Slope built into the run
Trench drain installation needs a clear fall toward the outlet. The trench, channel, and surrounding concrete are laid out so water actually moves.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from trench drain installation
Grates match crossing traffic
Pedestrians, cars, forklifts, and trucks all cross trench drains differently. Grate depth and frame support are selected around the crossing load.
Concrete locks the channel
The channel and frame need proper concrete support on both sides. Thin patch edges let the trench spread and grates rock under traffic.
Cleanouts included
Trench drains collect sediment, leaves, and washdown debris. Removable grate sections and outlet access are planned from the start.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your trench drain installation with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Trench Drain Installation
Trench Drain Installation is custom-fabricated or coordinated for parking lots, loading docks, ramps, parkades, washdown zones, exterior slabs, and service yards, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds trench drain installation around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using galvanized steel, powder-coat, stainless details, or heavier plate selected around corrosion and traffic exposure, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.

- 02 We come out, assess the site, take measurements, and confirm the scope.
- 03 We complete the trench drain installation on site, to the load and finish the job needs.
- 04 We install it, finish to grade, and clean up, one accountable crew, start to finish.
