Drainage systems

This aesthetic grating has been chosen for the MÉCA, the new cultural centre in the French region of Aquitania. This spectacular building has become an emblem for the city of Bordeaux. This discrete and uncomplicated single slot grating means that it goes unnoticed, making it ideal for places where the drainage solution must not be evident so as not to take away from the beauty of the surroundings, but without losing sight of correct rainwater drainage. Civil F system drainage channels have been supplied for heavy load classes F250K and F300K with the D400 single slot grating and multi V system for intermediate loads with an optimised V-shaped section combined with the D400 single slot grating.
