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.

    Breining says that it is developing an innovating solution for slurry micro surfacing applications. Its new machine is said to be a modern solution to road maintenance needs, increasing the capacity of existing equipment. The firm has developed a new loading system for use with its slurry pavers as well as its Novasealers. This is said to allow a continuous flow into the machines carrying out slurry paving work, providing a higher quality finish. The unit also does away with the need for an overload truck

    An innovative combined road and drainage tunnel is being proposed for Indonesia’s capital Jakarta. A study is underway at the moment for this novel integrated tunnel project, which is expected to cost in the region of US$1.88 billion. Work is due to commence during 2015, with the initial phase of the construction being carried out by Antaredja Mulia Jaya. The project is calling for two 12km tunnels that will help alleviate flooding in the city during periods of high rainfall as well as featuring a road. The
