HAURATON at the start by Formula 1 circuit
20 KM OF DRAINAGE CHANNEL FOR NEW FORMULA 1 CIRCUIT
BIGGEST ORDER IN COMPANY HISTORY“With more than 20 km of drainage channel, it is the biggest order in HAURATON's company history. Our customers are completely satisfied with our latest channel system, the RECYFIX®HICAP® type G channel, says delighted HAURATON Managing Director Marcus Reuter. The drainage system is innovative, almost revolutionary. It is the first system with a PE-PP channel body with a slotted cover made from extremely hard-wearing ductile iron that provides long-term reliability under extremely heavy loading. We are proud to be involved in such a prestigious project.
RECYFIX®HICAP® TYPE G: THE FIRST SLOTTED CHANNEL MADE FROM DUCTILE IRON
The
challenging racing circuit is being constructed over an area of 170
hectares, and will be 5.55 km long. The new channel system has been
specially developed for the special requirements of Formula 1 racing:
RECYFIX HICAP type G channel. The advantages of this first slotted
channel made from ductile iron with a PE-PP channel body were the
decisive criteria for the placement of the order. The drainage channels
can withstand extremely high levels of dynamic loading, and work in a
safe and reliable way. At the same time they must also tolerate the
tremendous suction force that is caused by the high speed of the racing
cars. The RECYFIX HICAP type G channels that are used on the racing
circuit do not just meet safety requirements, but also act as a waste
water channel along the circuit with their high level of hydraulic
performance. The channels take in surface water, transport it over long
distances and lead it to a point in the main water channel.
CHANNEL INSTALLATION HAS STARTED
The
construction work is progressing on a daily basis at the large
construction site. Not only is the route of the circuit becoming
apparent, but the buildings and the harbour facility are starting to
take shape. The laying of the first drainage channels on the long
straights between the “north and west grandstands” recently started on
the circuit. The construction companies on the site will be installing
more than 10 km of RECYFIX HICAP and a similar quantity of FASERFIX
SUPER during the coming months. Some of this will also be used as
temporary cable ducting. The installation situation has been specially
adapted to the special situation and the climatic conditions. HAURATON
specialists are accompanying the installation on site for some of the
time.
