Infiltration channel „RigoMax“

Urban spaces and areas exposed to traffic in particular are not always connected to the sewer system. However, a controlled way of channelling away water is needed, especially during periods of heavy rainfall, where the ground in such areas has largely been sealed with concrete or paving. We have developed the “Rigoletto” infiltration drainage channel for precisely these types of situation. The product impresses not only with its large proportions but also its many specifically curated details.

Thanks to its bottomless construction, the channel is designed to quickly collect and then gradually drain accumulating rainwater through the gravelled base layers of the respective substrate. It also includes two integrated filter inserts, one of which can be added depending on the intended use and applicable regulations. The first insert sits below the grating and features upturned edges that help hold back coarse dirt such as sand or leaves, and even tire wear particles and microplastics. The optional second insert is able to filter out substances found in the water such as heavy metals, as is often a requirement for public areas.

We produce the infiltration channels from 4mm-thick hot-dip galvanised steel or stainless steel as standard. Integrated connection braces and angle connectors fixed to the outside walls, designed to be set in concrete, give the “Rigoletto” increased stability. Depending on the selected grating cover, the infiltration channels are able to withstand wheel loads of between 5 and 10 tons. The channels are available in standard lengths of 1,000 mm and customers can choose from widths of 388 mm, 588 mm or 1,088 mm and heights of between 350 mm and 1,050 mm. The channel’s length and height can also be adapted in line with customer specifications. Depending on the version chosen, the channels offer storage volumes of between 90 and 970 liters. Considerably larger dimensions are also possible, with a suitable drainage solution available for even the most demanding of applications and locations.
