Super Flume Drain
Wide, ribbed and bolted, the flume for big storm-water flows along road shoulders, and a footpath-cum-drain when lidded.
Features
- Peak flow first: Size is chosen from the design flow; slopes come from size steps or screeding.
- Ribs, not mass: Stiffening ribs carry the big sections while keeping the unit light to lift.
- Bolted and sealed: A galvanised flange bolt in a floor pocket pulls units together; the end groove seals.
- Japanese precision, IS design: Min. 600 mm working space both sides; layered backfill with a plate compactor.
- No scour at the road edge: A lined channel stops water eating into shoulders and embankments.
- Footpath-cum-drain: Lidded, it becomes a walkway.
- A groove at each end
- Two-metre segments

- Maximum flow
Applications
- Road shoulder, beside water: An open drain where no vehicle enters, or a footpath-cum-drain with light traffic on its lids.
- Where the water goes: Big storm flows travel the flume to the outfall and pour into the river, the road and the plots beside it stay dry.
- How the line gets its fall: The unit keeps one section; the fall comes from the PCC bed, cast to the gradient (about 1 in 200). Each unit is set to its invert on a string line, laid from the downstream end upward, so the water always runs to the outfall.
What it prevents
- Overtopping & flooding: Wide sections up to 2000 mm carry the design peak flow.
- Shoulder & embankment scour: A lined, bolted channel stops water eating into the road edge.
- Open, leaking joints: Groove seal plus a galvanised bolt pulls every joint tight.
- Heavy, slow lining work: Ribbed walls keep units light to lift; long runs go in quickly.
Installation
- Excavate: Leave min. 600 mm working space both sides.
- Stone & concrete: 150 mm crushed stone, 50 mm foundation concrete, 100 mm projection.
- Mortar & place: 20 mm levelling mortar; lift by the threaded hooks.
- Bolt & backfill: Bolt the joint, seal the groove, backfill in layers with a plate compactor.
