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.

    Hydro International’s innovative First Defense vortex separator is now available for the first time in the UK, in response to the growing need for economical surface water treatment on highways, car parks and new developments. Already well-established and proven in the U.S., First Defense uses a gentle vortex action to remove coarse particles, litter and oil from surface water runoff – a requirement which will become increasingly important due to growing regulation for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
