Applications Of Sand Traps In Different Environments
In the systems installed for surface water drainage, there are different components which together serve to keep the entire system functional with efficiency. The sand trap is one such mechanism which is used in drainage and sewage systems. As the name suggests, this device is used to filter out the sand and other particle matter from flowing into the mains for discharge or recycling, as the purpose may be. Filtering out the sand serves to keep out the heavier particles and prevents blockages and flooding, which can be damaging to life and property. Sand traps are used in in a number of different places and networks, which are as follows: Sand traps are often installed in the drains which are part of the paved and unpaved road network of an area. These public area installations of the sand traps are made to ensure that any excess surface runoff on the pavements and the roads is not allowed to accumulate and drains off smoothly into the main sewer or drainage net
