Question...
"I am trying to specify a trench drain, for a poured-in-place parking garage. Can you direct me to a manufacturer who makes something for this type of installation? A prefabricated, trench with traffic duty grate/frame. Or, how have you seen this handled in the past? Usually, the architect provides/specifies the trench drain, we just connect to it. So, I need a little help. "

Zurn, J.R. Smith, Wade and ABT manufacture various trench drains that work well in parking garages. Check out their catalogs if you have them or visit the following web pages:
