High-performance drainage for racetrack environments

Effective drainage is critical in high-speed environments, where even small amounts of surface water can impact safety and performance.

A recent racetrack upgrade project demonstrates how KOMPAQDRAIN® CIVIL from ULMA Architectural Solutions delivers reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Installed at the upgraded Circuito Los Arcos in Spain, now a 4.3 km track with new sections and full resurfacing—the system ensures rapid and controlled water evacuation across technically complex layouts.

Key benefits for infrastructure projects


Monolithic design for maximum safety
No loose gratings or bolted components, eliminating the risk of movement under vibration or braking loads.

High hydraulic efficiency
Large intake openings with Max-Flow effect optimise water capture and accelerate flow:

• Fast drainage response
• Reduced aquaplaning risk
• Self-cleaning performance

Max Flow Effect
Increases water velocity and channel drainage capacity by up to 30%.

Load class F900
Designed to withstand extreme loads, including high-speed traffic and heavy service vehicles.

Long-term durability
Resistant to mechanical stress, chemicals and repeated load cycles.

Suitable for: highways, logistics hubs, ports and racetrack environments.

KOMPAQ200 CIVIL DRAIN

Engineered for complex layouts


The project required detailed hydraulic analysis and precise integration into curved sections and track interfaces.

The result is a drainage solution that supports both performance and safety in demanding environments.
