Slot Channel US

About the App

SlotChannelUS is a unique trench drainage system to provide for an effective means to drain your site. This product is efficient, economical and looks good! The app provides analysis of slot flow capacity in order to evaluate site specific needs and requirements. In addition the designer can quickly estimate and size slot drains for various applications from roadway systems to commerecial developments. You can easily size the drains you need and get an estimate of the cost of your system in minutes.

This product will surprise you while providing an efficient and economical system that is just as esthetically pleaseing to your overall project. Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the application.

This app will introduce you to the ability of a slot drain to effectively be used on your project. There is enough engineering behind this app to allow you to plan, analyze and develop a system for your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the app calculate flow though the slot?

The app uses procedures developed in HEC-22 for analysis of flows to a slot. The slot is treated as both a weir and than as an orifice as the depth of flow increase over the slot.

How are drains sized?

The app employs the rational method for runoff computations and the manning's flow equation is used for the various analysis to determine the maximum capacity in the pipe for a given slope.

What rainfall intensities are supported for the rational method?

The app has built in support for the rainfall intensities for Florida (by Zones), Texas (by County) and portions of Germany. Design event intensities include:
