Background description of company and its products:
	A manufacturer of linear drainage (trench drain and slotted drain) with state of the art solutions.
Recommended Uses-Primary: Culverts and Drainage Structures
Recommended Uses-Alternate: Please Select ...
Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Trench drain sections are longer (8'''''''' standard, up to 16'''''''' by request) and lighter than their polymer concrete or precast concrete counterparts, and is significantly faster and more accurate than using the cast in place method of setting trench drains. The frame system fastens mechanically into the surrounding concrete encasement, and ensures loading is distributed from grate to frame and into the strong surrounding concrete encasement. The trench body can be built at various widths (standard goes from 2" internal up to 48" wide, with 4"/6"/8"/10"/12" being most typical) and at any depth and slope as needed to achieve the design intent. Any pipe outlet and connection type can be accommodated, and the flexibility of the product gives the Engineer comfort in what they are drawing can be built, and the Contractor confidence in being able to build what is needed.
General Composition of Material:
	Grates are typically made of ductile cast iron, though they can be made with steel (carbon steel powder coated or galvanized, or stainless), fiberglass, and other materials as needed. Frames are typically made of carbon steel that is either black powder coated or galvanized, or stainless steel, though fiberglass is another option sometimes used where chemicals or heavy salt usage is a concern. The trench body itself is made of glass fiber reinforced polymer concrete (GFRPC)
