Drainage channels for ports
Durability and easy installation
Today we're travelling to the French coast, to one of the oldest ports in the country.
We're talking about the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Port, which is 3000 years old.
A long time ago, 3000 years in fact.
The project we worked on is located in a part of the Nantes Port that is used for unloading materials for recycling. As you can see in the photos, the ships are unloaded by cranes; but while the cranes don't cross over the channels, the trucks do.
That's why we supplied F250 channels with grating for load classes of up to F900, and we installed more than 100 LM for this solution.
Ports are highly demanding areas, both for the volume of traffic and for the salt levels in the environment
That's why, for these environments, we recommend installing drainage channels from the CIVIL range, for heavy loads.
Why? Because the entire range has been specially designed for sections where drainage systems have to withstand heavy loads. To achieve this, the channels have a system for locking the grating to the channel by means of 8 screws per linear metre.
