Installation Methods and Steps for Prefabricated Drainage Channels

Prefabricated drainage channels, also known as precast drainage channels, are products that are prefabricated in factories and include different series of products, such as drainage channels and inspection chambers of various sizes. During on-site construction, they can be assembled together like building blocks. Prefabricated drainage channels offer convenient and fast installation, greatly reducing manual excavation. They have a simple, neat, and uniform linear appearance, occupy a small construction area, and reduce the use of additional materials. They have a high cost-effectiveness and are an economically practical product. So, how do you install prefabricated drainage channels? Let the manufacturers of prefabricated drainage channels explain the process below.

The installation of prefabricated drainage channels can be divided into the following basic steps:

Preparation: Determine the installation location and length of the drainage channel, clean the installation area, and ensure the ground is level.

Marking: Use marking tools to mark the installation positions of the drainage channels on the ground, ensuring accurate installation.

Excavation:

Firstly, strictly follow the construction drawings without unauthorized changes to specifications or dimensions. Choose mechanical equipment for excavation as the main method and use manual assistance if needed. Avoid excessive excavation and disturbing the original soil layers at the bottom and slopes of the channel. Leave sufficient space at the bottom of the drainage channel and on both sides to pour the concrete foundation, ensuring the load-bearing requirements of the drainage channel.

Pouring concrete to form a solid foundation: The bottom of the trench should form a small gradient slope according to the design requirements. The slope should gradually lead to the drainage outlet of the system (such as the entrance to the municipal drainage system).
