Super U Drain T25

A drain that carries the road. Rated for 5T and 10T wheel loads, cast in self-compacting concrete, with lids that sit dead flush.

Features

• Self-compacting concrete: Fills the steel mould without vibration, a dense, smooth channel with sharp arrises.
• Smooth, drafted walls: A steel-formed invert and slightly drafted walls keep the full section carrying water.
• 5T & 10T wheel load: 5 T front axle, 10 T rear axles, heavy vehicles can cross the lids.
• Designed reinforcement: Reinforcement sized by SCA design engineers for every section.
• Flush lids: No trip edge and no rocking under wheels.
• Lay, joint, backfill: No shuttering and no curing wait: the road opens to traffic sooner.
• A mortar pocket at every joint
• Two metres long
• A section designed for its size
• A seat that holds the lid flush
• Cast-in lifting inserts
• Lids that drop in
• A cable trench, too
• Storm water, moving

Applications

• Runway-edge drainage at an airport: A heavy-duty U-drain line along the runway shoulder carries storm water off the pavement, no ponding for aircraft taking off and landing.
• Part of the carriageway: Laid along road edges and yard aprons where trucks run straight over the lids.
• Where the water goes: The run ends at a headwall on the river bank, storm water off the road leaves the line and falls into the nala, not onto the carriageway.
• The same station with an SCA U-drain between the tracks: Lids flush with the formation take the run-off; the tracks stay clear and the locals keep running. SCA can install the line unit by unit in night-time line blocks.
• 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

• Waterlogged roads: Storm water is carried off the carriageway instead of standing on it.
• Potholes & base failure: A dry sub-base keeps the pavement from softening and breaking up under trucks.
• Broken covers: Lids and walls rated for 5 T wheels, no collapsed drain edges where lorries turn.
• Months of site work: No shuttering, no curing wait: lay, joint, backfill, open to traffic.

Installation

1. Excavate: Trench to line and level with working space both sides.
2. PCC bed: 100 mm PCC 1:4:8, 100 mm beyond the drain each side; nominal 1:1000 fall if needed.
3. Mortar & place: 20 mm levelling mortar, then lower each unit by its inserts.
4. Joint & backfill: Fill the 20 × 25 joint pocket with ready-mix mortar, backfill in layers, drop the lids in.
