a wide range of channel drains to choose from. Channel drains, also known as trench drains, linear channels or drainage channels, are designed to provide an efficient method of surface water management, particularly on non-porous surfaces, preventing ponding from occurring and ensuring even heavy downpours are dealt with effectively.
Plastic, or polypropylene, is a popular material for channel drains because of its lightweight and durable characteristics. This makes transportation and installation easy and is perfect for gardens, driveways and landscaping projects.
For higher strength and chemical-resistant channel drains, opt for a concrete channel drain system.
Express Drainage Solutions Kenya Limited also supplies Channel drain gratings in a range of materials, from plastic gratings, to cast iron gratings, ductile iron gratings, stainless steel gratings, galvanised steel gratings and even aluminium.
When choosing the best channel drain for your project, it is crucial to take note of the weight load class. There are several different weight classes, and you’ll need to ensure the channel drainage you choose is suitable for the area you are looking to install it in.
Channel drains that are Class A15 rated are some of the most commonly used products available. If a channel drainage product is Class A15 rated, it is suitable for pedestrian traffic only, with a maximum weight load of 1.5 tonnes. Use Class A15 channel drainage for gardens, patios and small landscaping projects.
B125 channel drains are suitable for areas where the maximum weight load is up to 12.5 tonnes. B125 channel drainage is most commonly used in domestic driveways, larger patios and thresholds.
Channel drains that are classed as C250 are suitable for applications with a maximum weight load of 25 tonnes. These C250 channel drains are suitable for small private car parks, roads with light traffic, and other areas, but not suitable for even infrequent lorry use.
D400 channel drains are often referred to as highway channel drains, because they can withstand a maximum of 40 tonnes, making them the perfect channel drainage for main roads, highways and public car parks.
Channel drains that are classed as E600 can withstand a maximum weight load of 60 tonnes. E600 channel drains are most commonly manufactured from reinforced concrete and are generally used in industrial areas such as loading bays, factories and warehouses.
Class F900 channel drains are the strongest channel drainage products available. Able to withstand a maximum weight of 90 tonnes, Class F900 channel drains are most commonly used in large scale and heavy-duty industrial products, such as airports, docks and other areas that experience specific heavy machinery and transport.
