The product

The heavy U-Shape Drain (T25) is a precast channel built to carry storm water, and power and telecommunication cable ducts, along the roads that take the most punishment. Each unit is cast, cured and tested in our Surat yard, then delivered to the trench as finished work — sealed, smooth-bored and ready to set.

Rated for a 5 T wheel load, the section takes traffic straight over the channel without flexing or cracking. It is the line we put under highways, crossings and industrial roads where the cover has to be as strong as the road around it.

Why precast

Pouring drains in place means formwork, curing time and an open trench across active routes for days. Precast changes the maths — the channel arrives finished, sets in sequence with the civil works, and is sealed and trafficable almost as fast as it can be laid.

Where it's used

It carries storm water drains and power and telecommunication cable ducts along national highways, industrial estates and heavy crossings — anywhere the drain has to disappear into the road and carry load from day one.

Cast once, in a controlled yard. What reaches the trench is finished, trafficable work, not a job still waiting to be poured.

— Why it holds up

Made for the roads that take the most.

The same factory standard, batch after batch — built so the channel never becomes the weak point in the road.
01

Built for traffic

— FAQ

About the heavy (T25) drain.

Common questions on load, jointing and laying. For anything project-specific, send us your drawing.

01What traffic load can the heavy (T25) drain take?

Its load carrying capacity is a 5 T wheel load — a 10 T axle, 5 T on each wheel — so traffic runs straight over the channel. That's the line we put under highways, crossings and industrial roads where the cover has to match the road around it.

02What concrete grade and reinforcement is it cast in?

High-performance concrete from M50 to M75, RCC reinforced, cast and strength-tested to IS standards in our Surat yard. Every batch carries test certificates and traceability.

03What sizes are available, and can the cover be removed?

Standard channels are 300 × 300, 450 × 450, 600 × 600, 750 × 750, 900 × 900 and 1200 × 1200 mm, all in 2000 mm lengths. Covers come standard (perforated) or without hole, and lift off for cleaning and access.

04How are units jointed and sealed on site?

A groove joint with mortar filling keeps the line sealed against silt and infiltration. The smooth precast bore keeps water moving and stops silt settling.

05What base preparation does it need?

A 100 mm thick PCC base (as per site requirement) with a 20 mm thick mortar bed under the channel, and a nominal slope of about 1:1000 in the PCC if required. Units arrive finished and cured, so they're laid in sequence and sealed almost as fast as they're set.

06Can you cast a custom size or length?

Yes — customized sizes are available for mass quantity. Send a drawing with the section, grade and length and we'll cast to your exact spec.
