Water collection channel FerroMax

It is a known problem that tends to affect traffic or residential areas in urban spaces: more and more ground surface areas are being sealed as a result of building development, concreting, asphalting and paving. During times of heavy rainfall, these sealed surfaces are prone to risks such as flooding, as the required level of water permeability is no longer guaranteed. This has led to a growing demand among construction projects for solutions that counterbalance the limited or entirely prevented drainage capacity of these areas.

Our “FerroMax” satisfies precisely these demands. The XXL water collection channel, made from either hot-dip galvanised steel or stainless steel, is ideal for quickly collecting large volumes of precipitation. The solution first temporarily stores the water inside the channel body before feeding it into the sewer system, gradually and in a controlled manner, via drain nozzles. This effectively prevents the system from becoming overloaded.

The frames, which also act as grating supports, are made from 4mm-thick material. The 2mm-thick base feet facilitate the alignment of the channels during installation while also serving as concrete anchors to ensure the channels are firmly secured to the substrate. Connection braces between the frames provide additional stability.
Depending on the type of construction and size of the project, the “FerroMax” is available in a variety of dimensions. It comes in a standard length of 1,000 mm. With overall widths of between 388 mm (DN 300) and 1,088 mm (DN 1000) as well as installation heights of between 380 mm and 1,130 mm, the channel offers a storage capacity ranging from 102 litres to 900 litres per running metre. We are also happy to adapt the width and height to meet customer specifications. The entire system is designed with load classes D 400 to E 600 in mind, with the actual class depending on the concrete foundation properties and the grating chosen to cover the water collection channel.
