Slot drainage is increasingly the choice for public spaces, plazas, and pedestrian routes, and for good reason. At Station Hill in Reading, it provides the ideal balance between functionality and aesthetics.

Here’s what makes slot grating stand out:

Discreet Appearance:

With only a slim surface opening visible, slot drainage integrates beautifully into paved surfaces. It maintains the visual flow of the landscape — no bulky metal grates, no visual clutter.

High Drainage Capacity:

Under the surface, the MultiV200 channel works hard to capture and direct runoff efficiently. It’s engineered for urban areas that experience large volumes of rainfall and foot traffic.

Compliant and Durable

Fully compliant with BS EN 1433, the system is suitable for load classes up to D400 — making it tough enough for occasional vehicle access without compromising design.

MultiV: Built for Urban Environments

At the heart of the system is the ULMA MultiV200 channel, known for its design, high hydraulic capacity, and ease of installation. Its wide internal dimensions help handle greater water volumes, while the V-shape profile increases flow .

For a project like Station Hill — with mixed gradients, planted areas, and a 4-metre level change — this kind of adaptability is essential.

Station Hill has transformed  part of central Reading into a welcoming, walkable space with green areas, seating, public art, and improved connections to the town centre. The drainage system may be invisible — but it plays a key role in keeping this space functional, safe, and looking its best in all weather conditions.
