Concrete drainage channels FILCOTEN

The drainage channel offers the excellent properties of FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) and complements it with additional safety aspects. The anchoring pockets on the sides of the linear gutter ensure a secure hold in the concrete bed. Due to the special construction of the galvanized steel, cast iron or stainless steel frames, the gratings can be attached easily and safely. Adjacent cover surfaces can be optimally attached to the side of the edge profile. In the BG-FILCOTEN® series, the linear gutter is also available with a lower total height. The system can withstand loads up to class F 900 (according to EN 1433).

Building materials

The high-quality concrete FILCOTEN® HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a material that combines excellent technical properties with durability. The optimized high-density structure of the HPC allows the construction of drainage channels in a very stable lightweight construction - but what makes it unique is the idea behind it. The idea is unique - the result is revolutionary. The engineers wanted to create a linear gutter that combines two extremes: maximum performance and minimum impact on the environment. Thanks to intensive development work, they have achieved their goal. Line gutter FILCOTEN® HPC unites this contrast and is therefore unique on the market.

Filcoten concrete is the material of the future

Filcoten concrete is the material of the future when it comes to drains. This is due to the many benefits it offers. It is extremely strong and stable, so it lasts a long time and requires little maintenance. In addition, Filcoten concrete is resistant to chemicals and extreme temperatures, making it also suitable for industrial applications. Another big advantage of Filcoten concrete is that it is easy to install. This saves time and money during the construction of, for example, a road or parking lot. It also has good water drainage, which is important to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall. Finally, Filcoten concrete is versatile in use. For example, it can be used in various situations, such as the drainage of a terrace or street. There is also the option of installing a concrete gutter with grille, which ensures a beautiful finish and extra safety. All in all, Filcoten concrete is therefore an excellent choice when it comes to drains. The strong properties, good water drainage and versatility make it a material that will only be used more in the future.

Excellent technical properties combined with durability.

An important feature of FILCOTEN® HPC is that it is UV resistant. As a result, the color of the concrete will not change due to exposure to the sun. This ensures that the drain channel always looks neat and tidy. In addition, the concrete has a long service life. The material is resistant to weather influences and will not wear or damage quickly. As a result, the drainage gutter will last for years without the need for repairs. FILCOTEN® HPC also has a high load capacity. This means that the drainage channel can bear a lot of weight without breaking or deforming. This makes the material very suitable for use in parking garages or industrial areas, for example. Finally, the concrete is resistant to chemical substances. This makes the material suitable for use in, for example, laboratories or factories where hazardous substances are used. In addition, the drainage gutter is easy to install, which means that the installation of the gutter can be done quickly and efficiently.

Different sizes and shapes

Different sizes and shapes of Filcoten concrete drainage channels There are different sizes and shapes available when it comes to Filcoten concrete drainage channels. For example, monolithic, U-shaped and ribbed (for parking garage) gutters are available. In addition, different widths and depths are available, so that a suitable drainage gutter can be found for every situation. Standard dimensions Standard dimensions are also available for concrete drainage channels. These dimensions are based on the average needs of households and businesses. For example, drainage channels with a width of 100 mm to 400 mm are available. In addition, there are also drainage channels with a depth of 135 mm to 535 mm. Connection options with other drainage systems It is possible to connect concrete drainage channels with other drainage systems. For example, a connection can be made to the sewer or to an infiltration system. This allows the rainwater to be efficiently drained away. Filcoten concrete gutter with grid Filcoten is a brand name for concrete drainage channels with a specially designed shape. This shape ensures that the water is drained quickly and efficiently. In addition, these concrete gutters are available with a grid. This grille ensures that leaves and other debris do not end up in the drain channel and it does not become clogged.

Material Filcoten concrete

The Filcoten concrete material is an excellent choice for a concrete gutter. It has several advantages that make it suitable for this application. The material is durable and wear-resistant, so it lasts a long time and requires little maintenance. In addition, Filcoten concrete is lightweight yet strong, making it easy to handle during installation. It is therefore also easy to install. In short, Filcoten concrete is a versatile material that is perfect for a concrete gutter.

Applications

Driveways, parking lots and garden paths are common applications for concrete drainage channels. These gutters ensure that water is drained off efficiently, so that no puddles form and the site remains safe to walk on. Concrete gutter with grating is a popular choice due to the durability and sturdiness of the material. Filcoten is a brand that specializes in concrete drainage channels and offers different types that are suitable for various applications. Concrete drainage channels are also widely used for industrial applications, for example in factories where a lot of water is used. In the inner city area, concrete drainage channels are often used in the construction of roads and sidewalks to prevent flooding and to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. In short, the concrete drainage gutter is a versatile solution for various applications.

FILCOTEN® HPC, environmentally friendly without BTEX substances

The IBR (Institut fur Baubiologie Rosenheim) has issued an environmental certificate for the BG-FILCOTEN® grating gutter. The building material FILCOTEN® HPC does not contain any BTEX substances. BTEX stands for Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes

FILCOTEN® HPC is a building material that consists of fiber concrete C60/75. Compared to the classic concrete gutters of type M, the weight saving of 70% yields advantages in transport and handling. The biggest advantage is that the FILCOTEN® HPC grating gutter has the dimensions and approximately the same weight as that of a drainage gutter made of polymer concrete, but does not contain the so-called chemical BTEX substances.

 

Gutter types M & I in accordance with NEN EN 1433

Line drainage is subject to a European harmonized standard, NEN EN 1433.
Various gutter types are described in this standard.
A distinction is made between gutter elements that must be installed without a foundation and concrete casing (gutter type I) and those with a concrete foundation and casing (gutter type M).
Many of the gutter systems supplied in the Netherlands are of the so-called type M.
In contrast to the type I, the installation of the type M must be carried out carefully. Each supplier refers to the relevant installation instructions.
In fact, the drainage channel is only suitable for the specified traffic load when it is encased in the prescribed quality and quantity of concrete.
The use of gutter type I saves considerably on installation time and the load capacity is no longer dependent on installation with concrete.
By means of a so-called DoP statement and a marking on each gutter element, it is immediately possible to see which type it concerns.
