BG-FILCOTEN tec

The FILCOTEN tec channel system offers the superior characteristics of FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) and complements these with additional safety aspects. Anchoring pockets ensure a secure bond with the surrounding concrete bed. The special design of the galvanised steel edge allows for simple and secure fastening of the covers. Adjacent covering surfaces can easily be joined against the border of the edges. The BG-FILCOTEN tec mini version is the shallower channel for limited height applications. The channel system can withstand loads up to class C 250 (in accordance with EN 1433).

Additional safety

aspects for channel & grate.

Anchoring pockets

The innovative FILCOTEN HPC production and moulding technology made it possible to design anchoring pockets for a concrete channel body for the very first time, ensuring an even better hold in the concrete bed.
+

COMBee design grating

The COMBee designer grating is a very special creation by our Development department. This classic black grating with unique honeycomb-pattern surface lends a highly aesthetic touch, but has more to offer than just memorable designer looks. The design grating is 100% corrosion-resistant, non-directional optimised inflow, non-slip and UV-resistant.
+

Galvanised steel edge

The edge allows for secure grating locking with the innovative fiX locking system. Adjacent surfaces can easily be joined against the border of the edges.
+

Smooth surface

The surface of FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is smoother than concrete, ensuring the best flow and self-cleaning characteristics.
+

A perfect fit

Intelligently distributed anchoring points on both the inside and outside of the edge guarantee the solid bonding of the edge in the concrete.
+

Safety seam

A sealable safety seam enables a sealed connection between the individual segments
+

Standard outlets

Every channel body without an inner slope has a vertical outlet option.

when opposites

attract great things

 

FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a material that unites outstanding technical properties with ecological sustainability. The optimised high-density structure of HPC makes it possible to construct extremely stable lightweight drainage channels – but it’s the idea behind it that makes it unique. 

Unique concept, revolutionary results. 
Our engineers wanted to bring together two extremes:
maximum performance with minimum environmental impact. 

Maximum performance, minimal environmental impact. 
After intensive development, they finally achieved their goal. FILCOTEN HPC 
embodies these opposites, making it unique in the market.
