Channel drainage is a linear drain that moves runoff water through an underground system. Think of it as your home’s gutter system except in the ground. Good channel drainage prevents flooding and overspill and reduces stress on properties. ArchiPro has a wide range of stormwater management solutions, which includes strip drains, slot drains, trench drain and storm drains handpicked from trusted suppliers in Australia.
ArchiPro works with trusted suppliers throughout Australia to ensure you have access to a range of high-quality channel drainage systems from multiple brands. Whether you desire slot, trench, strip drains, or quality steel grating and filters, ArchiPro has all your needs covered, ensuring you have the right system for your needs.
Strip drains are long narrow drains that drain water rapidly using gravity, thereby preventing flooding. They are a stylish choice for modern showers and bathroom renovations.
Slot drains are linear, open-floor drainage systems that control stormwater runoff but can also be used around driveways, car parks, garages, pools, and pathways. Slot drains do not require grating and are a durable and sanitary choice.
Trench drains are channel-shaped floor drainage systems that utilise gravity to keep water flowing. They are usually lined with concrete and use steel grates or filters to prevent rubbish from clogging the trench.
Storm drains redirect stormwater towards streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds. This prevents stormwater from causing damage after heavy rain. They are a critical component of Australia’s stormwater management system and are often covered with stormwater drain grates.
ArchiPro features only the highest-quality channel drainage systems available across Australia. The importance of quality channel drainage systems cannot be understated and means you are choosing channel drainage that is long-lasting, functional, easy to maintain, and aesthetically appealing. Opting for anything less puts you and your property at risk of potential flooding which can cause significant and costly damage to your possessions.
You should first consider the level of rainfall in your region. If high rainfall is common in your area of Australia, you may wish to explore trench drains that are perfect for controlling excess rain. Ensuring you have the right-sized drainage system to control for heavy rainfall is important too. Generally, 150mm to 400mm wide systems are fine, though properties that experience higher than average rainfall should consider wider systems.
Secondly, you should also consider the load of vehicles that will be driving over your drainage system. If your space is often used by vehicles, especially larger vehicles, you may wish to consider more durable options like steel-based systems. Considering road traffic conditions, environmental landscape requirements, and water body conditions is also worthwhile.
