What site conditions should be confirmed before designing channel drainage?

From catchment areas to paving connections, prepare these details so drainage products work with the site.

Identify where water comes from and where it goes

Design drainage around catchment area, local rainfall, ground slope and outlet positions. Project professionals should determine channel sizes and layouts using appropriate hydraulic calculations.

Coordinate channels, covers and the site

Applications place different demands on cover openings, accessibility and load performance. Coordinate channel depth, paving thickness, foundations and outlet pipes before product selection to avoid installation conflicts.

Allow for cleaning and maintenance

Consider sediment, leaves, cleaning frequency and catch-pit positions. Confirm removable structures and maintenance access together with site conditions.
