Coordinating Wheel Stops with Parking Drainage
Wheel stop positions should be coordinated with the parking drainage layout before fixing. The review should identify water paths and access to outlets, rather than assuming that a standard bay position works everywhere.
Selection considerations
Overlay the parking accessory layout with falls, drains and maintenance access. Survey the actual surface at the proposed location. Keep the approved vehicle positioning requirement attached to the review; drainage coordination should not lead to an unapproved change in parking geometry.
Ask the relevant designers to resolve any conflict between the wheel stop, outlet and proposed fixing zone. The catalogue identifies the product, but it does not establish the drainage performance of the complete bay. Do not cut channels or alter the rubber profile to solve a site issue without approval.
Record the agreed position and inspect it against the coordinated layout before the bay opens. Retain the drainage interface in the maintenance record so later resurfacing or wheel stop replacement can be reviewed using the same references.

Common question
Can a wheel stop be shifted solely to avoid a drain?
Only through the relevant layout review, because vehicle positioning and other parking requirements still need to be maintained.
