The drainage solution for coastal sport environments

Sport drainage channels and Composite grating for humid environments

The Hercules Tower in La Coruña, Galicia, is not just any lighthouse. It is actually the only Roman lighthouse in existence and the oldest that is still in operation. And that's not all...

It is in a spectacular location, which is also home to La Torre Sport Centre, one of the most popular sports facilities in La Coruña.

In this particular case, where the football pitches are so close to the sea (barely 200m away), choosing the right material for the grating was also important, to prevent any rust issues due to the humid environment.

And we offered the perfect solution.

Sport drainage channels to guarantee a good fit

The channels from the Sport range are made from polymer concrete. The model we supplied was the D100, with rounded edges and a width of 155mm.

I already mentioned that they're designed for sports facilities, right? Well this is what I was referring to:

The rounded edges of the Sport channels are designed to prevent the artificial turf getting cut when the grating is fitted. But this little detail also enables us to better fit the channel and the turf together, fixing them properly in place.

On the Atlantic coast, the humidity level is around 80%. And to ensure that our channels last over time, it is important that the materials we use are adapted to the environment where they will be installed.

The solution was to install composite grating, so they don't rust over time due to water exposure.
