A drainage channel system for forming a trench is disclosed according to the present invention. The drainage channel system includes a number of precast drainage channel sections and one or more alignment keys for aligning and interlocking adjacent drainage channel sections. Each alignment key includes first and second opposed, inwardly facing jaw members shaped for longitudinally bridging across a predetermined exterior portion of adjacent first and second sidewalls, respectively, of adjacent drainage channel sections. Accordingly, each jaw member engages the predetermined exterior portions of the respective sidewalls to longitudinally interlock the drainage channel sections. In particular, each jaw member includes opposed clamping tabs having longitudinally opposed surfaces which apply a longitudinally compressive force to the adjacent drainage channel sections. In addition to longitudinally interlocking the adjacent drainage channel sections, the alignment key advantageously includes surfaces which substantially align the adjacent drainage channel sections both vertically and laterally.
Système de canal de drainage pour la formation de tranchées, comprenant des sections de canal prémoulées et un ou plusieurs dispositifs d'alignement permettant d'aligner et de verrouiller des sections de canal adjacentes. Chacun des dispositifs d'alignement comprend une première et une deuxième mâchoires d'accouplement opposées tournées vers l'intérieur et conçues pour combler longitudinalement la distance entre une partie externe spécifique située sur la première et la deuxième parois adjacentes de sections de canal adjacentes. Ainsi, chaque mâchoire d'alignement s'enclenche dans les parties externes des parois respectives afin de verrouiller longitudinalement les sections de canal de drainage. Chaque mâchoire comprend notamment des pattes d'ancrage opposées présentant des surfaces longitudinales opposées, qui serrent longitudinalement des sections de canal adjacentes. En plus de verrouiller longitudinalement les sections de canal, les dispositifs d'alignement sont munis de surfaces permettant essentiellement d'aligner les sections de canal adjacentes, à la fois verticalement et latéralement.
