Josam/PRO-PLUS® Trench Drain System

PRO-PLUS® Trench Drain System

DISCOVER THE PRO-PLUS® DIFFERENCE.

What set’s Josam’s PRO-PLUS® Trench Drain apart from the rest? MATERIAL!

Josam’s PRO-PLUS® trench drain system is manufactured using glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) pressed from sheet molding compound (SMC), which is a composite of polyester resin, mineral fillers and glass-fiber mats.    The material has revolutionized many industrial products and has become indispensable in today’s world.

Its applications are wide and varied: from rotor blades for helicopters, bodywork for automobiles, to yachts and aircraft. In fact, glass-fiber reinforced polyester made from SMC is used wherever extreme conditions prevail and special degrees of durability and rigidity are called for, precisely as in JOSAM’s PRO-PLUS® drainage solutions.

The PRO-PLUS® Trench Drain System is lighter, stronger and expands and contracts in extreme temperature ranges less than polymer concrete, polypropylene, and HDPE. In addition, SMC/GRP has greater compressive, flexural, and tensile strength and less thermal expansion properties than polymer concrete, polypropylene, and HDPE. SMC/GRP is an innovative material and is clearly superior to all other trench channel materials.

PRO-PLUS® Trench Drains are available in various widths and depths and offer various grates to meet your project demands. These trench drains are perfect for applications such as sidewalks, swimming pool areas, shopping areas, parking lots, loading docks, commercial kitchens, breweries, airports, and various building facilities. Dedicated and knowledgeable customer service personnel are available to assist you in selecting the right engineered trench drain system for your project.
