ncreasing rainfall intensity and heavier traffic demands are placing growing pressure on drainage performance across infrastructure and civil engineering


projects.


In environments such as logistics hubs, ports and airports, systems must be capable of managing large water volumes quickly and reliably.


Developed by ULMA Architectural Solutions, the new F500 drainage channel range delivers one of the market’s highest hydraulic capacities currently available on the market.


With a width of 500 mm, the system provides a water intake area of 2,032 sq cm per linear metre, supporting efficient surface


water collection across large operational areas.


The 500 mm drainage channels are designed for high-flow, heavy-duty infrastructure applications. Depending on channel depth, the hydraulic cross-section reaches up to 3,140 sq cm, enabling the rapid evacuation of high water volumes


during peak flow conditions and extreme rainfall events.


Designed for heavy-duty infrastructure applications, the F500 system incorporates reinforced steel edge profiles engineered to withstand extreme loading conditions and axial stresses. The channels are available up to load class F900 in accordance with EN 1433.


Typical applications include logistics platforms, industrial sites, ports, airports and major transport infrastructure projects where hydraulic performance, durability and operational reliability are critical.
