Flexible and economical approach

An efficient surface drainage was required for the external areas of this extremely busy distribution unit. The applications were varied, with large car parking areas, entrance roads and busy delivery and service areas. A flexible approach was required in considering efficient and cost-effective drainage solutions.

Colin Taff, regional project manager of HAURATON, proposed the RECYFIX HICAP drainage channel system for the large concrete surface service areas. This gave a cost-effective, durable solution for areas that would be subjected to heavy and dynamic vehicles.

KERBFIX kerb drainage solution was chosen for the entrance roads and sections of the car parks.

KERBFIX

KERBFIX combined kerb and drainage system was chosen for the entrance roads and sections of the car parks.

Hydraulic analysis

KERBFIX channel sizes were calculated using HAURATON’s design software package.

With a load rating up to F 900, the RECYFIX HICAP system brought the following benefits to the project:

Pre-assembled, lightweight and compact channel units for quick and easy installation on site
Channel body in modified Polypropylene (PP) composite for high impact/corrosion resistance
Heavy-duty slotted tops made from high quality spheroid ductile iron GGG-50 for system strength and durability
*GGG-50 has 23 times more tensile strength and 9 times more compressive strength than polymer concrete
Gratings mechanically fixed to the throat unit for enhanced security and performance

KERBFIX brought the following benefits to the project:

Lightweight products for fast and easy installation as well as efficient transport (7kg for standard units)
Smooth inner surface and large volume for high hydraulic performance
Robust and sustainable material which is recycled and recyclable
Access unit and gully outfall made of ductile iron, robust access for easy maintenance
Easy processing on-site: cut to shape and size with hand tools
Complies with EN 1433, load class D 400 and CE marked
