Driveway Trench Drain Replacement - are these fake?

I just removed grates to clean out leaves and found this surprise…. It’s just concrete on the bottom with plastic supports as sidewalls and a grate on top. Does the existing setup make sense? I wanted to install low profile trench drains to fit the opening in concrete. I need about 50 linear feet. Any recommendations for a brand to withstand light traffic (car goes over each one few times a day). I was told that I need to make wider cut and install a drain within concrete only and the current setup won’t work. submitted by /u/east_two_west [link] [comments]
