Case Study:30,000-Meter Industrial Steel Grating Drainage Channel Covers – High Load Capacity & Custom Solutions

Project Overview

This project required approximately 30,000 meters of steel grating drainage channel covers for a large industrial site, used for long-distance drainage. The channels run along roads and equipment areas, so consistent panel sizes, structural stability, and durability were essential.

Unlike smaller projects, this system covered a wide area, including curved and irregular sections, which required high precision in design and installation.


Client Requirements and Engineering Challenges

The client emphasized several key requirements:

  • Panels must support passenger cars up to around 2 tons

  • Long-term outdoor use with reliable corrosion resistance

  • Standardized panel sizes for long drainage runs to simplify installation

  • Smooth transitions between curved and straight sections, avoiding gaps

  • Drainage channel width 500 mm, requiring accurate panel fit

The main challenge was ensuring load capacity and drainage performance while maintaining precise fit for non-standard sections and efficient installation.

Design and Customization

Based on the site layout, we took precise measurements for all curved and irregular sections and had them custom-fabricated.
Straight sections used standard sizes, ensuring reliable drainage and load performance while speeding up installation.

We optimized the joints and interfaces so that straight and curved sections fit together almost seamlessly. On site, installers only needed minor adjustments to assemble the panels.

This approach of customizing non-standard sections + standard straight sections ensured installation accuracy while controlling production and construction costs.


Manufacturing and Quality Control

Due to the large quantity and continuous installation, we carefully checked dimensions and surface quality of every panel in the factory.

Before shipment, each panel had its galvanizing thickness measured and underwent a load test to ensure it could be installed directly on site without extra work.


Installation and On-Site Observations

Straight sections used standard sizes, while curved and irregular sections were prefabricated according to measurements.
Installers could quickly assemble the panels with minimal adjustments. Panels fit snugly into the channels, making the installation process smoother than expected.

When the first curved panel was placed into the channel, the on-site team was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it fit. A few months later, water flowed smoothly, panels remained stable, with no gaps or rattling.


Client Feedback

The client reported that passenger cars occasionally drove over the covers without issue, and routine inspections and maintenance were convenient.
Overall, the system has been running reliably, leaving both the construction team and the client satisfied.

HOT-SALE PRODUCT

Welded Steel Grating

Welded Steel Grating is a high-quality flooring and access material that consists of load -bearing bars and crossbars.

Standard Steel Grating

Standard steel grating, also known as Open Steel Grating , usually has a length ranging from 1000mm to 7500mm and a width ranging from 993 to 1000mm. Bearing Bars range from 20*3mm to 150*10mm. The surface is flat or serrated, and the surface treatment is galvanized, painted or untreated.

Press Locked Steel Grating

Press-Locked Bar Grating is a steel grating product that tightly locks the cross bars (typically shorter than the bearing bars) and bearing bars together using high-pressure mechanical equipment.

Press Welded Grating

​Shunbo pressure welded grating is used in various industrial fields, municipal engineering, construction and offshore drilling platforms, etc. Each intersection of the Bearing Bar and the Cross Bar is continuously welded to form an extremely stable and durable structure.
