Slotdrain - Complete Structural Integrity Elkington Gatic is committed to ensuring that all Gatic Slotdrain products are fit for purpose and can also be installed as an integral part of the surrounding surface materials, completely avoiding the use of separate components in their construction. To support this commitment, Gatic Slotdrain has been comprehensively load-tested and independently certified by the British Standards Institute (BSI). A complete set of standard construction details has also been created, encompassing the full range of Slotdrain types & sizes incorporated into every available option of standard surface materials. If the Slotdrain Integrated Design Software is used to design a drainage system, appropriate CAD or pdf drawings are automatically linked to each run forming part of the design. Alternatively, standard construction details are available in the Drawing Downloads section of the website. With the exception of the 500 & 600mm units in F900 locations, the concrete structure around Gatic Slotdrain does not require any additional reinforcement for the stated load ratings to be achieved. British Standards Institute (BSI) Test Certificates are available upon request. The Optimum Solution to Structural Integrity Gatic Slotdrain can be installed using the conventional method of laying the channels on a concrete bed and haunching around both sides. However, following a process of research and development involving a number of independent consulting structural engineers, several unique design features have been incorporated into the product with the specific objective of further enhancing the structural integrity of Gatic Slotdrain and its concrete surround, in particular Gatic UltraSlot in heavy and ultra heavy duty environments. |
