<p>A dual containment channel for fluids comprises a plurality of channel segments arranged end-to-end to define a channel run of a predetermined desired length. Each channel segment comprises two spaced-apart opposing channel segment side walls connected by an integrally-formed bottom wall to define a generally U-shaped structure having a top opening and a void therein for carrying a fluid and a cover for being positioned between and supported by the side walls to enclose the open top of the channel run and retain any fluid within the channel. The channel run thereby serves as an outer containment channel. Supporting means are positioned in spaced-apart relation within the channel along its predetermined length for supporting at least one elongate, closed wall, fluid carrying conduit therein. Any fluid leaking from the conduit is contained within the outer containment channel for ease of removal. Any leaks in or damage to the conduit can be easily located and repaired by removing the cover. Any leaks in or damage to the outer containment channel can be repaired by replacing only that channel segment or segments which are actually damaged.</p> |
