Drainage And Water Management
Channel systems, gullies and chambers where the steel top has to suit an opening that was cast rather than machined.
Where It Goes Wrong
- Panels ordered to a nominal opening that do not fit the opening as built
- Covers rocking in the frame and banging under every wheel
- Rust starting at every panel joint along an outdoor run
- Grating routed around a walking line because no heel-safe option was specified
- Channels blocked by grit packed into a mesh that was too tight
What These Buyers Ask For
- Panels made from measured dimensions, not from the drawing that was issued
- Hold-downs and clips where vehicles brake and turn
- Hot-dip galvanizing applied after cutting and banding
- Heel guard pitch where a run crosses a pedestrian route
- Junction, corner and gully panels made with the run
