Always wear protective gear and observe safety precautions when installing the FastTrack system.
Plan/Excavate
Excavate a trench for the FastTrack, considering both load
class and slab thickness. All channels must be encased
on three sides with a minimum of 4" of concrete. For
slabs thicker than 4", encasement must be equal to slab
thickness. The engineer should determine slab thickness
Concrete encasement is required regardless of surface
type (concrete, asphalt, pavers, etc.).
Expansion joints will be needed on each side of the trench,
an expansion joint.

Layout Channels
Lay out the channels, in order, alongside the excavated
trench, starting with the deepest point and working back.
saw. Attach the end outlet with screws to the deep end
and the end cap on the shallow end. If using an end outlet,
outlet and pipe.
For Bottom Outlet: Using a hole saw, open the bottom
outlet in the deep end and install end caps on
both the deep and shallow ends.
Assemble Channels
Set channel sections in order into the trench. Beginning
at the outlet end, connect the channels together using
silicone sealant in the groove if desired.
If Using Iron Grate Frames: Remove the construction
covers and install iron grate frames. Reinstall the
construction covers in the frames.
Slide the construction covers (downstream) such that
they overlap the joint - this will help prevent misalignment
at the joints.
