2 When it comes to the drainage of pedestrian areas, parks and car parks, MEADRAIN Supreme MEADRAIN Supreme: Satisfies the most stringent requirements concerning safety and design is the ideal solution in terms of functionality and visual appeal. The system satisfies the new European standard EN 1433 for drainage channels set in traffic surfaces, for example the standard specifies more stringent guidelines for environmental protection. But MEADRAIN Supreme also satisfies every wish when it comes to design considerations and, with its slender frame, guarantees a perfect butt joint with adjoining slab and paved surfaces. For loading classes A 15 to C 250 you can choose between four elegant Loading classes: The right solution, if functionality, safety and aesthetics are important to you: MEADRAIN Supreme, the channel system made of polymer concrete in accordance with European standard EN Particularly suitable for: A 15 (15 kn test load) B 125 (125 kn test load) C 250 (250 kn test load) A 15 Pedestrians Cyclists Green spaces B 125 Car parks and parking decks Delivery vans C 250 Trucks Roadside kerbs Road shoulders alternatives: the Z 1000/2000 channel with a galvanized steel edge protection or the S 1000/2000 variant with a stainless steel V2A edge protection. The edge rails are embedded in the channel body made from environmentally compatible, high strength polymer concrete, which protects groundwater from aggressive liquids. What about the channel covering? Here, all roads lead to MEADRAIN Top the universal grating for all MEADRAIN channels. It comes in various designs and features the innovative MEADRAIN CLIPFIX grating securement system for the Z/S 1000 system. Regarding functionality, safety and design 2 MEADRAIN Supreme is simply unsurpassable.

3 Polymer concrete: the basis of modern drainage MEA polymer concrete consists predom - inantly of natural, mineral raw materials such as quartz, basalt and granite which are bound by a resinous mixture. It is a material that is particularly suitable for channels by virtue of its physical and chemical properties: it is impervious to liquids, resistant to ageing and has few pores. It possesses an extremely high flexural tensile and compressive strength as well as outstanding resistance to chemical liquids, which also qualifies MEADRAIN Supreme as a dependable solution for the protection of groundwater. Furthermore, MEA polymer concrete allows for the material optimised production of structural components that are up to 75% lighter than conventional concrete channels. A benefit that pays dividends during installation, which can be accomplished without heavy equipment, saving both time and money. And should disposal become necessary one day, this too presents no problem because MEA polymer concrete is an environmentally compatible building material that may be disposed of as rubble.

8 MEADRAIN Supreme The heavy-duty drainage channel made from high-strength polymer concrete EN 1000 EN 1500 EN 2000 EN 3000 EN 3070 EN 4000

9 Wherever heavy loads are on the move, sealed MEADRAIN Supreme: For the simple accomplishment of high-performance linear drainage surfaces need to be drained quickly and efficiently, as well as ensuring aggressive liquids do not contaminate ground water, MEADRAIN Supreme literally reigns supreme. Because, for this heavy-duty channel type, the name speaks for the entire series: modern, high strength polymer concrete the material from which the channels are constructed already stands in a class of its own. Integrally cast within the channel, the upper cast-iron edge of MEADRAIN Supreme guarantees maximum strength even under the most extreme loads. A wide range of nominal widths as well as extensive system accessories for maximum flexibility during planning and installation serve to complement this high-performance linear drainage system, and when it comes to channel gratings, MEADRAIN Top again offers you a first-rate selection to choose from. Regarding greater planning freedom, maximum construction quality, valuable time and cost savings, MEADRAIN Supreme is the right solution. 2

