Who is Gatic? Surface water drainage

Original 1928 Gatic Gatic’s involvement with gas air-tight inspection covers The Slotdrain concept emerged as a result of the worldwide cover – still in service. spans more than eighty years. In fact, one of the earliest success of Gatic covers. Many of the locations served by covers produced by the company (then known as Dover Gatic inspection covers were in parts of the world subject to Engineering) is still in service at a Shell garage in Malta, extreme and often, rapidly changing climatic conditions. where it was first installed in 1928. The danger of adverse weather causing flashfloods and Access Covers bringing these vital facilities to a standstill was very real Modern-day covers look superficially and the requirement for a system capable of handling huge very similar to this early version but in quantities of surface water in a short space of time was reality, a huge amount of development, research obvious. Slotdrain was developed as a safe, robust yet and innovation has been invested over the years to unobtrusive way of solving this problem. enable today’s range to meet the exacting requirements of major ports and airports throughout the world. Slotdrain’s unique profile enables it to efficiently deal with large or small amounts of water with equal ease and Gatic covers are cast to demanding specifications and the system’s modular design means it’s relatively simple to held to tight tolerances that guarantee the gas and air-tight install and maintain on site. A single high-capacity slot replaces fit, upon which the company’s reputation is built.

Specialised Engineering. Special Advice 8 9 Secure inspection access wherever it’s needed.

Constant movement of containers and heavy loads in and around ports and storage facilities puts a tremendous load on surface components, such as access covers. Anything that doesn’t fit exactly will soon develop rock, which will eventually lead to failure.

Gatic’s renowned attention to detail means that our covers have been proven to stand the test of time in these environments.

All Gatic Access Covers for ports and airports are manufactured to Loading Group specification F900.

The seemingly endless paved areas of ports and airports can collect huge volumes of surface water in a very short time.

Special Advice. Fortunately, Gatic has some unusual answers. UltraSlot systems are designed specifically to tame such conditions as these.

Proven under F900, to easily withstand slow moving wheeled loads in excess of 20 tonne, their unique ‘V’ channel profile means they can maintain peak efficiency under all conditions.
