Resort & Hotel Trench Drains
Resorts and hotels require drainage systems that combine functionality, safety, and visual appeal. From pool decks and spas to driveways, courtyards, and kitchens, trench drains must perform flawlessly while complementing the property’s design aesthetic. TrenchDrainCo trench drain systems are engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and architectural integration — ensuring a safe, clean, and luxurious environment across every guest-facing and operational area.
Key Requirements
-
Load Rating
Varies by location and use:
• Pool decks, spas, patios, and walkways: A15–B125 for pedestrian areas.
• Driveways and porte-cochères: C250–D400 for light vehicle traffic.
• Service areas and delivery bays: D400–E600 for heavier vehicle loads.
Each drainage zone must balance appearance, flow performance, and safety.
-
Material Durability
Hospitality environments expose drainage systems to moisture, cleaning agents, chlorinated water, and variable temperatures.
• HDPE or Polymer Concrete channels for long-term outdoor durability.
• Stainless steel (304 or 316) grates for pool, spa, and kitchen zones with chemical exposure.
• Decorative cast or brass grates for high-end aesthetic applications.
• Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) channels in driveways or service courtyards.
• Non-corrosive edge rails and anchors to ensure lasting structural integrity.
-
Site Conditions
• Surface areas should slope toward trench drains (1–2%) for efficient runoff.
• Drainage must prevent puddling, slipperiness, and freeze hazards in exterior spaces.
• Systems should connect seamlessly to local stormwater networks or collection basins.
• For pool and spa areas, ensure drains meet hygiene and chemical resistance requirements.
-
User Requirements
• Aesthetic integration: Minimalist, decorative linear drains that complement resort architecture.
• Slip resistance: Non-slip, heel-proof grates in pedestrian zones.
• Low maintenance: Removable grates for quick cleaning.
• Corrosion and chemical resistance: Especially near saltwater pools or spas.
• Durability: Handle foot, luggage cart, and vehicle traffic without deformation.
• Quiet operation: Grate seating systems designed to prevent rattling or noise.

Engineering Notes
When designing drainage for resorts and hotels:
- Match channel and grate materials to the environmental exposure (chlorine, saltwater, detergents).
- Ensure ADA compliance for all pedestrian-accessible zones.
- In pool and spa environments, specify 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.
- Use linear drains at door thresholds or transitions between interior and exterior areas to prevent water ingress.
- Confirm trench drain capacity aligns with local rainfall intensity and peak flow calculations.
- Consider decorative grate options for branding consistency and architectural alignment.