10 Working with the modern building material of polymer concrete Compared to conventional concrete, MEA polymer concrete is an impermeable, largely pore free material that is characterised by its extreme stability and, due to considerable material savings, it has a low net weight. Predominantly comprising natural, mineral raw materials like quartz, basalt and granite and bonded by a resin mixture, MEA polymer concrete forms the basis for the high load bearing MEADRAIN Supreme heavy-duty channels. A system which readily satisfies all the requirements for areas in which heavy loads are moved, i.e. in areas of civilian and military airports, at container ports and on other interchange areas where truck and fork-lift truck traffic dominates. The environment in particular benefits from another advantage of MEADRAIN Supreme: the high resistance of MEA polymer concrete to the majority of chemical liquids makes, this channel system a prime contender where heavy loads need to be moved and ground water needs to be protected. For example, in the food industry, in abattoir yards, on brewery sites and in filling stations. Planning with outstanding properties: MEADRAIN Supreme Compressive strength 90 N/mm 2 Flexural strength 22 N/mm 2 Moisture absorption less than 0.05% Elastic modulus kn/ mm 2 Density kg/dm 3 Water ingression depth 0 mm Material structure Channel body weight Resistance to acids Tool compatibility Eco friendliness Resistance to ageing capillary free ideal for the rapid drainage of water and dirt particles up to 75% lighter than conventional concrete channels high resistance to chemical liquids (ph range: 3 to 9) readily cut by grinding disks, masonry drills and chisels environmentally compatible building material with mineral additives entirely frost resistant, immune to wear and maintenance free 3

11 MEADRAIN Supreme: Retains its strength even under extreme loads Apart from appearance and type of incline, the maximum expected load is the defining criteria for the selection of a drainage system. The different load classes and commensurate traffic surfaces are all set down in EN 1433, especially for areas that are subjected to very high wheel loads classes E 600 and F 900 there is no better choice than MEADRAIN Supreme. This channel system confirms the advantages of polymer concrete for heavy load areas in a unique manner: The extremely robust and practically wear resistant design of the channel body ensures the highest possible degree of reliability. Their modular light construction and the different types of fall allow for a multitude of different combination options. The outstanding surface finish guarantees a rapid discharge of water and silt particles, the high resistance to aggressive substances and the protection of ground water. Whoever wishes to unite reliability and performance in the best possible way in a professional surface water drainage system will plan with MEADRAIN Supreme. Loading classes: The channel for extreme loads, performance and reliability is MEADRAIN Supreme. The channel system made from polymer concrete for drainage in heavy load areas. Particularly suitable for: C 250 (250 kn test load) D 400 (400 kn test load) Not suitable for cross drainage of high speed roads and motorways E 600 (600 kn test load) F 900 (900 kn test load) EN A 15 - F 900 EN 4000 A 15 - E 600 C 250 Light commercial vehicles Road verges Side gutters D 400 Carriageways E 600 Industrial zones F 900 Special surfaces like airport traffic areas 4

12 The right solution whatever the terrain The rapid, reliable and cost-effective drainage of surfaces will always best be expressed by an equation containing the variables of surface type, average precipitation volume for the respective region, plus the amount of local incline. When planning with MEADRAIN Supreme, coming up with a practical answer to the equation is a sure thing, right from the outset. In fact, with its three fall options and a multitude of different combination options, you ll always arrive at the perfect solution for every situation: exact accommodation of the terrain and an optimal flow rate. Naturally, you are also allowed to factor in MEA s wide-ranging experience, which we shall be pleased to provide in the form of hydraulic calculations and diagrams. Without fall Linear fall Stepped fall The level channel run is used wherever no fall is required or the natural incline suffices. A choice of different channel heights and nominal widths ranging from EN 1000 to EN 4000 is available. Channel runs with an integrated linear fall, achieved by a continuous gradient of 0.5%, ensure reliable discharge. Their use is called for wherever the rapid removal of environmentally hazardous materials is required. The EN 1000 channel can be used to construct runs with a linear fall that extend up to 20 metres for individual lengths. Channel runs with a stepped fall provide for cost-effective, free-flowing and even discharge. This type of fall can be attained with channels EN 1500 and 2000 by combining connecting elements that have a base fall of 2.5% with channel elements without a fall. Here, the connecting elements replace a 1 metre channel section. Additional parts are not required. 5
