Channel Drains are continuous trench-style channels fabricated to capture and convey surface runoff along a linear path. In Lindsay, The Grate Guys makes channel drains to spec: measured, built, and finished for the real conditions.
Lindsay channel drains work centres on parking lots, driveways, and wash bays. The recurring drivers are sheet-flow control, ponding, and linear water capture — each Lindsay order is scoped to its own situation rather than a standard package.
What drives channel drains in Lindsay (City of Kawartha Lakes) is manufacturing, steel and metal products, woodworking and consumer products, agri-business and food processing, automotive components. Most of it sits around Lindsay industrial park, Mary Street / Highway 7 employment area, Kawartha Lakes business and economic lands. The area's anchors, including Crayola Canada, Armada Toolworks, Kawartha Dairy, Cameron Steel Inc., Kawartha Lakes Farm Service (industrial machinery), shape the kind of work Lindsay needs: load-rated, code-documented, and built for hard use.

Lindsay is the manufacturing hub of Kawartha Lakes, home to Crayola Canada, Armada Toolworks, Kawartha Dairy and Cameron Steel, with a new industrial park drawing GTA relocations; the steel, woodworking and farm-equipment base drives heavy weldments, equipment platforms and galvanized structural fabrication.

What shapes a Lindsay order is lower land and labour costs attract relocating GTA manufacturers needing greenfield plant fab, agricultural-equipment base drives heavy weldment and repair work, rural service area favours durable galvanized exterior steel.
