Trench Drain Systems: What are they? What are my options? Why shouldn't all my projects use them? You walk, drive and park overthem every day of your life -- most likely without even being aware of them -- trench drain systems. As surface water and fluid management becomes more of a focus on every new, and renovation construction project this program will address what trench drain systems are; what are your design options; and why shouldn't you consider them for most every one of your projects?
