Also enabling the precision specification in Costa Rica, was Gatic’s hydraulic calculator: a powerful tool for designers with a user-friendly platform to accurately calculate pipe sizes and run capacity. It maximises hydraulic capacity for the lowest cost, to the full benefit of the client. At Moin, the calculations were developed by the designer in consultation with the contractor. The total quantity designed and supplied was almost 3,500 metres, with a significant number of large units measuring 500 and 600 mm.
Exacting standards, uniquely sealed
BAM International also purchased Gatic Access Covers for the project. Since 1928, Gatic has continued to develop its range of unrivalled access solutions, capable of tackling the most punishing of modern industrial environments.
Gatic access covers can be typically found in airports, ports, container docks, data centres, water treatment works, gas and electricity facilities, highways and tunnels.
As a modular system manufactured using ductile cast iron components, Gatic Access Covers can be assembled into virtually any size or shape of cover, to protect and allow easy access to a comprehensive range of underground services across various commercial and industrial venues.
All of the basic components for Gatic covers are cast to exacting specifications and composition of the ductile iron is tightly controlled in order to achieve the non-rocking, gas- and air-tight standards upon which the Gatic reputation is built. When correctly installed, Gatic Access Covers can be expected to perform as intended for the lifetime of the concrete surround.
The installation of Gatic drainage solutions at Moin Container Terminal has put Gatic on the map in South America.
