When dark clouds gathered in the sky and heavy rainfall caused large amounts of rain to collect on the street, business people and residents in and around Eldestraße were worried. All too often, the sewage system was overwhelmed, causing surface water to enter business premises and homes. Since the beginning of the year, the situation has been remedied by a new linear drainage system, which was installed in parts of Mühlenstraße and along the entire length of Eldestraße. The dimensioning of the installed drainage channel MAXI PRO plays an essential role. Depending on the hydraulic performance requirements, channel elements with a nominal width of 300 mm and an overall height of 400 mm were provided.

With a drainage capacity of up to approx. 80 l/s, the system is able to absorb and quickly drain large volumes of water. Further advantages of the channel system are the integrated damping insert, which ensures less wear and tear on the cast parts and guarantees a steady position of the grating, as well as the locking system that lock the grating and the channel body firmly together. The locking protection caps provide additional shift protection for the screws and protection against dirt. In addition, the 5 mm edge protection made of ductile cast iron guarantees maximum stability.
