Novel drainage solution from REHAU

A novel drainage solution called the RAUSIKKO high load box system has been developed by REHAU. This system allows rainater to drain away to a separate spot rather into the localised area. The system can be used in applications with space constraints and suits duties in the parking areas and access roads around buildings. The system can be covered over with a road surface and then is strong enough to handle the passage of heavy vehicles. The idea of the system is to prevent flooding close to buildin

A novel drainage solution called the RAUSIKKO high load box system has been developed by REHAU.

This system allows rainater to drain away to a separate spot rather into the localised area. The system can be used in applications with space constraints and suits duties in the parking areas and access roads around buildings. The system can be covered over with a road surface and then is strong enough to handle the passage of heavy vehicles.

The idea of the system is to prevent flooding close to buildings and allowing the water to be carried away elsewhere to a point where it can be disposed of without problems. The units can be laid in a trench, lined with a geomembrane and even in the event of heavy rainfall, will allow the water to be contained and channelled safely away.

    Naue Geosynthetics says its Secugrid offers a solution for a host of ground preparation problems, and for use in reinforced retaining walls. Secugrid is a geogrid made from extruded monolithic flat bars with welded junctions, for soil reinforcement in earth, landfill and road construction as well as in hydraulic engineering applications. Among its benefits are said to be its high strength and low elongation thanks to the extruded elements.

    The latest developments in asphalt compaction equipment will help boost productivity and finish quality. The new generation compactors can utilise the latest generation machine control tools to deliver quality within the short timeframe determined by the asphalt temperature. Ammann has broadened its asphalt compaction range with the addition of the new ARP 95 K pivot-steer roller and the articulated ARX 90 and ARX 26 models. These units are available with Ammann’s proprietary ACE compaction systems to optim

    Transport infrastructure is taken for granted in many, if not most, developed countries. This has resulted in a shortage of investment in maintenance, posing potential long term cost issues. In many developing nations transport networks are expanding fast, but insufficient thought is also being given to how these will be maintained.
