System of superficial drainage for the new terminal of containers of the Dock of the Prat
To be able to operate semiautomáticamente have needed 15 cranes of gather automatic, 11 machines that move horizontally the containers, 21 cranes ASC and 4 súper cranes Super-Post-Panamax with a unitary weight of 1.700 t and a height of 42 metres.
Expects that the new terminal can operate to full performance in 2013, offering 1.500 m of dock, a calado of 16,5 m and an esplanade of 100 hectares. Will have a capacity of manipulation of 2,65 million TEUS annual (TEU is an equivalent measure to a container of 20 feet). Likewise, the new width of European road will favour the international development of this big port infrastructure.
The fast and effective drainage of the waters of escorrentía is a fundamental problem in the zones of manoeuvre of the terminals of containers. A deficient evacuation of the superficial water can affect to his hygiene and operating capacity. The guarantee of a good result in the hard conditions caused by the continuous movement of trucks of big tonelaje and other own vehicles of this type of terminals (lateral movement of traction of the wheels on the channel of drainage) is one of the premises to the hour to decide the system of drainage to install.
Slotdrain Iberian SL, in narrow collaboration with the British company Gatic, is contributing with his long experience and know-how in the field of the port drainage, to provide technical solutions and economically efficient to the problem of the superficial drainage in big infrastructures. With but of 70.000 metres of channels of installed drainage in all type of projects, so much to national level like international, presented diverse studies and alternative technical-economic of superficial drainage in function of different hypothesis posed, and the agents involved in the development and construction of this new port infrastructure have trusted again in the systems of drainage, allowing the process of installation of more than 2.380 metres of channels Gatic Slotdrain Ultraslot.
Gatic Slotdrain Ultraslot Consists in a system modulate of channels ranurados of 3 metres of length manufactured in steel pregalvanizado with seven useful widths that oscillate between 150 mm and 600 mm. They are normalised and recognised with the class F900 kN (90 tm loads of wheel) according to the European norm IN 1433.
The suitable combination of the different widths of channel and the corresponding accessories provides advantages determinantes so much in the installation as of hydraulics and structural type, going through the aesthetics, the maintenance and the hygiene. The rapidity of installation, arriving to triplicar the daily performance with regard to traditional systems; his big hydraulics capacity, that carries to a very significant saving in auxiliary pipe with regard to other systems of drainage (in this case has supposed a potential saving of more than 1.700 m of subterranean manifolds, since the system of drainage Gatic already is a manifold by himself same); the structural resistance (the channels are virtually irrompibles); together with the absence of mobile pieces, as for example rejillas, contribute to that Gatic Slotdrain was one him them systems more efficient of the market from the punto of the cost of installation and of the hygiene.
