Pre-cast drainage systems for Malaga Airport

Pre-cast drainage systems for Malaga Airport

ULMA Architectural Solutions has supplied more than 20,000 ml of its drainage channels as part of extension works at Malaga Airport. Due to the large increase in passenger numbers at the airport in recent years extension works where necessary to cope with cope with the extra demand.

A new air field was proposed and engineering company INECO was contracted to run the extension project for the air field, which included the construction of a second air strip of 3,090 meters and 14º of divergence in respect to the current runway.

For this project the drainage system was a key factor both to drain surface water from the runways and to guarantee its resistance to heavy loads. The Malaga Airport entrusted the new air field runway drainage system to ULMA Architectural Solutions, which has supplied more than 20,000 ml of its drainage channels with cascade slope and a 2.5% presloped.

Channels with incorporated slope are the only type on the market with a real 2.5% slope, which, thanks to their marked incline provide greater hydraulic capacity and overcome the serious limitations on slopes but provide what an airport requires to drain its runways, making them the ideal product for this kind of construction.

As well as this, ULMA also supplied more than 40,000ml for the beacon cable ducting and guiding system. This is a system of pre-cast slabs of polymer concrete, essentially comprised of plate, cable tray, transformer connection box, and ductile iron covers.
