Requirements for rainwater management
The rainwater management systems used must be able to withstand the specific challenges posed by these areas, which are characterised by heavy-duty use.
Reach stackers, which can generate an axle load of up to 100 tonnes, are often used for handling goods. The manoeuvring of containers exerts immense dynamic forces on the heavy-duty channels installed in the floor.
At every port or container terminal, the frequency with which the channels are driven over varies. It is therefore particularly important to take these conditions into account from as early as the planning stage.
Operational areas can be exposed to water-polluting substances such as fuels, oils and other materials used during day-to-day activities. In the event of spills or accidents, these substances must be prevented from entering the soil, groundwater or nearby water bodies.
Rainwater management systems therefore need to support the safe collection and treatment of runoff from operational areas. The specific requirements depend on site conditions, operational processes and applicable environmental regulations.
Channel drainage installed in cargo ports can often be exposed to a range of corrosive elements such as saline conditions, ground sulphates, high humidity, extreme temperatures, strong UV radiation, sand abrasion, hydrocarbon fuels, loose raw materials and much more.
Drainage systems for ports and container terminals must have solutions that are designed with materials with a high level of resistance to corrosives.
A comprehensive rainwater management concept takes into account the scheduled maintenance work and refurbishments right from the initial phase of a project. This is the only way to ensure long-term, reliable operation.
What does optimal rainwater management look like for container terminals and ports?
The key lies in the interplay between expert advice and the selection of the right product. Every container terminal and every port is unique in terms of its design and use. It is therefore essential to approach each project in a specific and comprehensive manner.
