DRAINAGE CHANNELS: MEA SOLUTIONS AT A GLANCE
MEA WATER MANAGEMENT
MEA Water Management is one of the world leaders in rainwater management, providing comprehensive solutions for point and linear drainage, rainwater seepage, and treatment. With an extensive range of products, MEA contributes to sustainable drainage solutions across diverse settings, from urban centers to industrial and transportation sites. Effective rainwater management is essential for reducing flood risks, safeguarding infrastructure, and supporting water supply in both urban and rural environments.
Precise design and installation for maximum efficiency and durability
For effective rainwater management, detailed planning is essential, tailored to the specific requirements of each project. Following installation guidelines is crucial for ensuring optimal system functionality and longevity. Accurate hydraulic calculations help ensure that drainage systems perform effectively even during heavy rainfall events. Digital planning tools, such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) models, are invaluable in this process, as they offer a comprehensive and precise depiction of the systems and their integration with existing structures.
Materials and their specific advantages in the field of drainage
Universal drainage systems for a wide range of applications
MEA offers specialized drainage solutions across a wide range of applications, designed for high efficiency and durability:
- Street and Highway Drainage: Systems like MEAKERB, MEACRET LINE, MEADRAIN EN/ENS and MEADRAIN DM are engineered specifically for heavily trafficked streets and highways. These systems can withstand substantial traffic loads, ensuring fast and reliable rainwater drainage.
- Vandal-Resistant and Barrier-Free Urban Design: MEADRAIN DM CITY provides vandal-resistant and barrier-free drainage options tailored for urban settings, making it ideal for public spaces and city centers where durable and aesthetically pleasing solutions are essential.
- Bridge Drainage: The MEAKERB BRIDGE system is specifically designed for bridge applications, capable of handling the unique high-load demands of bridges while providing safe, effective water drainage.
- Rainwater Seepage: MEASTORM allows for controlled rainwater seepage, significantly contributing to groundwater recharge. This system helps alleviate strain on sewer systems and supports the natural water cycle.
- Terrace and Facade Drainage: MEATEC II is crafted for efficient terrace and facade drainage, safeguarding building facades and flooring from moisture damage.
- Race Track, Tram, and Rail System Drainage: MEADRAIN EN and MEADRAIN ENS high-performance channels are developed for demanding drainage needs on race tracks, trams, and rail systems, offering robust and reliable drainage under heavy traffic and dynamic loads.
- Port and Terminal Drainage: MEADRAIN EN and ENS channels are also suited for port and container terminal applications, providing the high load-bearing capacity and extreme durability necessary in busy port environments.
The importance of sustainable rainwater treatment and groundwater protection
Protecting groundwater and treating rainwater sustainably are central to modern drainage practices. The MEACLEAN PRO system has been specifically developed to filter impurities and retain pollutants from road runoff, contributing significantly to groundwater protection by removing contaminants from sealed surfaces before rainwater enters the sewer system or groundwater.
The MEACLEAN TREE system offers an innovative approach to sustainable urban tree irrigation. Designed to direct rainwater to tree roots, this system is especially valuable in densely built urban areas, where it ensures optimal water supply to trees, thus strengthening the urban environment.
MEA WATER MANAGEMENT provides a comprehensive range of sustainable, high-performance drainage solutions tailored to diverse requirements. With cutting-edge systems like MEACLEAN PRO for groundwater protection, MEACLEAN TREE for urban tree care, and high-performance channels like MEADRAIN EN and ENS for challenging applications in rail transport and port facilities, MEA is setting new standards in modern rainwater management. Utilizing advanced materials such as GRP, polymer concrete, concrete, and steel, along with precision planning tools like hydraulic calculations and BIM models, MEA’s solutions are designed to meet the complex demands of drainage in urban and industrial settings, making a lasting contribution to environmental and public protection.
