Underground concrete drain box inlets and catch basins are two of the most popular drainage solutions on the market today for collecting excess stormwater runoff from roofs, sidewalks, parking lots, paver drain, and paved roadways.

All Load Ratings A15 – F900

An extensive range of concrete drain box covers can withstand the same heavy loads as traditional materials while weighing a fraction of the weight; whereas the load-carrying capacity of precast concrete trenches is derived from structural qualities rather than the strength/quality of surrounding backfill materials.

Safe Manual Removal

Concrete drain box coverings are lighter than concrete or metal counterparts and have load ratings of up to F900. This implies that no matter what the weight rating, all trench covers may be securely removed by two persons. Highly engineered concrete drain box covers are inert, extremely resilient, and able to withstand traffic and harsh field conditions for many years, while precast concrete trenches offer long-term protection for underground utilities by defending against bad weather and withstanding the majority of corrosive substances.

Proven Durability

While the strength of precast concrete steadily rises over time, concrete drain box is a high-performance product produced using resin transfer molding (RTM). They are a robust, monolithic cover that will withstand corrosion and severe temperatures (including freeze-thaw). Precast concrete drain box can last more than 100 years, according to research.
