General Guidelines


Our installation suggestions and examples are commonly accepted proposals. Any out of the ordinary styles of construction due to local circumstances, must be authorised by the planning body. The basic technical rules and guidelines generally accepted among experts should be taken into consideration during installation.

-

  1. The load class in the various local laying situations must be taken into consideration.

  2. The laying of BG track channel can only take place on a planum of at least 10 cm.

  3. According to the state of the foundations, the BG track channel have to be installed on a base course that has been mechanically compressed, or on reinforced concrete slabs, according to the instructions of the person in charge of the project. With cured concrete foundations, it is compulsory that the BG track channel are laid in a high tenacity bed of mortar. It is essential, that the proper tools be used when laying the drain elements (e.g. BG installation tools)

  4. A supporting wedge at the side, or concrete sheathing is necessary, according to statically requirements. To guarantee a good insulation, it is important to ensure equal grouting, allowing the concrete to infiltrate also under the drains and so ensure first-class insulation (avoid one sided grouting).

  5. Pay attention to the fact, that the grates must be inserted prior to the construction of the adjoining floor surface. (For Example during the usage of a pile-driver) and to rule out any mechanical damage, make sure that they do not come into contact with the channels.


  6. Between the BG channel and the connection to the roadway, it may be necessary (e.g. owing to horizontal forces in the vicinity of concrete areas) to insert a spacer at a distance of max. 0,5 m.

  7. The entire length of all adjacent concrete surfaces should be approximately 3-5 mm higher than the surface of the grates.
