Precast concrete Industrial Trench Drains
At Gainey’s Concrete, we specialize in delivering efficient and durable precast concrete solutions for industrial drainage systems. We understand the unique challenges posed by industrial environments—tight timelines, complex layouts, and the need for reliable, cost-effective solutions. That’s why we offer precast concrete trench drains that are not only engineered for performance but also designed to make installation faster and more economical.
Why Choose Precast for INdustrial Drainage?
-
Traditional pour-in-place methods often come with significant drawbacks in industrial settings: longer construction timelines, unpredictable weather delays, and increased labor costs. Our precast solutions eliminate these issues, delivering products that arrive on-site ready for installation.
-
Precast Trench Drains and Industrial Catch Basins are manufactured off-site with precision, allowing for quicker setup and reduced labor on-site. This approach not only saves you time but also ensures higher quality and greater consistency compared to traditional methods.
-
Additionally, our precast trench systems are built to withstand the harshest environments, ensuring that your drainage system will perform effectively under the most demanding conditions.
Design Consultation: Bringing Your Vision to Life
We believe in more than just providing products; we are here to guide you through the design process to ensure the best possible solution for your project. Our talented design team boasts over 20 years of experience, making us experts in both civil and industrial engineering challenges.
Our Design Process:
-
Collaboration: We start by listening to your vision. Your goals become our blueprint, and we work together to ensure the final product meets your needs.
-
Expert Solutions: With our vast experience, we can handle complex engineering challenges, ensuring that every detail is accounted for and optimized.
-
Faster, Better, Cheaper: We believe in the power of precast to streamline the construction process. By converting cast-in-place to precast, we offer quicker, more efficient solutions that also cut costs, without compromising on quality.
-
Tailored Designs: No two projects are the same, which is why we offer customized precast solutions for every client. Whether it’s trench drains, catch basins, or other drainage systems, we can design a solution that works perfectly for your site.
Our goal is simple: to turn your vision into reality with the expertise, precision, and efficiency you expect from a leader in the industry.

| Ideal for wash-down environments
| No coating required | Very expensive
| Poor resistance to point loads and impact
| Limited structural stiffness
| Can dent or deform
| Not ideal for forklifts or trucks | Stainless Steel |
Very high strength
| Excellent wear resistance
| Handles heavy rolling loads well
| Long lifespan indoors | Corrodes in wet or chemical environments
| Extremely heavy
| Limited sizes and shapes
| Expensive
| Requires coatings for aggressive fluids | Cast Iron |
Outstanding chemical resistance
| Flexible (absorbs some ground movement)
| Lightweight and easy to install
| No corrosion | Low stiffness; can deform under load
| Can creep over time under constant stress
| Sensitive to temperature → expansion and contraction
| Limited fire resistance
| Requires very good backfill support | HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) |
Excellent chemical resistance
| Lightweight → easy installation
| Non-corrosive
| Electrically non-conductive
| Good for acid and caustic exposure | Limited structural capacity
| Can crack under point loads
| UV degradation over time
| Can become brittle with temperature cycling
| Repairability is poor | Fiberglass |
Extremely high structural capacity (handles forklifts, trucks, rail loads)
| Very long service life (50–100+ years)
| Can be custom-engineered for any size, slope, and embedment
| Excellent thermal stability (no warping or creep)
| Works well with integral liners, coatings, or polymer concretes
| Resistant to impact, abrasion, and UV
| Low deflection = maintains slope and hydraulic performance | Heavier → requires equipment to place
| Requires proper joint sealing and liners for aggressive chemicals
| Higher upfront cost than plastic (but lower lifecycle cost) | Precast Concrete |
