Drain Channels
Channels

The Colorado drainage design is one of the most substantial and robust channel units in the Aspen range.
It is specifically designed to withstand the rigors and demands of today’s heavy industrial processes and conform to the ever increasing standards of hygiene.
The double stainless steel box section rebate reinforcement provides increased strength at critical locations. A perforated stainless steel strip is fixed along the channel outer perimeter to assist in achieving maximum bond characteristics with interfacing floor finishes or expansion jointing mastic.
The channel body is manufactured from 2mm thick type 304 stainless steel sheet. The channel covers are separated using a welded 5mm bar as divisions to prevent the cover from moving if any adjacent covers are removed.
Such cross bracing also significantly increases the structural strength of the channel unit.
Aspen drainage channels are designed and manufactured with a standard built in fall of 1-150 to assist the self-draining process and are secured by concrete ties welded to the drain sides or mechanically fixed when being installed into certain ceramic floor tiling systems.
The channels are supplied in 5 metre lengths from the factory and then fully site welded, cleaned and polished.
Connections

)
The Aspen range of drainage is sized to suit plastic connectors.
We offer a supply, or supply and installation service for stainless steel underground waste pipes to complete the drainage package.
Covers
)
)
Choosing the correct drainage channel cover is as important as any other aspect of the channel specification, if providing the most effective drainage installation is to be achieved.
Included within the Aspen range are a wide variety of drainage channel cover plates to address the various influencing criteria. Issues such as anti-slip profile for safety underfoot, ease of clean, cover weight, load capacity, drainage facility and appearance, must all be addressed to ensure a successful installation.
The Aspen range of drainage channel covers are manufactured to fit the total Aspen range of channel profiles (Colorado/Davos Plus). All cover designs can be manufactured from type 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Outlets
)
The Aspen range of channels can be matched with a variety of drain channel outlets. The drain channel outlet offers a sealed connection between the sub terrain drainage pipe and the Aspen channel.
This outlet also incorporates a minimum 50mm water trap with easy access for rodding and a removable trash basket to prevent factory debris filtering through to the effluent.
The linear position of the outlet can be pre-determined along the length of the channel or be placed at one or both ends of a channel.
On most installations our site teams will site check the outlet positions before manufacture commences.

Canal Engineering is pleased to announce the recent supply of a centre-piece staircase to the new Nanette Lepore flagship store in London.
The design called for a stylish feature staircase able to be integrated into the architect’s bold vision for the premises.
