Low Moor Railway Platform Drainage Solution

Surface drainage was required for the platforms for efficient rainwater management and the prevention of flooding during heavy rainfall. With over 50,000 passengers (per year) expected to use Low Moor Railway Station, the specified drainage system needed to be durable enough to withstand moderate foot traffic.

As some of the channels would be installed nearer the outer edge of the platform, the system required non-corrosive gratings, as foot traffic would be minimal within these areas. Non-treated ductile iron gratings would oxidise, leaving a non-aesthetic appeal.

Colin Taff, HAURATON Area Sales Manager – North East, proposed the RECYFIX PRO surface drainage system.

RECYFIX PRO provided the perfect combination of aesthetics, durability and performance. The channel and grating are manufactured from corrosion-resistant modified polypropylene composite. The award-winning FIBRETEC grating has a heelsafe slot width, which is essential in public areas. The RECYFIX range of products has non-conductive properties.

The combined benefits of RECYFIX PRO made installation a quick and simple task for the contractor, with the reassurance of long-term performance for the client.
