D400 Channel Drains — Road & Heavy Vehicle Drainage
D400 is the load classification under EN 1433 used for road drainage and areas subject to regular heavy vehicle traffic. Forti Nova supplies the R100 D400 RapidLock and U100 D400 channel systems.
Typical applications
- •Roads and adopted highways
- •Heavy vehicle access routes
- •Industrial access roads
- •Urban drainage
Requires further assessment
- —Extreme industrial loading — F900 may be required
- —General domestic use
Channel materials
D400 channels are constructed in polymer concrete for the structural demands of road and heavy vehicle environments.
Grate types
D400 channels use ductile iron grates engineered for heavy vehicle loading.
Installation considerations
D400 installation requires an appropriate concrete surround, correctly prepared sub-base and compliance with manufacturer installation guidance. For highway applications, relevant highway authority requirements apply.
