Gatic UltraSlot Linear Drainage Systems are engineered to provide high-capacity surface water management in environments subject to extreme loads and continuous traffic. Manufactured from strong ductile iron, UltraSlot achieves load classifications up to F900, making it suitable for use in heavy-duty infrastructure such as airports, highways, ports, and industrial facilities.
The system features a narrow continuous slot inlet that integrates seamlessly into the surrounding surface. This ensures a discreet, modern appearance while delivering excellent hydraulic efficiency. The slot design reduces trip hazards and limits the entry of large debris, helping to minimise maintenance requirements and improve long-term performance.
UltraSlot is constructed as a fully integrated channel system, ensuring accurate alignment and structural stability throughout installation. Its modular design allows for a wide range of layouts, including straight runs and complex drainage networks, supported by dedicated sump and outlet units for effective water collection and discharge.
For environments where slip resistance is critical, UltraSlot can be enhanced with Treadsafe anti-slip technology, improving grip underfoot and under tyre in wet or contaminated conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas exposed to water, oils, or other surface contaminants.
Designed to endure the most challenging operational conditions, UltraSlot offers exceptional resistance to impact, fatigue, and environmental wear. Its durable construction ensures reliable, long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Ideal for projects requiring high strength, efficient drainage, and subtle surface integration, Gatic UltraSlot provides a premium solution that balances performance, safety, and aesthetics across modern infrastructure applications.
