CastSlot
Gatic CastSlot sets the benchmark for high-capacity linear surface drainage, combining robust ductile iron construction with sleek, discreet design. Engineered for performance in heavy-duty environments, CastSlot provides efficient water management while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted surface finish.
The system features a narrow slot inlet integrated into a strong drainage channel, delivering exceptional hydraulic efficiency without the need for visible grating. Designed for strength and durability, CastSlot is suitable for the most demanding applications, including highways, airports, ports, and industrial facilities.
Available in various channel widths, depths, and configurations, Gatic CastSlot offers a versatile solution for modern infrastructure projects requiring both performance and aesthetic integration. For enhanced surface safety, CastSlot can also be specified with Treadsafe anti-slip treatment, improving grip in pedestrian and trafficked areas.

Gatic CastSlot Linear Drainage Systems are engineered to deliver high-performance surface water management in environments subjected to heavy loading and frequent traffic. Manufactured from robust ductile iron, the system achieves load classifications up to F900, making it ideal for demanding infrastructure such as airports, highways, ports, and industrial developments.
Unlike traditional grated drainage systems, CastSlot features a continuous narrow inlet slot that blends seamlessly into the surrounding surface. This provides a modern, visually unobtrusive solution while maintaining excellent hydraulic capacity. The slot design minimises trip hazards and prevents large debris from entering the system, reducing maintenance requirements.
The system comprises integrated channel units that ensure structural integrity and alignment during installation. These modular components can be configured to suit a wide variety of layouts, including straight runs, intersections, and complex drainage networks. Purpose-designed sump and outlet units further enhance efficiency by enabling effective water capture and discharge.
CastSlot can be enhanced with Treadsafe anti-slip technology, which improves slip resistance in areas exposed to water, fuel, or high pedestrian activity. This makes it particularly suitable for environments where safety is critical, such as transport hubs, public spaces, and industrial walkways.
Designed to withstand extreme loading conditions, including slow-moving heavy vehicles, aircraft traffic, and industrial machinery, CastSlot offers superior resistance to impact, fatigue, and environmental wear. Its ductile iron construction ensures long-term performance and reliability with minimal maintenance.
Ideal for projects where aesthetics, durability, and hydraulic performance are equally important, Gatic CastSlot provides a high-capacity, low-visibility drainage solution that supports modern infrastructure requirements while maintaining surface consistency, safety, and design integrity.
