The milestone

for heavy loads.

+

Front / end cap with tongue and groove system

The front or end cap closes off the front of the gutter line and fits perfectly into the gutter system thanks to the tongue and groove system. For a tight, secure seal without additional effort.
+

Outlet bottom part with rotatable connection

The drain base has a tight DN 200 pipe coupling (KG socket) and can be flexibly aligned to the left or right depending on the installation situation – for easy adaptation on site.
+

One grating – one consistent design

The characteristic S-design is consistently continued in the cast iron grate. Frame and grating are KTL-coated and equipped with 4-times bolt connections for maximum stability – tested up to load class F 900.
+

Retention & step gradient for higher performance

With an additional height of 20 cm, the 40-0 construction height offers more hydraulic capacity and enables longer channel sections up to the discharge point. With 40 litres/m of additional retention volume, it is ideal for rainwater retention.

FILCOTEN® HPC:

Like traditional concrete,

only better.

<p>FILCOTEN® HPC high-performance, 100% mineral concrete is an enhanced form of conventional concrete. Its engineering and ecological properties are achieved without the use of any styrenes, synthetic fibres or polymers. The optimised high-density structure of HPC makes it possible to construct highly stable, lightweight drainage channels – but it’s the idea behind it that makes it unique. </p>

Ideal water drainage due to inflow opening in the channel joint

The inflow opening in the joint with standardised slot width enables efficient and reliable drainage at the channel joint and fulfils all requirements for modern, safe surface drainage.
+

Pedestrian and cyclist friendly design

The inflow openings are arranged radially in opposite directions and have an S-shaped double-slot design. This makes it possible to cross the channel safely – both on foot and by bike.
+

Monolithic structure made of FILCOTEN® HPC

Unlike conventional drainage channels with channel and grating, the BG-FILCOTEN® one consists of 100% FILCOTEN® HPC. This monolithic design makes the component particularly robust, wear-resistant and ideal for the high dynamic loads in road traffic.
+

Tongue and groove system for fast, direction-free installation

Thanks to the non-directional channel joint, the system is particularly quick and easy to install. The precise tongue-and-groove system enables the channels to be installed with a precise, flush fit and ensures a predefined joint distance to optimally accommodate the sealing profile.
+

Highly efficient water flow due to wave profile design

The channel cross-section with innovative corrugated wave profile design ensures optimum hydraulics for partial and full filling. The specially shaped W-profile creates turbulence in the inflowing water, which ensures a high self-cleaning effect and keeps the channel free of deposits in the long term.
+

One with its surroundings through colour and quality

With its surface in a typical concrete colour and high-quality exposed concrete quality, the channel blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The discreet appearance ensures unobtrusive integration into a wide variety of coverings – ideal for sophisticated surface drainage.
+

Easy sealing system for permanent sealing

A pre-moulded groove on the end caps makes it easy to insert the sealing profile. The tenon system ensures correct guidance and a permanently reliable joint sealing. The system fulfils all requirements in accordance with EN 1433 for use in modern drainage systems.
+

Optimised inflow openings for maximum drainage performance

The inflow openings are designed in accordance with the requirements of EN 1433 and feature an innovative S-design that ensures particularly efficient rainwater drainage – even during heavy rainfall.
+

Maximum hold in the concrete bed thanks to anchoring pockets

Lateral anchoring pockets provide the channel with maximum support in the concrete bed and secure its position even under high loads. The identical linear expansion coefficient of FILCOTEN® HPC and set concrete creates a permanent, stress-free connection to the foundation.

<h2>Tongue/groove/tenon system for easy installation. </h2><p>Developing innovative products means always thinking one step ahead to offer benefits to customers down to the last detail. For example, when asking the question of how a channel can be laid even more efficiently.</p><h2>Because efficient is always better. </h2><p>Our answer: An innovative tongue/groove/tenon system that enables the BG-FILCOTEN® one to be installed non-directionally and thus much more easily and faster. The new smart sealing system* prevents water leaking between the channel bodies and guarantees easy handling.</p><h2>Innovation for greater precision:</h2><p>Wedge-shaped connectors enable precise connection of the channel elements and keep them at the correct distance for the optimal function of the sealing profile.</p>
<h2>Precise fit: </h2><p>The half-side tongue/groove/tenon system ensures that the channels are precisely aligned in a longitudinal direction when connected, without any lateral shifting. At the same time, the chamfered base offers sufficient “space” for installation concrete.</p>
<h2>Laying in any direction: </h2><p>The design of the tongue/groove/tenon system at the front sides ensures that the channels match in any direction of laying. Laying becomes easier and more efficient.</p>

Intelligent sealing system.

<h2>Easy handling included:</h2><p>The sealing is simply inserted into the circumferential groove on the channel body. Integrated fins stop the sealing from slipping out of the groove.</p>
<h2>Fitted on both sides for outstanding sealing performance:</h2><p>When fitting a drainage channel, only one sealing profile is required per drainage joint, and is pressed into the free groove of the facing channel body thanks to the precisely fitting tongue/groove/tenon system. This ensures that the joint is tightly sealed.</p>
