Concrete Trench Drain with Metal Grate

This Revit family provides a cast-in-place concrete trench drain with an integrated metal grate for site and industrial drainage. The component features a robust, cast-in-place concrete channel profile designed for heavy-duty drainage applications. It includes a recessed ledge to accommodate a flush-mounted metal grate, ensuring a smooth transition with the surrounding floor or pavement finish. The cross-section displays a structural concrete foundation with flared sidewalls for added stability and load-bearing capacity. The geometry is clean and functional, focusing on the essential cross-sectional profile required for accurate section drawings and construction documentation. This model accurately represents the typical assembly of a linear drain system used in high-traffic or industrial environments.

The download is a 573 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically placed as a line-based component, allowing users to define the length of the trench drain to suit specific site conditions. Users should align the top surface with the finished floor level to ensure correct coordination with site grading and slope requirements within the project model.

This trench drain is suitable for industrial facilities, parking structures, loading docks, and exterior landscape projects where surface water management is required. It is commonly specified during the schematic design and construction documentation phases for civil and architectural site works. Professionals looking for drainage solutions in heavy-duty environments will find this component useful for coordinating site levels and detailing water runoff paths in both new build and renovation projects.
