SmartDitch

SmartDitch is a HDPE ditch-lining conveyance system that controls the flow of water. This highly engineered plastic ditch liner is often specified in places where traditional methods like riprap, concrete, and earthen lined ditches have failed. SmartDitch is an ideal solution for slope stabilization, drainage, and erosion/sediment control. This virtually maintenance-free product has been specified for numerous roadside DOT jobs, irrigation/agriculture, land development, and landfill maintenance/restoration projects. Whether your project calls for a new installation, ditch rehabilitation or temporary flow diversion, SmartDitch's thermoformed construction and flexible design will make it long lasting, lightweight, less costly and easy to install.

 

SmartDitch narrows the performance gap between what traditional drainage channels provide and what today's engineers demand. Available in a trapezoidal or semi-circular configuration, SmartDitch is quickly replacing dumped stone and vegetated channels as a preferred product for drainage applications. Designed for superior hydraulics, durability, structural integrity and easy installation, SmartDitch provides excellent value and cost-effective performance.

 

SmartDitch's hydraulic characteristics remain constant over time providing maximum drainage over the life of the system. The toughness of polyethylene withstands abrasive flows, corrosion, and even the most aggressive chemical attacks. SmartDitch prevents unwanted vegetation growth and the corrugated wall design produces a self scouring action that minimizes silt build-up in the flow line.

 

When designing drainage projects with difficult access, in remote locations, or on uneven terrain and sloped conditions, SmartDitch's lightweight rugged construction allows for a quick installation in the most difficult situations.

 

Typical Project Applications for SmartDitch include:

• Municipal Stormwater Systems
• Transportation System Drainage
• Edge and Slope Drainage
• Site Drainage for Mine Runoffs
• Drainage Overflow Channels

 

Product Benefits

• Hydraulic characteristics constant over time
• 0.022 Manning's "n" coefficient
• Reduced runoff velocities
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Resistance to corrosion and chemicals
• Reduced maintenance costs

MegaDitch

In every drainage application there are needs for both small and large-scale water control solutions. The SmartDitch MegaDitch system was developed in response to the demand for a large-scale version of the successful SmartDitch System. MegaDitch is the first expandable HDPE channel and is the ideal solution for large water flow applications.

 

The SmartDitch MegaDitch is an expandable channel lining system specifically designed for the rehab of very large, concrete-lined and earthen ditches and canals. MegaDitch is a dependable solution for new construction, stormwater drainage, erosion control, irrigation, industrial site containment systems and mining site water runoff applications. MegaDitch is engineered with adjustable sidewalls to conform to a variety of slopes and grades that are typically found in these unconventional large water flow applications. The base and wall sections are connected for maximum expandability and fit both flat-bottom and V-bottom channel profiles. Multiple bases and sidewall sections can be connected to any desired length or width.

 

Simple installation is the key to all SmartDitch HDPE channel lining products. The SmartDitch MegaDitch system is lightweight, flexible and easy to handle. It works on the same cable anchoring system as the standard SmartDitch products. Once installed, the deep-ribbed design provides exceptional strength and flow control.
