Enviro-Flo® Trench Drainage Systems

Enviro-Flo® Trench Drain Series

The ENVIRO-FLO® Trench Drain Series is designed to improve drainage flow in a broad spectrum of manufacturing, processing, commercial and industrial applications.

The ENVIRO-FLO® Trench Drain Series is the first of its kind in trench drain technology, encompassing all the compelling qualities you look for when deciding on a manufactured sloping trench drain system. The lightweight, 100% polypropylene construction, along with the Enviro-Loc® mechanical interlocking joint, molded outlet connection for quicker and easier installations, and a complete selection of grate materials, make it contractor-friendly.

Design Approach

Trench Drain Systems Design Approach
Follow these nine steps to properly select your drainage system.

To select the proper drainage system:
  1. Identify the appropriate loading and fall conditions based on the anticipated traffic, site topography or other physical constraints.
  2. Calculate the length and depth of the catchment area.
  3. Identify rainfall intensity over the given area. Identify the output position, source and flow rate of the liquid to be drained.
  4. Determine runoff surface flow characteristics.
  5. Calculate required flow rate per section of drainage channel and its distribution (i.e., evenly or unevenly distributed).
  6. Select the system with the appropriate capacity for the conditions identified.
  7. Determine the number, size and positions of outlets to the drainage system.
  8. Determine the concentration of the chemicals to which the system may be exposed. See the Chemical Resistance Chart
  9. Select appropriate load class grate from illustrations in Enviro-Flo® Systems Grates to go with 9930 or 9931 channel systems listed on Load Rating and Application Guidelines.
