Heavy Duty Drainage Solutions for Industrial & Logistics Environments
Gatic has extensive experience supplying heavy duty drainage systems, slot drains and access covers for industrial and distribution facilities worldwide. Our solutions are trusted across manufacturing plants, logistics parks, distribution centres and industrial estates where durability, safety and operational efficiency are critical.
Designed to perform under constant vehicle movements, high static loads and demanding working environments, Gatic systems support effective surface water management across operational, service and access areas. This helps operators maintain safety, protect assets and ensure long‑term performance with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Warehouses and distribution centres experience constant movement from HGVs, forklifts and automated handling equipment, requiring drainage solutions that manage surface water without disrupting floor tolerances or operational efficiency. Gatic’s heavy‑duty slot drainage systems provide effective water removal while maintaining a flush, obstruction‑free profile to support smooth vehicle movement and reduce trip or impact risks across loading bays and internal routes.
CastSlot is particularly well suited to demanding logistics environments. Its robust cast iron construction is designed to withstand high point loads and torsional forces generated by HGV braking and turning. The flush slot profile ensures reliable water capture while maintaining surface stability, skid resistance and long service life.
Gatic ductile iron access covers and frames provide secure, watertight access to underground services. Precision‑engineered, non‑rocking frames maintain surface integrity under frequent traffic, supporting safety and uninterrupted operations.
Loading bays and service yards are exposed to concentrated loads from articulated HGVs, trailers and delivery fleets, with frequent braking, turning and reversing placing high stress on pavements and drainage infrastructure. Effective drainage is essential to prevent ponding, protect hardstanding areas and maintain safe working conditions.
Gatic supplies heavyduty slot drainage systems, access covers and gratings designed for intensive operational use. Flushfitting designs maintain level surfaces, supporting safe vehicle manoeuvring and minimising disruption to logistics operations.
CastSlot is ideal for loading docks and service yards, offering robust cast iron construction capable of resisting high point loads and torsional forces. Gatic ductile iron access covers provide loadrated, nonrocking access, with lockable options for security. Assist Lift systems support safe manual handling, while Kerbdrain captures water at the kerb line to keep routes clear and organised.
Internal roads within logistics parks and industrial estates are subject to continuous HGV and service vehicle traffic, requiring drainage solutions that deliver reliable long‑term performance under repeated heavy loading.
CastSlot is widely specified for internal roads due to its durable cast iron construction and proven performance in high‑traffic environments. Its narrow, flush slot design efficiently captures surface water while maintaining skid resistance and surface continuity.
Gatic ductile iron access covers provide secure, non‑rocking performance under constant vehicular loading, helping preserve surface integrity and reduce maintenance requirements.
Kerbdrain collects surface water directly at the kerb line, reducing reliance on traditional gullies and maintaining clear, uncluttered road layouts across industrial sites.
Manufacturing plants and process areas require access solutions that maintain clean, uninterrupted floor finishes while supporting safe inspection and maintenance around production equipment. Internal environments place high demands on durability, stability and visual integration.
Gatic Parade covers provide a discreet internal access solution designed to accept surrounding finishes such as resin, screed, tile or concrete. This allows access points to blend seamlessly into finished floors while maintaining reliable access to underground services.
Engineered for long service life, Parade covers deliver secure, nonrocking performance suitable for internal maintenance traffic and equipment access. They are ideal for production halls, technical rooms and process areas where aesthetics, safety and functionality must be carefully balanced.
Car parks serving staff, visitors and fleet vehicles require effective drainage to ensure safety, accessibility and long‑term surface integrity under frequent vehicle and pedestrian use.
Gatic drainage systems integrate seamlessly with asphalt and concrete finishes, delivering reliable surface water control without affecting manoeuvrability or comfort. Flush‑fitting designs reduce standing water, improve skid resistance and support durable pavement performance.
CastSlot offers a low‑maintenance linear drainage solution for high‑use parking areas, with robust cast iron construction designed to withstand repeated vehicle loading.
Kerbdrain captures surface water directly at the kerb line, reducing ponding and surface clutter while maintaining organised parking layouts. Gatic ductile iron covers and frames provide secure, non‑rocking access to underground services, maintaining surface integrity and long‑term safety.
