The Safe Drain® is custom made from stainless steel and other corrosive-resistant materials to fit into any standard or non-standard storm drain inlet specified by the customer. Once installed there is no need to a special grate and the inlet’s original grate can be re-used.
The Safe Drain® is a patented product (Patent Numbers: 5,383,745; 5,582,720; 5,728,294) and is protected by other patents and patents pending.

Spill ContainmentWhen closed the Safe Drain® stops and holds discharges, preventing them from entering the storm water drainage inlet in which it is installed, and allowing the discharged materials to be easily reclaimed for disposal or recycling. Sediment/Erosion & Trash ControlOpened or closed, the Safe Drain® can remove much of the sediment or trash found in runoff through a natural filtering action. It can also be fitted with a filter to further improve the amount of material it removes from run-off. Construction Site Runoff & Flow ControlThe Safe Drain® can be used to regulate the volume of water flowing into a Storm Drain, allowing more time for sediments to settle out while preventing flooding. Hydrocarbon Capture & RemovalFitted with a hydrocarbon filter the Safe Drain® can remove oil and grease from runoff while allowing large volumes of water to flow without back-ups. Illicit Discharge Identification & EliminationWith the ability to stop illicit discharges at or near their source the Safe Drain® can be used to identify where discharges are coming from and help put a stop to any further such discharges. Accurate Pollution Abatement AnalysisBy collecting and holding sediments and chemical discharges the Safe Drain® provides a means of gathering data on the amount and types of pollutants found in an area. |
