Product Overview KlassikDrain - K100/K200/K300 General purpose steel edged, single lock, modular trench system A general purpose modular drainage system, in a choice of 3 internal widths - 4, 8" & 12. Ideal for pedestrian, commercial and light industrial applications. Wide choice of grates - in various materials and styles (including ADA-compliant) for applications from Load lass A to Load lass E (up to 60 tons) EN 1433. E Anti-shunt lugs - recesses in underside of grate fit around lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal movement. QuickLok - a patented, boltless locking system that provides quick fitting and removal of grates. Dramatically reduces installation/maintenance time and cost. K300 12" internal width K200 8" internal width K100 4" internal width Polymer concrete - a durable, yet lightweight material made from polyester resin binder reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers. Problem Solving Products FlowDrain - FG200 E Steel edge rail - provides additional strength and protects channel body from damage. (Galvanized or stainless steel rail available.) SlabDrain E F Sloped (0.5%) channel units - meter long units provide 131'-3 (40 meter) continuous slope. This equates to 1/17" fall per linear foot. Five neutral channels extend run lengths. Four half-meter units and accessories also available. Brickslot A high capacity, fiberglass 8 (200mm) internal drainage system with choice of bolted grates, ideal for long straight runs in concrete slab applications requiring large volumes of fluids to be removed. Twelve 9ft (2.74m) channels provide a 1% built-in slope and invert depths from 6.75" to 20.25" (172-514mm); creating a 108ft (32.9m) continuous sloping run. Neutral channels in choice of 9ft and 3ft lengths, and a choice of catch basins and accessories, provide a complete modular system. On occasion, installation constraints are of greater concern than hydraulics. The most common constraint is lack of depth. To offer solutions where shallow trench drains are required, SlabDrain is available in 3 edge versions and 3 widths - all neutral depth. Loading varies for each system, depending upon edge rail and grate, up to heavy duty lass F (90 tons) EN 1433. All grates are secured to the channel body by either QuickLok or PowerLok. www.aodrain.us Brickslot is a discreet, drainage solution for use with brick or stone pavers up to 2.5 (63mm) deep. The ADA-compliant 0.44 (11mm) slot blends in with paving joints giving an aesthetic solution. The slot cover is typically used on the KlassikDrain K100 channel, but can also be used on the H100K if depth restrictions are a concern. An access unit provides discreet access to the channel or catch basin for maintenance.
AO DRAIN PowerDrain - S100K/S200K/S300K Heavy duty iron edged, multiple lock, modular trench systems An extra heavy duty modular drainage system, in a choice of 3 internal widths - 4, 8" & 12. Ideal for industrial and heavy commercial applications. Anti-shunt lugs - recesses in grate fit around lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal movement. F PowerLok - is a patented, boltless locking system that provides quick fitting and removal of grates. Helps reduce installation/maintenance time and cost. Ductile iron grates - heavy duty ductile iron grates in choice of slotted or ADA-compliant longitudinal, rated up to Load lass F (90 tons) EN 1433. S300K 12" internal width S200K 8" internal width S100K 4" internal width Polymer concrete - a durable, yet lightweight, material made from polyester resin binder reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers. Ductile iron edge rail - integrally cast-in rail provides maximum strength and protection for channel body. Sloped (0.5%) channel units - meter long units provide 131'-3 (40 meter) continuous slope. This equates to 1/17" fall per linear foot. Five neutral channels extend run lengths. Four half meter units and accessories also available. hemdrain MiniKlassik MembraneDrain hemdrain provides solutions for use in chemically aggressive environments. 100 has no metal edge rail, is suitable for loadings up to lass (25 tons) EN 1433, and is ideal for use in areas where no metals can be used (plastic grates are available for such applications). All KlassikDrain, PowerDrain and SlabDrain polymer concrete parts are also available in Vinylester polymer concrete. A 2 (50mm) internal width system for high profile, aesthetic applications where a barrier is required to separate wet and dry areas. hoice of grate styles and materials. Grates have been load tested in accordance with EN 1433 guidelines. Loading is determined by grate up to Load lass (25 tons). Specifically for use in non-habitable suspended slabs where any liquid permeating through the paving is collected on a membrane and directed into the trench drain. Available with galvanized or stainless steel edge rail. Used in conjunction with SlabDrain H80 or H100 channels. Loading is determined by grate, up to Load lass (25 tons) EN 1433. Uses standard KlassikDrain K100 grates. For habiltable suspended slabs use AO ProfiLine. www.aodrain.us
hoosing the orrect Trench Drain Trench drains are designed to capture and carry surface water; however, failure is typically more critical if the product 'physically' fails rather than if the 'functionality' fails. If channel sizing isn't correct the result will be either short term ponding (channel too small) or lower flow velocity/sedimentation in the channel (channel too big). It is a priority to address where and how the product will be used to ensure the correct load rating and materials are selected for a long service life. In applications where flood damage to property or personal risk are of concern, then it is prudent to focus closely on the hydraulic requirements of the project. AO offers several hydraulic support services to accurately determine correct channel and outlet sizing and layout to address these concerns (see below). 1. Application - where and how product to be used 1a) Loading - traffic type and frequency E F 1b) Durability - address liquids to be drained and surrounding environment 1c) User Requirements - project specific site, user, legislative and aesthetic requirements 2. Hydraulic Performance - volume of liquid to be removed in a given timeframe AO Service and Support AO has an established Technical Services Department with many years experience advising on surface drainage. This free service is offered with no obligation and is supported with extensive, high quality information, brochures and technical documentation. Services include advice at project design stage through to on-site advice when required. 1. Trench Hydraulic Service Flow calculations to ensure correct sizing of trenches 2.
