There are a myriad of materials that industry leaders use to manufacture trench drain systems. ULMA Architectural Solutions went with plastic for their HYDROPLUS drainage system.
Here are the top 5 reasons why ULMA made that decision:
1) urban drainage
HYDROPLUS was designed as a drainage solution for municipal areas and city projects where the heaviest load that the trench drain system would see is light vehicular traffic. This makes it perfect for pedestrians, cyclists, cars and pickups.
2) Color Blend
This system was made black with the intent to compliment nearby asphalt. HYDROPLUS provides a wide variety of finished appearances having black grates available in the same composite material or in a variety of cast iron decorative, galvanized steel along with stainless steel grates that are accented by the black edges of the channels.
3) Lightweight
The lightweight composite material, Polypropylene/Polyethylene (PP/PEHD), significantly reduces delivery costs and makes it much easier to move the drainage system to jobsites. Additionally, there is potential to lessen jobsite injuries with less body strain when handling the channels.
Along with being lightweight and easy to handle, the HYDROPLUS easily slides together with a tongue and groove configuration at each of the joints. Half channels are readily available with each channel possessing an integrated male coupling at the midpoint so that you can cut the channel and connect the sections.
5) budget friendly
HYDROPLUS is cost effective both as a complete system and, as mentioned previously, in shipping costs which will help keep project budgets manageable.
