The POLYCAST^® 400 Series is a complete surface drainage system with a precast polyester polymer concrete trench and a tight-fitting galvanized steel grate. The steel grate is bicycle and wheelchair resistant and will support automobile traffic.

The precast trench and grate is available in 2' and 4' lengths. Every 4' section has a 4" bottom cut-out for a pipe connection. Solid and drain end caps are available. Inexpensive and long lasting, POLYCAST^® 400 Series is the perfect drainage system for tennis courts, swimming pools, walkways, patios, garage entrances, etc.

The POLYCAST^® 500 Series Deck Drain System is ideally suited for a variety of above grade applications requiring drainage of incidental water run-off. The 500 Series is Strongwell's shallowest drain, measuring: O.D. 48" x 6.25" x 2.5" and I.D. of 48" x 4.25" x 1.75". It is designed to be installed in suspended slab applications such as parking structures, pool deck areas and many other thin slab applications. The precast sections are made up of 4' lengths. Each section has a 4" bottom cut-out for pipe connections. Gratings available for this system are the slotted galvanized and stainless steel grates, part numbers DGO640 and DGO647, and fiberglass grates, part number DGO644.

POLYCAST^® 500 Series is available in either polyester or Vinyl Ester polymer concrete. The polyester polymer concrete would be used for most drainage applications. Vinyl ester polymer concrete is used for high corrosive and high temperature applications. The 500 Series drains are designed for pneumatic tire traffic only. For added depth and/or solid tire forklift (full traffic) applications, the 700 Series (HARDNOSE) frame can be added. Grating hold-down device DAO542 is recommended.

The POLYCAST^® 700 Series Channels are designed for heavy commercial and military aircraft traffic, hard wheel forklifts, pallet jacks, solid wheel carts, construction equipment and off-road vehicles at moderate speeds (exceeds FAA Airport Pavement Design loads per AC 150/5320-6D). The flow rates are comparable to the conventional 600 Series. The 700 Series assembly consists of cast iron frames inlaid on the top of the conventional 600 Series polymer concrete Channel and fitted with either Cast Iron (DG0641) or Ductile Iron (DG0641D) slotted grates. Optional anchoring bolts are available.

The POLYCAST^® 800 Series Channel is designed for those high volume situations that exceed the capacity of the POLYCAST^® 600 Series. The channel, with a width of 12", is approximately double the width of the standard 600 Series channels. The 825 Section is a neutral channel with interlocking tongue-and-groove joints. The 825 channel is designed for areas of high volume cross-flow interception, or areas where the larger cross-section is necessary. Channels can also be used as a corrosion resistant, secondary containment system.

The 825 channel is available in either polyester or vinyl ester polymer concrete. The polyester polymer concrete is used for most drainage applications; the Vinyl Ester polymer concrete should be used for highly corrosive situations or higher temperature applications. All POLYCAST^® 800 Series gratings, except the fiberglass grating, are 2' long with two gratings required for the 4' channel. The fiberglass grate is 4' in length. The iron gratings and covers for the 825 channel come with locking bolts. The bolts fit threaded inserts in the channel bearing ledges. The bolts are recessed to fit below the grating surface. Three different end caps are available for the 825 channel. The closed end cap is designed to fit either end of the channel. Drain end caps fit the downstream end and can be ordered with a 6" or 8" pipe stub. The flow rate of the 825 channel varies with the slope of the installation. The 825 channel is not presloped and any slope required should be designed into the slab.

The POLYCAST^® 900 Series Grated Line Drain for Highway and Airport Drainage Systems collects runoff before it travels onto road or airplane taxi surfaces where water and ice can cause hazardous conditions. POLYCAST^® Grated Line Drain exceeds AASHTO highway standards for vehicles operating at highway speeds. It is a safe, economical, and low maintenance solution for roadway (DOT) surface drainage systems.

The POLYCAST^® Grated Line Drain features:

Flow rates of up to 470 GPM per outlet
Corrosion, chemical and UV resistant polymer concrete channels
Integral embedment anchor flanges secure the non-removable grate to prevent pullout from high-speed highway traffic
Removable grates with locking devices also available
Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to concrete
The Grated Line Drain assembly consists of a one-piece, integral cast iron frame and grate on top of the conventional 600 Series polymer concrete channel. Each 16 frame has four integral concrete anchors for maximum pullout resistance. Exceeds the following ASTM specifications: C307, C579, C580, C140, C267, C666 and B117.

POLYCAST^® 3000 is a high capacity presloped drain system designed for airports, roadways and other applications needing high volume flow rates. The unique bulb shaped design, combined with the continuous 1% slope, provides the largest flow capacity of any similar presloped trench drain on the market today. The flow rates for POLYCAST^® 3000 are more than 3000 GPM (gallons per minute) or 6.73 cfs (cubic feet per second) for 120' of drain. Competitive drain systems often require extender panels for comparable flow rates.

The system channels are manufactured using the pultrusion process to produce a lightweight, high strength fiber reinforced polymer composite channel. The polymer material limits water absorption to less than 1% and provides excellent chemical resistance. The pultruded fiberglass construction provides extremely strong vertical sidewalls. This reduces sidewall deflection during the concrete pour and maintains maximum flow capacity. The sidewalls of many other drain systems tend to collapse during this critical process, resulting in substantially reduced flows.

The coefficient of thermal expansion for POLYCAST^® 3000 (4.5 x 10-6 in/in/°F) is similar to that of concrete (6 x 10-6 in/in/°F) so it will not buckle or break apart from thermal expansion stresses. This ensures that the structural integrity of the channel side walls and the flow rates remain constant. These basic design considerations reduce the need for special parts inventory and expensive accessories.
