In order to ensure the long-term and sustainable functionality of rainwater management systems, the installation should already be considered when selecting the system.
The project-specific requirements are first analysed, suitable rainwater management systems are selected based on the required load class and hydraulic performance calculation, and the integration into existing infrastructures is ensured.
Helpful documents in this phase are installation advice and installation examples.
Our installation advice and installation examples are general recommendations based on many years of experience and research. Local conditions, regulations and guidelines must be considered during installation.
You can find the installation advice and installation examples directly on the respective product detail page under installation details. You can find an example of the FASERFIX SUPER 100 here.
Correct installation is crucial to ensure optimum and long-term functionality of the systems. On the HAURATON YouTube channel you will find numerous installation & processing videos with helpful tips.
Maintenance ensures that the systems work efficiently even in changing weather conditions and long-term use. In addition to general instructions, we also provide further recommendations for specific climatic conditions.
To ensure a high hydraulic performance, a permanently unobstructed drainage cross-section is necessary. Regular care and maintenance of drainage systems is therefore essential. Dirt and other debris (e.g. cigarette butts, stones in the grating) should be detected and removed.
HAURATON recommends checking and maintaining drainage systems at least once a calendar year – preferably after the winter months – along the entire length of the channel. The frequency depends above all on the load, load frequency and local conditions (e.g. use of de-icing salt, sweeping, ingress of solid materials).
Maintenance includes:
In some regions of the world, such as the Middle East, there are months with very little rainfall.
Rainwater management systems are not sufficiently flushed with water or filled completely with water often enough when they are used for retention.
In these cases, HAURATON recommends checking the system regularly throughout the year for the degree of sediment accumulation and flushing with water if necessary.
In cold climates, temperatures can reach well below freezing. Under such conditions, de-icing solutions should be used to keep the rainwater management systems free of snow and ice. When choosing a de-icing agent, please follow our recommendation.
After heavy snowfall, the pavement surfaces should be cleared of snow using suitable equipment. A visual inspection along the entire length of the channel system should be carried out regularly to ensure that the gratings with narrow openings (perforated grating, mesh grating, slotted gratings) are not blocked by snow and ice. If localised blockages occur, these should be removed using suitable tools and equipment.
Installation examples can be found on the respective product detail pages, e.g. here for item 26000.
Installation advice can also be found directly under the product, on the so-called product detail pages, e.g. here for item 26000.

A superficial visual inspection can be carried out with the naked eye. Superficial, light debris (e.g. cigarette butts) can be removed with a broom. You should use an inspection camera to visually check for any sediment in the channel base and, if necessary, flush the channel run in the direction of the sump unit.

HAURATON drainage channels can be shortened to length as required. This does not affect the stability. When shortening, however, it must be ensured that the fixing points (screws/SIDE-LOCK springs/locking mechanism) for the gratings are retained.
