| 20090103982 | TRENCH DRAIN WITH SLOPING RAILS - A modular trench drain system with sloping overlay rails. A non-sloping section of trench drain is transformed into a sloping trench drain by installing sloping overlay rails. The overlay rails rest on the top of the upper edge of the sidewalls and may have a ledge which allows grating, which spans across the channel, to rest on top. The modular channel sections may be held together and in place by a channel bracket with holes for accepting support rods which further secure the channels in place before and after the concrete has been poured and cured around the channels. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20110268506 | FLOOD DEFENSE APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD - A flood defense apparatus including a channel | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120099927 | RAINWATER CHANNEL DRAIN - The present invention relates to a channel ( | 04-26-2012 |
| 20140341654 | Assembly for the Detention or Retention of Water and Other Fluids - Modules for use in an assembly for managing the flow of water beneath a ground surface and assemblies of such modules are disclosed. The modules include supports and a deck portion and the supports are spaced apart and form channels with a main section of the deck portion. The deck portion also includes at least one section extending from a main section. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20150322638 | STRUCTURAL LINING SYSTEM - A lining system for a ditch or canal constructed with tight tolerances so a gasket is not required to connect liner channel sections. Each channel liner has a female slot on a first end and a male protrusion on a second end for adjoining channel liners. Flushing strips with male protrusions are installed in female slots in between channel beams. Flushing strips with variable Manning coefficients can be inserted based on a user's needs. Self-anchoring tabs can be inserted into anchoring slots on the outside of liner channels for anchoring the liner by soil compaction. Elbow sections can be used to change the direction of flow of the liquid. Elbow sections are adjoined to a liner channel similar to the adjoinment of in series channel liners to result in a desired angle for the change in direction. | 11-12-2015 |

| 20090003933 | SPLASH BLOCK WITH DIFFUSER - A splash block having a trough and a diffuser arrangement for use in controlling water dispensed from a downspout of a home or building. The diffuser arrangement including a plurality of diffusing elements that displace a high flow of water produced from a heavy downpour in a random dispensing pattern to prevent erosion of the surrounding ground material. The diffuser arrangement also defining low-flow pathways that accommodate a low flow of water through the trough. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090097921 | Trench drain assembly - A trench drain assembly including a flow channel and a frame for supporting the channel in a trench. Sidewalls of the frame have a gradually increasing height between ends of the frame so that the frame creates a gradual slope for the assembly to properly drain. In addition, sidewalls of the frame include spaced lugs that extend outwardly and sidewalls of the channel include spaced lugs that extend inwardly to create an interference fit with the lugs of the frame so that the channel can be easily attached to the frame. During assembly, the frame is lowered onto the channel so that the lugs of the frame are received between the lugs of the channels and the frame is then slid with respect to the channel until the lugs of the frame are positioned below the lugs of the channel to secure the frame to the channel. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100226720 | LANDSCAPING CHANNEL LINER - A landscaping channel liner is provided that includes a longitudinally-extending trough having a longitudinally-extending floor located between opposed longitudinally-extending sidewalls extending therefrom. Attachment clips extend longitudinally on each of the sidewalls opposite the floor. Each attachment clip is configured to clasp onto an adjacent attachment clip to hold adjoining channel liners together. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110135392 | MODULAR, SCALABLE LIQUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - The present disclosure relates to a modular, scalable liquid management system. The disclosed system is modular in that it is assembled from a few primary components. The system is scalable because the primary components are adapted to be re-sized and combined to form a system as wide, deep, and/or long as needed. In various exemplary embodiments, the system is assembled from a plurality of base components and arm components that are tightly connected to form the liquid management system. To resist shifting or separation of system components, the liquid management system is firmly anchored to the ground at multiple locations throughout the system. | 06-09-2011 |
