The range of linear drainage systems is further enhanced by new innovative products such as Traffic Drain, Landscape Drain, Max-E-Channel inlaid covers and Slot Drain. Most importantly, with Marshalls, the optimum economical drainage design can be readily achieved. All Marshalls systems comply with the requirements, of the appropriate standard; BS EN 9001, the Highway Agency’s Specification for Highway Works together with the requirements of British Standard, BS EN 1433:2002. BS EN 1433:2002 Marshalls’ policy is to manufacture products that, as a minimum requirement, comply with the relevant European, British or Company Standard as appropriate. Following the publication of any European Standard the government recognises that there is a period whereby manufacturers need to realign their product offer, quality control and in many cases the manufacturing operations. INTRODUCTION Almost all impermeable surfaces require some form of surface water drainage. Highways, service and storage facilities, car parks and pedestrian areas are best accommodated by either combined kerb and drainage or linear drainage systems bearing in mind location, efficiency, traffic loading, maintenance and aesthetics. Marshalls is one of the leading suppliers of drainage products and offers a comprehensive range of surface water drainage systems to cater for all applications. Marshalls also understands the design principles of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and particularly how designers can achieve sustainable drainage solutions using linear drainage systems or impermeable pavement design or an appropriate combination of both systems as the project requires. Two combined kerb and drainage systems are available - the original, well established Beany Block and now the recent addition of a smaller version, appropriately named Mini Beany. These are complemented by the large capacity Max-E-Channel and Birco Linear drainage systems. This comprehensive range of drainage options allows the designer to cater for: • Long lengths of highway (several kilometres depending on carriageway width and gradient) • Large or small paved areas • High storm water intensities
It is Marshalls' intention that the manufacture of all its linear drainage products complies with BS EN 1433:2002 within the required time frame. The load classification system documented in this Standard is referenced throughout this Design Guide. Details of product specific requirements are published in the product data sheets. DESIGN GUIDANCE AND CAD Marshalls Computer Aided Design service can be called upon by specifiers and contractors alike in relation to the detailing of Marshalls Drainage products. The drawings are created in consultation with the Design Team. Contact

THE CASE FOR LINEAR DRAINAGE
THE CASE FOR LINEAR DRAINAGE INTRODUCTION The growing demand for more cost-effective and less complicated drainage systems has led to modern linear drainage becoming the preferred choice amongst specifiers and contractors alike. Marshalls’ unique linear drainage systems combine the clear-cut advantages of linear drainage over traditional point drainage, with the benefits of a high quality, robust precast concrete product. SURFACE WATER INTERCEPTION • More efficient at intercepting running water • Ponding is reduced or eliminated as is streaming water across a site SHALLOW DEPTH OF CONSTRUCTION • Inherently shallow construction required • Savings due to reduced excavation • Reduces construction time, offering further savings • Less conflict with existing underground services • Reduced quantities of spoil to be disposed of
INTRODUCTION
EASE OF DESIGN Performs more efficiently with just the use of concrete channels, grates, outfalls and reduced amounts of pipework. • Only requires shallow depth construction • Limited number of components required • Does not require complex crossfalls to be incorporated • Design of crossfalls and longitudinal falls of adjacent hard landscaping is straightforward • Improved end user performance
8
EASE OF INSTALLATION • Channel line and level can be set out with ease • Crossfalls are less complex to set out or construct compared with point drainage • Expensive construction time saved due to shallow construction • On-site errors are easier to avoid • Unlike other options, Marshalls’ systems do not require temporary ballast (e.g. sand) during installation • Inherently strong and robust precast concrete reduces on-site damage SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS BY REDUCING CARRIER PIPES • Many schemes can utilise the inherent ability of a channel or combined kerb and drainage system to act not just as the traditional gully in point drainage, but also as the carrier pipe in storing and transporting surface water. • Any carrier pipes will be at a shallower depth with resultant cost savings • Fewer expensive manholes required • Less spoil to be removed from site • Improved health and safety on site through reduced need for deep excavation work
Fig. 1 Typical point drainage system, illustrating the need for complex crossfalls with attendant implications for design, installation and cost
Fig. 2 Typical equivalent linear drainage system
STORAGE OF SURFACE WATER Linear drainage can utilise the storage capability of its channels to good effect where there are limitations placed on the total outflow of the scheme. This temporary storage facility has been utilised to: • Attenuate peak flows • Avoid or reduce costs of balancing ponds or reservoirs • Reduce pipework sizes at outfalls REDUCED MAINTENANCE • Easier and less costly to maintain than other forms of surface water drainage systems • Easy to access along the whole length of the linear drainage system via removable gratings or regular access points • Blockages will not completely disrupt the whole system and can be dealt with easily • Inherently strong and robust precast concrete systems resistant to the effects of freeze thaw and de-icing salts AESTHETICS • Wide choice of decorative metal gratings or textured and coloured top blocks to enhance the aesthetics of a scheme • Straight lines of linear drainage can be incorporated into the overall design CONTROL OF SPILLAGE • Allows total control of unwanted liquids in an emergency END USER COMFORT • Eliminates false falls and consequent ‘roller coaster’ effect for vehicular traffic associated with point drainage • Level surface offers greater comfort to pedestrians

SELECTION PROCESS
SELECTION PROCESS LINEAR DRAINAGE PRODUCT SELECTION PROCEDURE The following pages describe the procedure for choosing the most appropriate Marshalls linear drainage system for a particular application. Marshalls’ comprehensive range of drainage systems can be split into three categories; 1. Combined Kerb and Drainage systems specifically designed for kerbside use; •

The position of outfall, the area to be drained, topography and rainfall intensity will each affect the final decision as to which is the most appropriate system. However, there are two fundamental factors which, more than any other, determine which system is most appropriate; • Location( i.e. kerbside or non-kerbside) • Capacity

SELECTION PROCESS
COMBINED KERB AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
SELECTION PROCEDURE The key deciding factor as to which combined kerb and drainage system to specify will often be flow capacity. The following procedure and graph can be used to determine which of the two Marshalls systems is most appropriate: Step 1
Determine gradient of the system
Step 2
Determine peak flow in the system
Step 3
Refer to graph Fig. 4 (below) to determine which is the most appropriate system
EXAMPLE 1 For a combined kerb and drainage system, with a gradient of 1 in 100, where the calculated peak discharged is 54l/s. Fig. 3 shows that Mini Beany has a capacity of 66 l/s at a gradient of 1 in 100. Refer to the Mini Beany section, page 41, to determine which of the Mini Beany systems to specify.
