Draining concrete paving for their performance characteristics are an essential part of sustainable rainwater management. The fundamental principles underlying this philosophy include improvement of the quality of the water drained thanks to the filtering characteristics of the flooring. Containment of hazardous pollutants within the structure. Improvement of surface waters where pollutants from impervious surfaces such as asphalt roads or roofs are no longer discharged.
Quantitative aspects:
– Reduction of flooding phenomena due to overloading of the Erosion Control Matting
– Reduction of inflow coefficients during meteoric events
– Prevention of phenomena such as aquaplaning or surface water veils.
Qualitative aspects
The filtering function of a Catch Basin Drain involves numerous aspects, and is strongly linked to different characteristics such as the model of the solid wood, percentage of drilling, fill material of the joints, geotechnical characteristics of the underlying soil, variables that, depending on the intensity of precipitation for the reference area , determine the parameters necessary for the design of the drainage structure.
