| Site Preparation Install Smith Drainage Systems in strict accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and shop drawings. Excavate the area for channel placement wide and deep enough to accommodate the standard channel size and a minimum of 6.5" concrete encasement on both sides as well as underneath the channels. Channels require a minimum of 6.5" of support and the top of the grate must be evenly aligned with the surface of the surrounding slab. (Note: The thickness of the concrete encasement must be at least as thick as the slab and never less than 6.5".) Installation Channel sections are installed from the outlet end of the system working from either catch basins or deeper channel sections to shallow channel sections. Insert channels from above to allow ends to interlock. Channel sections shall be placed on brick, rebar basket, low slump concrete, grout slurry, or suspended to obtain correct finished elevation. Cutting will be made, if required, by masonry saw. Temporarily place grate in channel to avoid compression during concrete placement. Concrete Pour Protect grates and channel interior during pouring of concrete. Place concrete in a manner that will not dislodge the channels. Concrete shall be at finished level or 1/8" above the top of the channel to ensure efficient drainage and adequate channel edge protection. Finishing and Clean up Following final set of concrete, remove grate protection, place grates in final position and engage locking bolts in correct location. The approved supplier is Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co., 2781 Gunter Park Drive East, Montgomery, Alabama 36109. Telephone: 334-277-8520 |
