- The present invention relates generally to trench drains used in commercial carwash systems. More specifically, the invention is a carwash trench drain made up of precast wash-trench sections.
- In modern day western civilization, there is a great demand for carwash facilities. Constructing a new commercial tunnel carwash involves building a carwash trench drain. Constructing a trench drain is expensive and time consuming. Prior art methods involve building or handling forms for concrete pouring on site which requires considerable time, effort, and the employment of a number of trades, and is subject to weather conditions. Thus, there is a need for a faster less weather dependent way of constructing carwash trench drains.
- A carwash trench drain. In one embodiment, a method is provided for installing a carwash trench drain. The method includes the steps of: providing precast wash-trench sections, digging and grading a trench, and setting the precast wash-trench sections in series joined end to end in the trench to provide the carwash trench drain. In another embodiment, a section of carwash trench drain includes a precast section of generally U-shaped rectangular cross section. The precast wash-trench section includes a horizontal floor and opposite first and second sidewalls. The first and second opposite sidewalls respectively define first and second top edges. At least one wash-form is fitted to the top edge of at least one of the opposite sidewalls.

The carwash trench-drain 140 as shown inFIG. 1 is made up of a plurality of precast wash-trench sections100 (represented by the alphanumeric labels “100a” through to “100j”). The precast wash-trench sections 100 are joined in series. It should be understood that the actual number of precast wash-trench sections 100 used to install a particular carwash trench-drain 140 can vary without detracting from the spirit of the invention.- FIGS. A1 through A25 show how a carwash trench-
drain 140 of the present invention was installed at a customer's site using a plurality of precast wash-trench sections 100. Eighty feet of a carwash trench-drain 140 was installed in far less time than it would take using prior art pour-in place methods. More specifically, the carwash trench-drain 140 and wash-form 420 can be installed in 1 or 2 days and be ready for concrete pouring of the bay-area floor 410. Conventional methods can take up to 2 weeks to install a conventional carwash trench-drain depending on weather conditions. - With respect to FIGS. A1-A3, pre-formed wash-
trench sections 100 arrive by truck (FIG. A1) on aconstruction site 120 and unloaded from a truck-bed 160 ready for installation in a selected bay-area 180. In FIG. A2, the bay-area 180 is shown cleared of obstructions and ready for trench digging and installation of pre-formed wash-trench sections 100. In FIG. A3, the bay-area 180 is measured out and checked over prior to placement of the wash-trench sections 100. - Referring to FIG. A4, based on customer specifications for the carwash trench-
drain 140, the bay-area 180 is marked using a fluorescent marker (not shown) to provide a longitudinal guideline200 for guiding a trench-digger machine 220. In FIG. A4, the trench-digger machine 220 is shown digging atrench 240 adjacent to guideline200. The depth of thetrench 240 is selected to ensure that the depth is sufficient to accommodate the pre-formed wash-trench sections 100 shown in FIG. A1. To ensure proper trench depth is achieved, any suitable system can be used. In FIG. A5, alaser transit 260 is used to assure that thetrench 240 is dug to the appropriate depth. - Each part of the freshly dug
trench 240 is graded as shown in FIG. A7 to provide a gradedtrench floor 280. It is important to grade the trench to ensure proper wastewater flow (seeFIG. 3 ). As each part of thetrench 240 is graded, a pre-formed wash-trench section 100 is placed in the trench (see FIG. A6). - As each
