Trench Drains Case Study: Diamond Plate Stainless Trench Covers Installed in Florida Property

SIGMA’s Trench Drain Division was recently contacted by a distributor in the Florida Panhandle to address a drainage problem on a local property. The site had a conveyance trench and grate that continuously failed due to rust and overflow. In addition, the existing grate presented a slipping hazard for pedestrians, and this also needed to be addressed. They sought a solution that would provide durability, resistance to corrosion, and an anti slip surface for pedestrian traffic. They were also concerned about fit, because the area was relatively compact and could not accommodate a large component.

The SIGMA Stainless diamond plate trench drain cover met all specifications. Because the SIGMA Stainless line is custom made to order, the fit was assured. The stainless steel material is rust and corrosion resistant, even in coastal regions where the salt air can create durability challenges. Finally, the diamond pattern provided a slip resistant surface to ensure pedestrian safety. The installation was successfully completed, and the SIGMA Stainless Diamond Plate Trench Cover has met all of the site specifications.
