Trench drain system

Filtration installations include wrapping the trench of a pavement-edge drain system to prevent contamination of the underdrain placement behind retaining walls and bridge abutments to prevent contamination of the sand blanket placed against the stmcture to allow dissipation of pore pressures in order to avoid failure of the stmcture as silt fences to allow surface mnoff from a site while retaining the soil suspended in the mnoff and on earth slopes beneath larger stone or other overlay materials to prevent erosion of the slope as water escapes from the interior of the slope. 

A drainage system includes a containment system using solid, impermeable floors with perimeter features (curbing, floor slope, or trenches) to limit and control the spread of liquids and a collection system (floor drains or trenches, catch basins, sumps, piping, and manholes) to direct the liquids into a gravity drain system that routes them to an appropriate location out of the unit. 

The installation must be designed in such a way that any leak of a liquid (for example, liquefied petroleum gas) could be immediately removed from the area in which there is the tank that must be protected. The ground should be smooth and with a slope of 2.5% (1.5% minimum) a draining system must lead to a trench or a tank far enough away to avoid contact between the flames and the tank. It must be taken into account that in case of wind, the flames can have an inclination of 45° as well as a significant drag and that they can reach approximately twice the diameter of the trench (Kletz, 1977).

The term passive interception is used to describe recovery systems that rely upon natural groundwater flow to deliver free-phase NAPLs to the collection facility without the addition of external energy (such as pumping). These systems often include linear interception-type systems such as trenches (or French drains), subsurface dams ( funnel-and-gate structures), combined hydraulic underflow with skimming, and density skimming units. 

During the design phase, all of the data derived from the hydraulic characterization are evaluated for use in the selection of recovery pumping equipment and for the determination of the most appropriate subsurface fixtures (whether wells, trenches, or drains, etc.). A variety of generic scenarios may be appropriate to optimize product recovery. If the product thickness is sufficient, the viscosity low, and the formation permeable, a simple pure-product skimming unit may be the best choice. Other combinations of permeability, geology, and product quality will require more active systems, such as one-pump total fluid, or two-pump recovery wells. 

Several recovery scenarios were considered for remediation. Initially, construction of a narrow, permeable trench parallel to the canal appeared to be an appropriate interception system. The construction technique considered was use of a specially designed deep trenching unit. This type of trench would have included a tile drain leading to a single two-pump recovery well. However, a review of the subsurface site plans and interviews with long-term employees determined that an unknown number of buried pipes traverse the area intended for the trench construction. Disruption of refining operations and safety considerations resulted in rejection of this option.

Underground or enclosed drains are preferred over open trenches since enclosed drains provide a method of removing spilled liquids from the area without exposing equipment to burning liquids. Further, trenches can act as collection points for heavier than air vapors. If used, trenches should be routed in a way that will not carry fire protection water and burning liquids through another fire area. If unavoidable, fire stops (weirs) should be provided in the trench system between the fire areas. Additionally, fire codes normally prohibit enclosed drainage chaimels for TNG areas except where they are used to rapidly conduct spilled TNG away from critical areas. They are sized for the anticipated liquid flow and vapor formation rates.
