Experimental study of hydraulics and sediment capture efficiency in catchbasins
Catchbasins (also known as gully pot in the UK and Australia) are used to receive surface runoff and drain the stormwater into storm sewers. The recent interest in catchbasins is to improve their effectiveness in removing sediments in stormwater. An experimental study was conducted to examine the hydraulic features and sediment capture efficiency in catchbasins, with and without a bottom ...

Considerations for Trench Drain Systems
Trench drain systems come in all shapes, sizes and materials and it can be difficult to determine which system is best suited for your project. Here’s a breakdown on what you need to consider when planning a project that requires trench drain systems. What are the load requirements for the drain? It’s particularly important to mitigate potential flooding situations in high ...
