Embracing a philosophy that “The Process is Just as Important as the Product”, Alproof champions locally made and sustainably manufactured products. Our latest addition to the lineup is the 200mm clear opening commercial channel drain. Manufactured entirely from 100% recycled plastic, this innovative solution exemplifies our dedication to both quality and eco-conscious practices.
Local Ingenuity in Action
At Allproof, we take pride in our hands-on approach to design and manufacturing. Our dedicated team, consisting of product designers, tool makers, engineers, and fabricators, collaborates seamlessly under one roof. This in-house synergy not only facilitates meticulous craftsmanship but also ensures optimal stock levels, reducing our reliance on offshore production and shipping. With production centered in Auckland and distribution extending across Melbourne, Victoria, and Brisbane, QLD, we’ve streamlined logistics, providing a more reliable solution than offshore alternatives.
Revolutionising Drainage with the 200mm Commercial Channel Drain
Recognising a gap in the market for a high-capacity medium-duty plastic strip drain, our team embarked on a 12-month journey from concept to completion. The result is the 200mm commercial channel drain – a robust and easily installable linear drainage system suitable for concrete casting or paver applications.
This exceptional trench drain offers a variety of grates, including the heelproof black plastic (GFP) grate, designed to withstand Australian conditions. Our cast iron (HCI) drainage grate boasts a class D load rating for commercial traffic under AS3996, while a stainless-steel wedge wire option provides a solution for class B vehicle traffic and R11 slip-rated pedestrian areas in urban street planning.
Moreover, the system includes an inline sump for sediment catchment, preserving the aesthetics of a linear channel drainage system without the need for separate stormwater pit collection points. The channels seamlessly clip together, eliminating the requirement for joiners or separate corner pieces, making it a swift and efficient system to assemble. The clip and connect joining system, integrated with right-angle knockouts for corners, ensures a user-friendly and quick-to-install system. The channels are easily customisable on-site, with the channel levelling rebar clip simplifying placement and eliminating the need for traditional haunching (unless preferred). Lay out the drainage system, clip together, position rebar through the clips, and adjust the channel height.
