The present invention relates to drainage systems. In particular, the invention relates to trench drains able to be embedded in the ground, comprising: two substantially parallel frames formed from a plurality of bars of L-shaped cross-section arranged in two substantially parallel lines, the bars being arranged with vertical portions extending upwards from horizontal portions, the horizontal portions of each parallel line of bars facing inwards towards each other; a trough suspended below the frames and coupled thereto such that the horizontal portions of the frames extend inwards from inner surfaces of the trough to form two lips; a grate spanning between the frames and supported by the upper side of the horizontal portion of each frame; and at least one clip having a first portion extending over a part of the grate and further portions extending under the two lips to hold the grate in position. The invention also relates to a method of forming the said drainage system. Figure 1
