Service Area Drainage, what criteria must it meet

ULMA Architectural Solutions as Manufacturers

Service stations require a channel drain system that can withstand very heavy vehicles constantly manoeuvring and crossing over the drainage system at different points and all with varying load weight.

The Max Flow system: key to more efficient drainage

Kompaqdrain channels have a unique design, the inlet openings have a curvature that widens at the bottom.

We call it the Max Flow effect; optimising and improving water collection thus harnesses its falling energy to increase the channel's drainage capacity. 

This characteristic was key when selecting the Kompaqdrain channels for the project, given that hydraulic efficiency is essential.

Single-piece drainage: guaranteed safety
The grating and channel manufactured as a single piece in a material that is highly resistant to abrasion and impact: polymer concrete – Our Monolythic system is highly recommended in these areas for its uncompromising safety and durability.

In total, our customer installed more than 100 linear metres of Kompaqdrain in varying widths aided by the expertise and knowledge of our technical team who designed this project in record time providing a safe and exceptional solution. 

If you need an efficient, safe drainage system too, please contact us.
