HEL-COR®
BENIFIT
Adjustments for length can be made by overlapping additional corrugations to make up site specific custom run lengths.
STEEL CORRUGATIONS
HEL-COR® 2 ²/3 x ½ ( Gages 12 or 14)
LENGTH
10-foot standard
DIAMETER
8-inch half round
DETAIL
Standard pan lengths are 10’ long. Deck Drain can also be asphalt coated. The end corrugations are overlapped in the field for the connection.
SPECIAL DECK DRAIN SIZES
Special Deck Drain spans are available in 12”, 15”, and 18” half round with lengths of 24” long after overlap. The perforation pattern is different than the standard 8” perforation pattern. Contact your local Contech Sales Engineer for drawings and specifications.
DESIGN
HEL-COR® Deck Drain covers are manufactured with 8” half-round corrugated metal spans in 12-gage, 14-gage, or 16-gage galvanized steel that are 24” long after overlap.
HEL-COR® DECK DRAIN IS IDEAL FOR
- Collecting and transporting water off of a railroad bridge
- Addressing ponding issues on railroad ballast trough-style bridges
- Addressing ponding issues for heavy cargo railroads or light passenger railways
EFFICIENT SYSTEM
HEL-COR Deck Drain is a perforated drain system used in the construction of railroad bridges. This efficient system utilizes half-round perforated corrugated steel covers with a steel plate bottom to drain the ballast at the bottom of the railroad bridge.
MANUFACTURE
Steel is used to manufacture Deck Drain because of its superior strength and long-term durability compared to plastic drain products. Contech® Deck Drain is a proven solution and has been used in railroad bridge construction for decades.
COATINGS
- Galvanized
- Asphalt Coated
DESIGN
Bridges are often designed from zero to very minimal gradients, and designers must also mitigate the water from ponding and running off the ends of the bridge. Railroad bridges are constructed with ballast instead of pavement, and Contech Deck Drain is used to collect and transport water off of the bridge.
FEATURES
DECK DRAIN OUTLET
Deck Drain covers for the outlet sections can be made from solid or perforated steel. 14-gage end bulkheads are attached at the end of the deck drain outlet. Outlet pipe diameters are 8” diameter or less

STANDARD DECK DRAIN
Deck Drain corrugated covers are made up of 8” half round span in 12-gage, 14-gage, or 16-gage galvanized steel, 24” long after overlap. 14-gage is the most popular thickness.
The bottom pan is made from 12-gage galvanized steel. Standard pan lengths are 10’ long. The galvanized Deck Drain can also be asphalt coated
Deck Drain covers are available is 2’ long lengths. The end corrugations are simply overlapped in the field for the connection. Adjustments for length can be made up by overlapping additional corrugations to make up site specific non-standard run lengths.
