When planning the modern plant site, those responsible had to take into account, among many other aspects, the issue of drainage in particular and decided on a near-natural concept. The focus here is on both safe drainage and the return of the precious water to the natural water cycle. The surface water collected and drained by drainage channels is collected in a large pond on the company premises, from where it can slowly seep into the ground and also provide a habitat for many small animals. When the question arose as to the most suitable drainage channels for the large area, on which many heavy transport vehicles travel every day, the choice fell on the Hydrotec drainage systems HYDROblock® and MAXI. They combine several positive properties for installation in heavily loaded large areas.

Due to the material EN-GJS -500 (ductile cast iron), the channel system also has significant advantages over other materials in terms of material fatigue, especially in the heavy load range. The monolithic channel bodies are predestined for high loads, even with transverse overtravel. The robust system can be used up to load class F 900 according to DIN EN 1433. Matching inspection elements allow easy maintenance and cleaning.

Another advantage of the elements is their ease of installation. Thanks to the push-fit socket system, the drainage channel can be connected like a pipe by spigot end and socket. This allows full compatibility with standard KG pipes. The integrated NBR socket seal at the channel joint ensures the tightness of the channel system even in case of possible settlements. Thanks to the sophisticated design, the HYDROblock® drainage channel can be paved, concreted or asphalted directly, regardless of the load class.
