MegaDitch
An Infinitely Expandable HDPE Channel Lining System
Product Selection
MegaDitch is expandable, easy and versatile
In every drainage application there are needs for both small and large-scale water control solutions. The SmartDitch MegaDitch was developed in response to the demand for a largescale version of the successful SmartDitch System. MegaDitch is the first expandable HDPE channel and is the ideal solution for large water flow applications.
MegaDitch is engineered with adjustable sidewalls to conform to the variety of slopes and grades that are typically found in these unconventional large water flow applications. The base and wall sections are connected for maximum expandability and fit both flat-bottom and V-bottom channel profiles. Multiple bases and sidewall sections can be connected to any desired length or width.

Flow Performance You Can Count On
You are not limited with MegaDitch system. The more base and wall sections you add, either wide or tall, the more water flow the system can control. Below are typical flow calculations based on four different MegaDitch assemblies.
Typical Flow performance on a slope of: 0.0075(ft)

Step 1
Step 2
A handheld power drill is used to install the self-tapping, corrosion resistant screws that join each section.
Step 3
Gaskets are applied to each downstream section to seal the joints in the floor. The ribbed interlocking design ensures a snug fit.
Step 4
A water and weather resistant adhesive is applied to the seams between the base sections and the interlocking/overlapping sidewalls.
