Handling

Holes are provided in the ribs of the trenches. Clamps are fixed using
bolts (as shown in figure) and then lifted by a crane. It is advisable to lift
at 60 degree.

Laying

 U-Drains are supposed to be kept on level and stable ground or


timber bearer to avoid cracking due to undesired localized load.
 U-Drains are to be laid on a layer of well compacted granular soil
and there should be no settling of soil.
 For a cushioning effect and to level it, it is better to put a layer of
quarry dust.

Placing
 Trenches are supposed to be kept on level and stable ground or timber
bearer to avoid cracking due to undesired localized load.
 Cable Trenches are to be laid on a layer of well compacted granular soil
and there should be no settling of soil.

Jointing

 Rebar’s are drilled in the joints


 Two adjacent trenches are connected using a chicken mesh and the
joints are grouted
 Joints are water proofed after the grout sets

Drains in Sloped Topography

 On sloped topography, the required gradient at the invert level can


be maintained by filling a lean concrete on the floor of the U-Drain
as shown in the image.

As per the Slope the


depth of the drain vary

Cover Slab

 Cover slab is designed for various loads (light loads and heavy loads) based on
requirement.
 Corner protection with MS flat is given based on the thickness of the slab.
 In traffic prone areas with continuous movement of vehicles, the cover slab is
seated on a 2mm neoprene rubber strip to damp the vibration and for better
grip.
