Definitions

  • the present invention relates to drainage apparatus and in particular apparatus for improving drainage in solid concrete paving.
  • more traditional paving (not intended to allow grass to grow through it) can be obtained by forming paving from relatively small blocks (say around 500cm 2 in surface area) with relatively large gaps in between them.
  • this solution is not suitable where concrete slabs, rather than smaller blocks, are used.
  • Typical concrete slabs have a surface area in excess of 3000 cm 2 , being formed in sizes such as 60cm ⁇ 60cm ( ⁇ 5cm depth), or 90cm ⁇ 60cm ( ⁇ 5cm depth). In consequence large gaps are required, and still stormwater is concentrated in a relatively small area between the slabs.
  • EP0167384 discloses a drain construction comprising a preformed assembly which is located in a trench which is then filled, around the assembly, with concrete or similar material.
  • the assembly comprises two walls held apart by spring spacers to define a drainage slot, and a plastics pipe with which the walls are engaged.
  • FR2128224 discloses a drainage assembly comprising two opposing walls separated by a central section. Two drainage pipes extend through opposing apertures provided in each wall. The drainage assembly is installed and then concrete is poured around and set around the walls.
  • US4490067 discloses a drain modular element comprising an upper portion having opposing walls separated by a top surface, and a lower cylindrical portion.
  • US3876322 discloses a drain having a channel defined by two opposing walls which are resiliently biased apart by areas of flexure on a top wall connecting the walls.
  • US2649720 discloses a channel having drain conduits extending perpendicular from the channel to a storm sewer.
  • GB2538753 discloses a slot drain comprising a channel, a throat with two walls extending up from the channel, and a separator plate attached to and between the walls.
  • EP0166719 discloses a profile seal for filling the joints of slabs.
  • the seal includes a central web bearing on a U-shaped channel whose side walls can be pushed in and form a dovetail-shaped groove in the compressed state.
  • US2002/057945 discloses a modular trench drainage system for placement in a trench of a natural surface or pavement.

  • the slot drain has a channel delimited by two opposing channel walls, the channel walls being resiliently biased apart. Each channel is located in use along the edge of a concrete slab, and the resilient bias allows the channel to expand and contract with the slab.
  • the expansion joint has an expanded state when the adjacent concrete slab is contracted and a contracted state when the adjacent concrete slab is expanded.
  • the resilient bias may be provided by one or more resilient components arranged between the channel walls. Opposing resilient components may be provided on (the inside surfaces of) each channel wall, so as to abut one another. A plurality of resilient components may be spaced along each opposing channel wall.

  • the cover may be provided with further apertures for connection to the channel walls.
  • the cover may be provided in a rebate.
  • the rebate may be provided in head pieces attached to the channel walls, or may be integral with the channel walls.
  • the rebate may be sized to provide a recess that supports the cover, but has edges that are wider than the cover in the expanded state (of the slot drain) and edges that are closer together, optionally touching the edges of the cover, in the contracted state (of the slot drain).

  • the pipes may not be perforated, in which case they may be plumbed to a water harvesting system.
  • both perforated and unperforated pipes may be provided, so that some water can be harvested and some can drain away.

  • Each curved edge may curve inward (i.e. to be closer to the centre of the recess in the middle, than at the corners). This curvature can provide some stiffness to resist live concrete load on the side walls of the formers.
  • the sides of the recesses may be corrugated. Corrugation would further aid stiffness. On the other hand, if the additional stiffening can be dispensed with and the recesses provided with no corrugations and no curves, a greater percentage of concrete will be in contact with the base.
  • Each recess may be at least 20mm deep, more preferably at least 40mm deep, for example at least 50mm deep.
  • the slot drain may be at least 50cm long, more preferably at least 75cm long and more preferably still at least 1m long.

  • the connection means consists of a groove 11 (vertical in normal use), into which the top end of the channel wall is inserted and attached, by snap fitting, adhesion or the like.
  • Each head piece 10 could be formed integrally with the channel wall 2. However, providing separate parts means that the height of the slot drain 1 can be adjusted by cutting down the height of the channel wall 2 before attaching the head piece 10 thereto.

  • the longitudinal rebates in this example have a depth of 10mm and the cover 12 has a similar depth of 9mm.
  • the rebates 14 extend along the entire length of the head pieces 10 and, in this embodiment have a width of 26mm.
  • the cover 12 is loosely fastened to the head pieces 10 (in the recess provided by the rebates 14), so as to allow relative horizontal movement between the cover 12 and the head pieces 10, but restrain the cover 12 in the vertical (in use) direction.

  • the rebates 14 in this embodiment are sized to support the cover 12 whilst expanding by at least 2.5mm on each side of the cover which accommodates typical levels of expansion, even in quite large slabs of concrete.
  • the head piece 10 Apart from its main function supporting the cover 12, whilst allowing for relative movement of the channel walls 2 and the inside surfaces of the head piece 10 towards and away from each other, the head piece 10 also supports a filter 19, arranged beneath the cover 12.

These pipes 26 may be connected to collect and harvest the water entering the slot drain 1, or they may guide the water beneath the concrete for attenuated natural permeation. In particular, the pipes 26 may be perforated, in order to spread the area over which the water is discharged to produce a more sustainable system, providing drip-feed permeation into the sub-base.
  • the slot drain 1 could be used with pre-formed concrete slabs, preferably specially formed pre-formed concrete slabs, having voids through which the pipes 26 can extend. However, it is preferred that the slot drain 1 is provided as a kit, together with one or more moulds (or “formers”) 27 into which concrete can be poured to form concrete slabs 28 in situ.

As best seen in figure 7 , the moulds 27 are arranged such that the pipes 26 extend along the voids between the recesses 29. Moulds 27 are connected to one another using the sleeves 32, so as to form a complete layer of the area required for formation of concrete slab 28. If, for example, a square area is prepared, slot drains 1 may be arranged all round the area where the slab 28 will be formed.

Then, concrete is poured into the cavity up to or near to the height of the top of the head pieces 10 and allowed to set. This creates concrete paving, having downwardly depending portions (in the recesses 29) with voids therebetween, into which surface water may run, via the slot drains 1. Expansion and contraction of the concrete will be allowed by the slot drains 1, which can contract and expand in response, owing to the resilient components between channel walls 2 and head pieces 10.
  • Slot drains 1 may, of course, be provided between two regions of concrete formed in this manner. Moreover, slot drains 1 may be prepared as set out above, but with pre-formed concrete slabs (having downwardly depending portions) spaced to fit between the pipes 26 put into place. Conceivably, conventional concrete slabs, without downwardly depending portions could be used, provided the base course was built up around the pipes 26 to the level of the platform 8, so that the slabs do not bear on the pipes 26.
