Most importantly, with Marshalls, the optimum economical

drainage design can be readily achieved.
All Marshalls systems comply with the requirements,
of the appropriate standard; BS EN 9001, the Highway
Agency’s Specification for Highway Works together with the
requirements of British Standard, BS EN 1433:2002.
BS EN 1433:2002
Marshalls’ policy is to manufacture products that, as a
minimum requirement, comply with the relevant European,
British or Company Standard as appropriate.
Following the publication of any European Standard the

government recognises that there is a period whereby
manufacturers need to realign their product offer, quality

THE CASE FOR LINEAR DRAINAGE
THE CASE FOR LINEAR DRAINAGE
INTRODUCTION
The growing demand for more cost-effective and less
complicated drainage systems has led to modern linear
drainage becoming the preferred choice amongst specifiers
and contractors alike.
Marshalls’ unique linear drainage systems combine the

clear-cut advantages of linear drainage over traditional point
drainage, with the benefits of a high quality, robust precast
concrete product.

LINEAR DRAINAGE PRODUCT SELECTION PROCEDURE

The following pages describe the procedure for choosing
the most appropriate Marshalls linear drainage system for a
particular application.
Marshalls’ comprehensive range of drainage systems can be

split into three categories;
1. Combined Kerb and Drainage systems specifically
designed for kerbside use;
• Beany Block
• Mini Beany
2. Slot Drainage Systems designed primarily (though

not exclusively) for non-kerbside use;
• Max-E-Channel
• Marshalls Slot Drain
• Traffic Drain
• Landscape Drain
3. Grid Drainage Systems designed primarily (though

not exclusively) for non-kerbside use;
• Birco
The position of outfall, the area to be drained, topography

and rainfall intensity will each affect the final decision as to
which is the most appropriate system. However, there are two
fundamental factors which, more than any other, determine
which system is most appropriate;
• Location( i.e. kerbside or non-kerbside)
• Capacity

• Beany Block to the Beany Block section, page 21, to determine the
• Mini Beany appropriate system.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
The key deciding factor as to which combined kerb and
drainage system to specify will often be flow capacity.
The following procedure and graph can be used to determine
which of the two Marshalls systems is most appropriate:
Step 1 Determine gradient of the system
Step 2 Determine peak flow in the system
Step 3 Refer to graph Fig. 4 (below) to determine which is
the most appropriate system
EXAMPLE 1
For a combined kerb and drainage system, with a gradient of
1 in 100, where the calculated peak discharged is 54l/s. Fig. 3
shows that Mini Beany has a capacity of 66 l/s at a gradient of
1 in 100. Refer to the Mini Beany section, page 41, to
determine which of the Mini Beany systems to specify.

of the channel run. Less carrier pipes are used, resulting
in even greater cost savings. There will also be less

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
There are other aspects of linear drainage design beyond the
factors given above. These include:
INTRODUCTION
MAINTENANCE
All surface water collection and transport systems will require
maintenance to ensure efficient performance. Where linear
drainage is designed for shallow gradients due care must be
taken in the design for the effects of silting. Many systems
are kept free from silting by the action of fast flow, but HR
Wallingford’s research confirmed that velocities flows as low
as 0.4m/s “caused silt to move”.
EXISTING DRAINAGE
The location of existing drainage systems may often
determine the location of the linear drainage outfall. This may
or may not coincide with the most cost effective or efficient
linear drainage design.
GROUND LEVELS
Existing ground levels will determine low points and
gradients, particularly so for roads and highways. This can
mean that outfall locations are not determined by the
hydraulic design. Where the channel longitudinal gradients

SPECIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
SPECIFICATION
The following specification covers the complete Mini Beany
system including ancillary fittings and is compatible with the
Standard Detail Sheets.
Where the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works

is used, information for ‘Appendix 5/5: Combined Drainage
and Kerb systems’ is available on request.
MINI BEANY
1. The combined kerb and drainage system shall be Mini
Beany, manufactured in pre-cast concrete, with the
exception of certain fitments which are manufactured
in cast iron as supplied by Marshalls, Halifax HX5 9HT in
accordance with Standard Detail Sheets.
2. The combined kerb and drainage shall consist of a two
part system consisting of top blocks with a straight
backed half battered/straight backed 45º splayed* profile
together with constant depth base units that are
185/235/285/335/385mm* deep together with base units
with 1% inbuilt falls.* The overall width of the system shall
be not less than 250mm.
3. All components of the Mini Beany system shall comply
with the British Standard BS EN1433:2002, load
classification D400 and the following:
(i) The water inlet aperture shall increase in size towards
the inside of the unit with a minimum divergence
angle of 5o
(ii) The angle of incline of the water inlet aperture shall be
at least 30o to the horizontal
(iii) Water inlet apertures shall be wholly within individual
units and not within 100mm of the end of each unit
MINI BEANY®
(iv) When installed, the depth of construction from the top
of the base channels to the drained area surface shall be
not less than 100mm
(v) The Top Block shall have an Unpolished Skid Resistance
Value (USRV) in excess of 70 when tested in accordance
with BS 7263:Part 3
(vi) The system shall have a minimum of 12,850mm²/m
4. The combined kerb and drainage system comprising
straight top and base units, splay cut top and base units
for radius use, straight and radius cover plates, cable
duct blocks, outfalls, silt traps, junctions, access covers,
end caps, cap outlets and sealant shall be installed to the
line and levels indicated in the contract documents and
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and
Standard Details.
