Urban Planning for Smart Cities with Professional Drainage Channels

Smart cities offers a variety of challenges for surface water drainage. New commercial construction projects in Asia, such as shopping centres and supermarkets, are often integrated with office and commercial buildings as well as parking facilities. Due to the complexity and arrangement of these areas, choosing the right drainage system is crucial.

Safe and aesthetic drainage solutions for smart cities in Asia

Drainage systems for smart cities are heavily frequented by a large number of vehicles and pedestrians every day. The trench drains must therefore be particularly stable and resistant to environmental influences. At the same time, the aesthetics of the system are extremely important so that it can blend in seamlessly with the corresponding surface covering.

Public space drainage systems

With long-established experience and expertise in the field of surface drainage, we are by your side every step of the way. Whether you require a city drainage channel for a shopping centre or drainage for a petrol station, we’ll ensure you have the right drainage solution for your project.

Drainage requirements for commercial areas

Shopping centres, supermarkets and office buildings can cover a variety of different application areas from car parks to pedestrian surfaces. Commercial drainage systems have to overcome different challenges when installed within these areas:

Pedestrian zones

Channels in public areas often have not only functional but also aesthetic requirements. By choosing trench drains with appealing colours, decorative details, special materials or slotted channels, the drainage systems can blend discreetly and elegantly into the appropriate surface. Narrow slots and multiple bolt fittings ensure safety and protect against injuries and vandalism.

Parking areas

There are a number of requirements for the drainage of car parks. Heavy or frequent traffic with high loads, dynamic forces, corrosive materials and installation depth limitations are just some of the factors that need to be considered:

  • Car park drainage channels must be stable and robust to withstand a variety of loads and forces

  • A safe environment for pedestrians requires systems with non-slip surfaces

  • The catchment area must be determined by a precise and accurate hydraulic calculation

  • Protection of the trench drains against theft and vandalism through bolted connections or locking handles

  • The correct drainage channels must be selected to prevent water from overflowing, especially in the case of underground ramps with steep slopes

Petrol stations

Supermarkets and shopping centres often have their own adjoining petrol stations. Their forecourts are frequently used by cars, delivery vans and tankers. Drainage channels for petrol stations must therefore be robust and durable in order to withstand the different traffic loads. The drainage system should not only provide efficient surface drainage, but also protect the area from fuel spills.

Depots for delivery of goods

Shopping centres and supermarkets receive transported goods from their regional distribution centres. They therefore usually have their own depots for unloading goods.

The depots are regularly used by heavy goods vehicles and forklift trucks. To withstand the high loads and dynamic forces acting on the drainage system, a heavy-duty channel should be chosen.
