Hidden Drainage System Revealed in Bath
Modern Engineering: Historic Setting
Beneath
the pedestrian areas of modern day Bath lies an example of clever engineering
not actually invented until fairly recently. Ingenious as the Romans were, it
fell to the specialised engineers at Gatic to come up with a surface water
drainage system that was not only highly efficient but practically invisible to
the untrained eye.
Gatic
Slotdrain shows only as a deceptively discreet, continuous 10mm slot on the
surface but underneath, its unique profile means it can rapidly dispose of
surface water, whether a trickle or a torrent.
Free 21st Century Software
Slotdrain's
straightforward installation process is complemented by our rapid design service
and the availability of FREE design software. The concept's flexibility and
adaptability mean that bespoke design requirements can be easily accommodated.
Even the Romans would have been impressed.
