Advantages of RECYFIX drainage systems
In contrast to traditional in-situ u-shaped concrete trenches with outsourced drain covers, our RECYFIX modular drainage systems are robust, durable and cost-effective ‘all-in-one’ solutions. They are manufactured from high-quality, 100% corrosion-free recycled composite and consist of a channel body and integrated cover. Discover through our comparison why it pays to drain with RECYFIX surface drainage systems for the Philippines and other Asian countries.
Problems with In-Situ Trenches
Traditional in-situ trenches show several disadvantages in comparison to a modern drainage system like RECYFIX solutions.
General problems
Poor quality and durability of in-situ trenches: Concrete produced on-site often does not fulfill the highest quality standards compared to factory-made products and so often fail after a short time (e.g. cracks in concrete or breakdown of a system)
No traffic-secure solution: Neither channel nor cover can be tested for requested loading capacity
Poor security
Unsecured covers: They do not have any fixing with the trench body
Risk of injuries: Bigger slots are dangerous for pedestrians
Unpleasant optical appearance
Cracks in concrete start to destroy the trench and cover step by step which does not look good
Rusted covers: Cheap ductile iron covers tend to rust immediately
Greater effort and costs for installation
Time-consuming and costly installation: Higher costs on formwork, leveling, and finishing that are required
