Drainage

Channel drainage materials commonly include recycled polypropylene composite, fibre-reinforced concrete, polymer concrete and stainless steel. Gratings, edge rails and covers may also be manufactured from ductile iron, galvanised steel, stainless steel or composite materials. The best option depends on more than the channel body alone. Traffic load, hydraulic capacity, chemical exposure, hygiene requirements, installation conditions, […]

The main types of channel drainage systems include grated channels, slot drains, monolithic channels, combined kerb drainage and shallow drainage systems. Each type collects surface water in a different way and is suited to different traffic, hydraulic and installation conditions. Channel drainage systems can also have a constant depth, stepped fall or built-in fall. Choosing

Channel drainage is a linear system that collects surface water along a continuous drainage line and directs it towards an outlet. Unlike a point drain, which collects water in one location, a channel drain can intercept runoff across a wider section of a driveway, patio, car park, road or industrial surface. When correctly designed and

Drainage gully is an essential component of any drainage system, and they play a crucial role in preventing water from pooling and flooding on your property. In Ireland, drainage gullies are required for new construction and renovation projects, and they must comply with regulations and standards set by the government. A drainage gully is a

Paverslot channel drainage combines effective surface water collection with a discreet architectural finish. Instead of a conventional visible grating, water enters through a narrow linear slot while most of the drainage system remains hidden below the finished surface. This makes slotted channel drainage particularly useful where paving design, accessibility and visual continuity are just as

Cleaning drainage systems regularly helps maintain an unrestricted flow area and reduces the risk of blockages caused by leaves, sediment, litter and other debris. As a general rule, channel drainage should be inspected and maintained at least once a year, preferably after winter. More frequent checks may be required in heavily trafficked areas or locations

Artificial turf pitches need more than effective surface drainage. Rainwater can also transport synthetic fibres and infill particles away from the playing surface and into downstream drainage networks. Artificial turf runoff filtration combines perimeter drainage with particle capture, helping intercept microplastics close to their source before collected water leaves the sports facility. How do microplastics

Microplastics in water are small plastic particles, generally less than 5 mm in size, that can enter rivers, groundwater and drainage networks from a wide range of sources. Some are intentionally manufactured at a microscopic size, while others are created when larger plastic products wear down or fragment. Road tyre wear, synthetic textiles and artificial

Recyfix channel drainage combines lightweight polypropylene channel bodies with efficient internal geometry designed to collect, retain and convey surface water. One important design consideration is whether a drainage run needs a built-in fall. In many applications, a constant-depth Recyfix channel can provide the required hydraulic performance without an internal gradient – provided the complete system

Progress that can be compared to changing the drawing board to a computer. Yes, that’s BIM revolution. HAURATON keeps up the pace.  Recognising a growing desire within the sector to gain the same advantages BIM offers construction projects, the BIM offering will cover products manufactured by Hauraton. BIM files are now available in REVIT for
