Parking deck channel “Parco”

Whether it’s falling precipitation around the ramps or water brought in by vehicles and passers-by, high-traffic parking blocks and subways are exposed to the wet on rainy or snowy days. This precipitation must be collected in a targeted way and then either directed away or allowed to evaporate. Good drainage protects the structural fabric of the building on the one hand and keeps visitors from getting wet feet and slipping or falling on the other. With the “Parco” parking deck channel, we present a drainage solution that can be used as an evaporation channel or a connected drainage channel.

The basic body of “Parco” comprises the channel and connection or seal flange, all formed out of one piece and excellently suited to integration in any type of flooring. Its height-adjustable base feet allow the channel to be easily fitted in many different installation locations. U-shaped metal sheets can also be used to extend the parking deck channel to any desired length, making it a flexible solution for car park drainage that meets customer-specific requirements. A cast rubber seal is fitted between the connector sheets and the channel body of “Parco” at the factory, to ensure maximum reliability for daily use. Two mounted frames hold precisely-fitting covers such as mesh or hole gratings from our fabrication. The hole gratings are reinforced to suit their application. Used in combination with the parking deck channel, they have no problem withstanding loads from vehicles driving over them.

In addition to using “Parco” as an evaporation channel, this product can also be connected to existing drainage lines via a nozzle, in order to direct falling precipitation away in a desired direction.
