ULMA have a project where many different channels have been installed with various applications, but the interesting thing, which is worth talking about, is where they have been installed.
ULMA has installed a strip of channels at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca. There is a huge range of different models from various ranges, for load classes from A15 to D400.
Channel drain systems
If you explore these incredible facilities, you will find channels from the SELF range in the areas for pedestrians and occasional vehicle use, in addition to channels from the SPORT range. These drainage channels are designed for sports facilities, as the name suggests, and have been installed around the perimeter of the tennis courts, both the clay courts and the hard courts, the highlight of the academy.
You will also find more technical channels, such as the Multi V +, a versatile product that is suitable for intermediate loads and road traffic where the hydraulic requirements are low or medium.
And let’s not forget the Hydro channels. These polypropylene channels are designed for use by pedestrians and sporadic tourist traffic, in areas with low hydraulic requirements.
As can be seen, such large projects often use a wide variety of channel models.
If you have a similar project, or a smaller one, let ULMA's technical team advise you and offer the best drainage solution.
Hydraulic Calculation
Their technical engineering team studies each project to ensure that the proposed channel systems are optimal in terms of both drainage capacity and cost.
They use a multi-platform software developed by ULMA that provides a simple and precise way to optimise channel costs by enabling you to select the channel that is best suited to the application, the exact location of intermediate outlets and the distribution of channels, whether sloped or cascaded.
Although the photos were taken on day when we didn’t have the beautiful sunshine that Mallorca is known for, they do show how the channels work, draining rainwater to prevent puddles and water building up.
