Efficient rainwater management in the port of Ravenna

Darsena di San Vitale is a strategically important part of the port of Ravenna on the Italian Adriatic coast for shipping logistics and international vehicle exports. As a central hub for the export of European vehicles, especially to Asian markets, it combines efficient port infrastructure with optimal connections to the rail and road networks. To keep the areas for container handling, lorry and rail traffic permanently functional and safe for traffic, the high-performance RECYFIX HICAP system was chosen – a combination of drainage and retention in a single, resilient system.

Targeted drainage and effective retention of rainwater

With 2,208 metres of RECYFIX HICAP F channels in sizes 3000, 5000, 8000 and 10000, the system has an exceptionally high retention volume. This means that every metre of channel run not only safely drains rainwater, but also stores it in a targeted manner and releases it into the harbour canal system at a later stage. This was a decisive factor in the choice of system and is essential to avoid overloading the network during heavy rainfall.

The channels used combine high hydraulic capacity with robust construction, offering a low-maintenance solution for the long term. They actively contribute to sustainable rainwater management in the port area and make additional retention facilities unnecessary.

Security through consultation and precise implementation

The channels were laid in three runs across the site. They were positioned precisely to drain the entire area evenly while providing a large water reservoir.

The construction company carrying out the work was initially sceptical about the new system. However, intensive consultation and instruction from HAURATON ensured that installation was smooth and efficient. The final feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Two functions, one system – RECYFIX HICAP F in action

The RECYFIX HICAP F system combines drainage and retention in a single product. It is ideal for heavy-duty traffic areas such as container terminals or industrial sites where large quantities of water need to be drained quickly and in a controlled manner. The channels are made of corrosion-free, break-proof composite and are equipped with robust ductile iron slotted covers. Thanks to their compact design, they can be installed in a space-saving and economical manner.

  • High load capacity up to class F 900 – ideal for heavy-duty traffic and high usage

  • Large storage volume per metre – retention directly in the system

  • Reduced maintenance thanks to narrow slotted cover
