RELIABLE DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS FOR


U


lma Architectural drainage solutions are frequently specified for use in areas of high vehicular traffic, like petrol stations, which require drainage systems designed to withstand heavy traffic, hydrocarbons and demanding forecourt conditions. Petrol station forecourts place particularly high demands on surface drainage systems. Continuous vehicle traffic, braking, tight manoeuvres and acceleration generate repeated mechanical and axial stresses, while regular exposure to petrol, diesel and lubricating oils requires materials with high chemical resistance.


Selecting the right drainage system is


PETROL STATIONS Areas of high vehicular traffic require drainage systems designed to withstand demanding conditions. Ulma Architectural solutions can help.


therefore essential to ensure long-term durability, operational safety and reliable surface water management. Polymer concrete drainage channels provide high mechanical strength and excellent resistance to hydrocarbons and aggressive substances, making them particularly well suited to these demanding environments.


ULMA Architectural Solutions offers different drainage solutions depending on the specific requirements of each area, including CIVIL-S for projects with restricted installation depth, CIVIL-F for higher hydraulic capacity requirements and KOMPAQDRAIN monolithic channels for


areas exposed to continuous heavy vehicle traffic.


To make specification easier, ULMA has developed a practical Quick Spec Guide for petrol stations, helping identify the most suitable drainage solution for different project requirements. BMJ
