NORTHSTAR Industries is the North American master distributor of MEA trench drain, Iron Age Decorative Grates, Richard Brink Stainless Steel trench drain, and many more drainage products. Specializing in pre-fabricated polymer concrete trench drain systems, built for applications in many different settings, from pedestrian to heavy equipment.
The drainage channels in the MEADRAIN EN and ENS series are designed for very heavy loads. MEADRAIN EN and ENS drainage channels have a cast iron frame with an L-shaped or Z-shaped edge respectively. These high-performance channels therefore combine the low weight of polymer concrete with a reinforced design that is suitable for all loading classes up to F 900.
The MEADRAIN EN and ENS systems were developed as a drainage solution for particularly challenging environments like airports, railway stations, cargo areas, ports and industrial buildings. These high-quality drainage channels provide an extremely long lifespan as well as high resistance to chemical substances, salt and acids.
Product Advantages:
MEADRAIN EN and ENS drainage channels can be supplied with an extensive range of accessories such as silt boxes and end caps.

Many MEA gratings can be locked inside the drainage channel body for even more safety in higher loading classes. The 4-point-bolted locking system offers for the MEADRAIN EN/ENS the maximum of security and therefore also provides protection against vandalism. It is perfect for high-traffic, heavily used areas.
The MEADRAIN S system of polymer concrete channels are the perfect all-rounder. Thanks to steel reinforced edges and the longitudinal grating securement feature, the drainage system can be used for almost any project, offering maximal planing safety and drainage performance on site.
The MEADRAIN S drainage system is perfectly suited for pedestrian zones as for industrial areas with heavy duty traffic. The 4 mm galvanized steel (or stainless steel) reinforced edges and the particularly stable design of the channels allow them to be used in harbours, container terminals, or in highly frequented public and private areas.
The MEADRAIN DM system was developed to meet the special cross drainage requirements of roads and motorways. Four criteria must be satisfied to ensure that roads / motorways are optimally drained:
MEADRAIN DM drainage channels have a monolithic design. MEADRAIN DM solutions are lightweight to enable quick installation at the construction site. Thanks to their one-piece design, they are very easy to install and have an exceptionally long lifespan. The combination of these characteristics and the low maintenance costs means these drainage channels are true champions in terms of efficiency and affordability. The MEADRAIN DM system complies with even the highest building requirements and is suitable for all loading classes up to F 900.
ANRIN reinforced edge systems is made of resin concrete. The material comprised of naturally occurring mineral quartzes and resin is distinguished by its structural and environmental benefits. In comparison with conventional, cement-bound materials, resin concrete allows for unit weights which are much easier to handle. By processing the material on the construction site, time and money are saved. The high quality of the individual components as well as the closed material matrix make the ANRIN resin concrete watertight and highly resistant to corrosion as well as a number of substances. As a result, surfaces can be designed which purposefully drain off rainwater and the ground water can be reliably protected against environmental pollution.
With ANRIN drainage systems, accumulating rainwater should be drained safely and quickly. Moreover, the structural elements have the task of accommodating dynamic loads arising from traffic-related demands and dispersing them to the area of the foundation.
ANRIN is a competent and innovative partner for effective drainage engineering of sports grounds for more than 40 years. For the increasing number of arenas with equal-level playing fields, the ANRIN SPORT drainage system NW125 slotted channel was developed. This system guarantees a high degree of variability in relation to various facility areas. The avoidance of tripping edges increases the convenience of use and simplifies care.
