Gas Station Drainage

Drains for Fueling Stations

There is a multitude of variables to consider when planning drainage systems for gas station facilities. Not only do you need to redirect stormwater away from the building, but you also have to be mindful of the chemical wastes that contaminate the runoff as it finds its way to the drainage system.

Weight loads for vehicles of all shapes and sizes will need to be considered for the traffic that visits the station for refueling.

Trench drain systems near the building can capture rainfall and prevent pooling and flooding water. In this instance, pedestrian traffic may require you to use ADA-compliant and heel-proof grates for walkways.

It will be necessary to clean the drain from time to time so getting to it will need to be planned as well.
