HD-PE Channel Drain – Introduction

Intesio – for optimum stormwater management

Continuing urban development, a changing climate and the

consequences of intensified rainfall: all are increasingly prominent

issues on the political and environmental agenda. In combination,

they represent a complex need for the most intelligent, effective

solution.

An Overview of the Intesio Channel Drain System

As part of the Intesio water management solutions range, Wavin

have introduced an innovative range of channels, manufactured

from recycled HD-PE.

Available in three ranges, SKIP, VIP and WING, the Intesio

Channel Drainage System can be used with a variety of gratings

to suit your application and loading requirements.

The system is both lightweight and durable, and offers faster

installation on site. The ranges have been independently certified

in accordance with EN 1433.

Intesio channel drainage offers a solution to surface water

transportation for either disposal or re-use, and can be used in

conjunction with other products in the Intesio range to create a

complete water management solution.

Benefits of the System• Broad Portfolio – Wide choice of channels and selection

of gratings for EN 1433 load classes A to F

• Smooth Surface – For enhanced hydraulic performance

and fast surface drainage

• Light yet durable – at least 20 times lighter than systems

using traditional materials

• Low installed cost – “Ready to install”can be installed

with gratings pre-assembled

• Easy to connect – choice of preformed drain outlets

SKIP

SKIP has a low section height. A 20 mm high edge locates

and gives protection to the lightweight grating and provides

a datum for installation of the final surface layer. Channel

and grate combination are available from A15 to C250.

Ideal for; residential areas, sports facilities,

and multi-storey car parks.

VIP

VIP is a multipurpose channel. Like SKIP, the gratings are

located in the channel by a 20 mm high edge. This provides

protection to the grating and a datum for installation of

the final surface layer. Channel and grate combination are

available from A15 to C250.

Ideal for; private car parks, footways

and athletics grounds.

WING

WING is a heavy duty channel with a 25 mm high, 4 mm thick

steel strengthening frame as required by EN1433. It has a

unique anchoring system for the channel designed to withstand

deformation due to shear or torsional stresses. Channel and

grate combination are available from C250 to F900.

Ideal for medium-to-heavy duty uses; exhibition areas,

parking decks, road carriageways, parking areas, service

areas and industrial areas.

The system consists of the following three ranges:

HD-PE Channel Drain - Selection of Channel

The selector will help you to determine which of the 3 ranges in the Intesio Channel Drainage

System is the correct choice for a particular project.

EN 1433 Drainage Channels for Vehicular and Pedestrian Areas states that ‘the appropriate load

class of drainage channel to choose depends upon where the channel is to be installed’.

The type of grating used is the main determining factor in the assignment of a load class.

Foot traffic, domestic driveway and cycle use

EN1433 – “Drainage Channels for Vehicular and Pedestrian Areas”

states; ‘The appropriate load class of drainage channel to choose

depends upon where the channel is to be installed.’

Typical places of installation are divided into groups, as listed:

Group 1 (min. class A15) – Areas which can only be used by

pedestrians and pedal cyclists.

Group 2 (min. class B125) – Footways, pedestrian areas and

comparable areas, private car parks or car parking decks.

Group 3 (min. class C250) – Kerb sides (Fig 1) and non-

trafficked areas of hard shoulders and similar.

Group 4 (min. class D400) – Carriageways of roads (including

pedestrian streets), hard shoulders

(Figure 1) and parking areas, for all types of road vehicles.

Group 5 (min. class E600) – Areas subject to heavy wheel loads,

e.g. ports and dock sides.

Group 6 (class F900) – Areas subject to especially high wheel

loads e.g. aircraft pavements.

The standard further states; ‘the manufacturer shall provide

instructions for haunching of drainage channel units and indicate

the dimensions and also the concrete class required and

reinforcement details if any, to meet the load classification of the

product at the place of installation’.

Following are general installation guidelines.

HD-PE Channel Drain - Installation

The standard EN 1433 states; ‘the manufacturer shall provide

instructions for haunching of drainage channel units and indicate

the dimensions and also the concrete class required and

reinforcement details if any, to meet the load classification of the

product at the place of installation’.

The following steps are general installation guidelines only.

Step 1: Excavation

The size of excavation to be made for laying of the channels must

take into account:

• The channel dimension and the discharge outlet pipes

• Adequate space for foundation H and concrete side flanking S.

The foundation and the flanking dimensions for each channel

range are listed separately in the Channel Drain Technical Design

Manual.

Step 2: Foundation

Lay the concrete foundation H up to the height indicated in step

1, taking care to provide the required fall in the drainage line, and

leaving a section incomplete to allow the fitting of the outlet pipe.

For load classes E600 and F900, it is recommended that the

foundation is strengthened with reinforcing rods.

Step 3: Channel and Pipe Installation

Lay the channels starting from the flow outlet and secure them at

the base to prevent them floating and moving out of line during

casting of the concrete flanking. Install the required discharge

outlets and carry out the side flanking up to the maximum height

allowed, as shown.

It is recommended that gratings are installed prior to casting the

concrete to make installation quicker and to avoid the channel

edges distorting due to pressure from the concrete. If required the

concrete flanking may be strengthened with reinforcing rods as

well as the concrete foundation (see step 2).

In case a completely water proof drainage line is required, we

recommend the use of a bituminous silicon sealant; such as

“Shell Tixophalte”. Apply a sealing stripe on each slot between

the channels. It is recommended this is done after coupling the

channels.

HD-PE Channel Drain - Installation (continued)

In every case, always:

• Check the load carrying capacity of the existing, and imported,

ground materials.

• Use concrete and stone aggregate appropriate for the

supporting construction.

• Ensure the correct height relationship is maintained between

channel grating and adjacent finishes.

• Use the correct dimensions for the supporting concrete in

accordance with EN 1433 load classes.
