What is a concrete tile path drain?

A concrete tile path gully is a compact gully specifically designed for installation in or along tile paths and paving. Unlike lighter alternatives, this version features a concrete base, which provides extra strength. This makes the gully suitable for applications in areas with heavy traffic or intensive use.

In addition, the gully is often fitted with a cast iron cover or hinged grate, which simplifies maintenance and extends its lifespan. These are the main advantages of a concrete tile gully:

●     Very robust : resistant to heavy loads and vandalism

●     Durable : long lifespan thanks to the use of high-quality concrete

●     Environmentally friendly : concrete is a natural and recyclable material

●     Easy to maintain : often equipped with a removable dirt bucket

●     Traffic class suitable : available for different traffic classes, depending on the maximum load

Applications and placement of tiled path drains

Concrete tiled drains are particularly suitable for public sidewalks and pedestrian zones, parking areas for cars and bicycles, along roads in residential areas and industrial estates, and in situations with increased risk of mechanical stress. Depending on the application, you can choose the appropriate oversize and traffic class.

Please note: Correct installation on a stable surface is essential for the durability of the gully.

Concrete or PVC tile path drain: What's right for your project?

When choosing between a concrete or PVC tiled drain, it's important to consider more than just the price. Both materials have their own advantages and limitations, depending on the application, load, and environmental factors. Below, we've summarized the key differences and practical applications:

When do you choose a concrete tile path drain?

●     Project type : Municipal redevelopment, parking spaces, industrial estates

●     Location : Zones with medium to heavy traffic loads (such as trucks or intensive use)

●     Most important factor : Robustness, stability, durability

Practical example:

When constructing a new parking lane in an inner-city area, a municipality opted for concrete tiled path drains with cast-iron hinged covers. Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, these drains remained stable, even under the weight of garbage trucks and street cleaners.

When do you choose a PVC tiled path drain?

●     Project type : Garden paths, schoolyards, lightly loaded sidewalks

●     Location : Areas without heavy vehicles or mechanical stress

●     Most important factor : Ease of installation and flexibility

Practical example:

PVC tiled drains were chosen for the renovation of a cycle path around a secondary school. Their light weight allowed them to be installed quickly and safely by a single team, without heavy lifting equipment. Their modular design also makes them easy to install to size.

Conclusion:

Choose concrete when robustness, durability, and stability under load are crucial. Choose PVC when convenience, speed, and lighter loads are key. Need advice for your specific situation? Feel free to contact us. Contact our advisors for a technically sound proposal.

Frequently asked questions about concrete tile path drain

These are the most frequently asked questions about tiled path drains:

When do I choose a concrete tiled path drain instead of PVC?

You choose concrete for more intensive loads or when long-term durability is required, for example in urban areas with many pedestrians or light vehicles.

What is the function of a garbage can in the tile path drain?

A garbage can catches sludge, leaves, and debris before it reaches the sewer. This prevents clogging and extends the system's lifespan.

Are concrete tile path drains suitable for traffic class B or C?

Yes, there are models suitable for both light and medium traffic. Ask us for advice on your specific application.
