Designers need to consider various factors when integrating drainage elements and service enclosures into these projects. The importance of these factors varies according to each unique application:

• Visual appeal – Are they to blend into, or be a feature of the pavement?
• Installation – How are they tied into a slab?
• User safety – Slip resistance, stability under wheel traffic
• Performance – Hydraulics, durability, load class
