New gully grates from Saint-Gobain PAM offer improved performance

5475 Saint-Gobain PAM UK is broadening its range of high performance gully grates.

The Watershed products are designed to cope with increased traffic loadings and offer better whole-life costing than earlier generation products according to the firm.

Manufactured in the UK from 97% recycled materials, the ductile iron Watershed grate is easy to maintain and features a prising slot for quick opening and hinged action. The wedged seat design means that it will not rock from side to side when in place, while a captive hinge is said to allow for fast and easy access, as well as reducing the risk of theft.

A large water area helps clear surface water quickly and the latest additions to the range include clear openings of 600x400mm and 500x360mm with left or right-hand opening variants.

    A variety of systems are available for quickly and efficiently removing water from roads as Patrick Smith reports The presence of water in a highway layer reduces the bearing capacity of the road, and in doing so it also reduces the structure's lifetime. Indeed, the recent extremely cold winter in many parts of Europe has shown that in colder climates there is a risk of frost damage when water is present resulting in costly potholes, so drainage systems performing properly are important in road design.
