Drainage
 SmartDitch narrows the performance gap between what traditional drainage channels provide and what today's engineers demand. Available in a trapezoidal or semi-circular configuration, SmartDitch is quickly replacing dumped stone and vegetated channels as a preferred product for drainage applications. Designed for superior hydraulics, durability, structural integrity and easy installation, SmartDitch provides excellent value and cost effective performance.
SmartDitch’s hydraulic characteristics remain constant over time providing maximum drainage over the life of the system. The toughness of polyethylene withstands abrasive flows, corrosion, and even the most aggressive chemical attacks. SmartDitch prevents unwanted vegetation growth and the corrugated wall design produces a self scouring action that minimizes silt build up in the flowline.
When designing drainage projects with difficult access, in remote locations, or on uneven terrain and sloped conditions, SmartDitch’s lightweight rugged construction allows for a quick installation in the most difficult situations.
Typical Project Applications for SmartDitch include:
- Municipal Stormwater Systems
- Transportation System Drainage
- Edge and Slope Drainage
- Site Drainage for Mine Runoffs
- Drainage Overflow Channels
Product Benefits
