Benefits of Plastic Channel Drainage Systems
Plastic drainage channels bring tangible advantages compared with traditional materials like concrete and polymer concrete.
Firstly, they are light weight, pretty easy to be installed, and reducing transport as well as handling costs. Despite their lightweight structure, they still maintain remarkable mechanical strength.
Second, plastic drainage channels are made of HDPE or PP, which offer excellent chemical resistance, withstanding exposure to rust, fuels, oils, salts etc. They are also UV-stable for long life span.
Third, they have practical feature of self-cleaning inner surface. The smooth finish can help avoid debris and sediment to adhere to the channel walls, promoting higher flow rates as well as reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Plastic drainage systems can also be equipped with preformed fittings as well as accessories which accommodate a variety of gratings and covers. These help to make them suitable for everything from pedestrian areas to airports and logistics hubs.
