Gatic’s technical team provided specialised, tailored technical support from the outset, ensuring the UltraSlot system met all the regulatory standards laid out in the project specification. Due to its high rainwater drainage capabilities, and suitability for use in areas of heavy, slow-moving traffic, UltraSlot was installed across all of the aircraft parking areas, further supported by the additional use of ductile iron covers and gratings.
UltraSlot is designed for use in external concrete areas subject to F900 loading, by ensuring sufficient depth of concrete over the main body of the system to withstand ultra-heavy-duty loads. It also presents minimal maintenance costs and has no moving or removable parts, which ensures long-lasting performance, positioning Gatic’s market-leading system as the preferred solution across airports worldwide.
Gatic UltraSlot carries the following system certifications:
- EN 1433: European standard for drainage channels in vehicular and pedestrian areas, classifying loads from A15 to F900
- ISO 9001: Recognized standard for product quality improvement and manufacturing process quality
UltraSlot units are available from 100 to 600mm wide; the largest unit having a storage capacity of 405 l/m. The range offers these additional benefits:
- Quick installation times
- Maximum intake
- Impact resistance
- Tamper resistance
- Reduced maintenance costs
The range can be installed in areas likely to experience extreme temperatures, and when installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations, should perform for the lifetime of the site.
A comprehensive range of grates and covers is available to suit every conceivable system design, supplied with locking bolts for additional safety and security. A ‘treadsafe’ option is also available, which makes the channels safe to cross when used in areas subject to high foot traffic.
