workshop drainage channel


Explanation:
Oficina é um termo genérico. Se for uma oficina de carro seria Automotive Repair Shop

Drainage channels are used to carry surface water during the rainy season. This water can be from driveways, roof gutters or even surface run off from the landscaped garden. The drain takes this water to the main sewer system or collection point. This can be made using inverted block drains, molded concrete and masonry. The surface water system in a yard should be safe to avoid injury. This drains can be open or covered. The safest system is covered.
