Supreme EN
Heavy-load applications
Next to appearance and the type of fall, the expected maximum load is the decisive
criterion in the selection of a drainage system.
The DIN 19580 / EN 1433 standards specify the various loading classes and
associated installation sites here. MEADRAIN Supreme has virtually been created
specifically for all those applications where extremely high wheel loads are present
classes E600 and F900. This channel system transfers the advantages of polymer
concrete in a unique manner to heavy-load applications: the extremely robust and
practically wear-free design of channel bodies ensures maximum reliability. Their
modular, lightweight construction and different internal slopes allow for a wide
spectrum of combinations options. The outstanding surface finish guarantees the
rapid discharge of water and dirt particles. What's more, groundwater is permanently
protected thanks to the channel's high resistance to chemically aggressive substances.
Anyone wishing to combine performance, reliability and efficiency in the most optimal
manner for professional surface drainage will plan on using MEADRAIN Supreme EN.

Supreme ENS
Critical heavy-load applications
Higher, faster, further ...
It applies not only to sport but especially also to the development of dynamic
business and industrial environments. Trucks are becoming increasingly heavier,
aircraft larger; critical surfaces are bearing ever increasing volumes of traffic and
therefore loads. This makes a new generation of drainage channels necessary;
channels that can also guarantee performance reliability for highly critical areas
such as airports, docks and terminals, as well as loading zones with intensive
levels of forklift truck traffic. MEADrain Supreme ENS channel systems have
been perfectly designed to accomplish just this. Thanks to their well thought-out
design, the cast-iron Z edge rails are better able to accept loads and distribute
these evenly across a larger surface than previous channel types. These
modified channel bodies in conjunction with MEA's heavy-duty gratings serve to
transform MEADRAIN Supreme ENS into a system for particularly demanding
applications.

Supreme SV
The perfect all-rounder
Increasingly stringent demands concerning environmental protection, longterm load-bearing capacity and functionality are being placed on channels
where these are used for the surface drainage of pedestrian zones, parks,
car parks as well as industrial areas. The SV 1000 drainage system which
is made from eco-friendly polymer concrete offers the ideal solution here.
With a 4-mm-thick galvanized steel edge rail and gratings secured against
longitudinal displacement, the system, which will bear loads to class E600,
can even be used in industrial areas.
Since it also offers excellent value for money, the MEADRAIN Supreme SV
is the perfect all-rounder, from city through to industrial applications. From
an aesthetic standpoint, the new ADA gratings, which have been designed
to be installed along wheelchair-accessible routes, and HEELGUARD
gratings, which are ideal for highly-frequented inner-city areas and allow
women wearing high-heeled shoes to also walk safely, are the new arrivals
next to traditional cast-iron, mesh and slotted gratings.

Supreme Z and S
City channels
When it comes to the drainage of pedestrian zones, parks and car parks,
MEADRAIN Supreme is the ideal solution in terms of functionality and
visual appeal. The system fulfils the new European DIN EN 1433 standard
with more stringent environmental protection guidelines for drainage
channels in vehicular and pedestrian areas. But MEADRAIN Supreme
also satisfies every whim when it comes to aesthetics and, thanks to its
slender edge rails, a perfect joint with adjoining slabbed and paved
surfaces is guaranteed.

Summary of system versions

Z/S 1000:
> No fall

For loading classes A15 to C250, you can choose between four elegant
alternatives: Z 1000/2000 channels with galvanized steel edge rails and
S 1000/2000 with edge rails in V2A stainless steel. The edge rails are
embedded in channel bodies made from eco-friendly, high-strength
polymer concrete which protects groundwater reliably from chemically
aggressive liquids.
What about the channel cover? Here, all roads lead to MEADRAIN Top
the universal gratings for all MEADRAIN channels. They come in various
designs and feature the innovative MEADRAIN CLIPFIX grating
securement system. Be it functionality, safety or design: MEADRAIN
Supreme is simply unsurpassable.

MEA

Polymer concrete
The quality material
The special polymer concrete from MEA is remarkable for its
outstanding physical and chemical properties. These make it an
extremely reliable and versatile material in even the toughest conditions.
The material natural mineral products like quartz, basalt and granite,
bonded together with a resinous mixture is particularly robust and has
an extremely high flexural tensile strength and compressive strength.
Another impressive feature of drainage channels in polymer concrete is
that they are significantly lighter than conventional concrete channels,
making them considerably easier to install.
Because they are particularly resistant to liquid chemicals, MEA
channels in polymer concrete are the product of choice when it comes to
eco-friendly drainage solutions and the protection of groundwater. The
numerous benefits of MEA's specially developed polymer concrete are
what make this material the successful basis for the MEADRAIN
Supreme channel system.

different channel covers is on offer.
A choice of three securement options exists, depending on the channel
type and clear width:
Two innovative bolt-free locking solutions are provided for MEADRAIN
PROFIX and MEA CLIPFIX; the additional option of bolted securement
exists for selected gratings. Opt for MEADRAIN Top and bag a series of
further advantages on top of everything else:
> Fast, cost-effective installation
> Optimised water uptake
> Extended service life
> No rattling with vehicular traffic
> TV-tested

PROFIX rapid locking for EN and ENS channels

PROFIX has no moving parts and

also guarantees long-term
functionality under extreme
conditions. The grating has been
designed to snap securely into the
edge of the channel. What's more,
integral lugs prevent any
lengthwise movement of the
grating.

For everyone who likes easy, fast and convenient installation. PROFIX it's
the choice of professionals! And its so easy: Place the grating in the
channel body press in finished. The grating locks into position by itself
through its 4-point spring-steel locking system. But what about removal?
Professionals simply resort to a screwdriver and lever the grating out. Be it
for a first installation or for channel cleaning: Compared with conventional
securement methods, PROFIX saves you the tiresome task of screwing
gratings down or using a complicated locking mechanism. This securement
method for professionals is available for all non-bolted heavy-duty drainage
channels.

Be it an attractive contrast or a harmonious transition to the adjoining
slabbed or paved surface. MEADRAIN Top avails you of every option
when it comes to design. And a securement method that allows every
step to be completed in a flash when it comes to grating insertion and
removal: MEADRAIN CLIPFIX, the innovative alternate to grating
securement using bolts. Simply place the grating in the channel body,
step on the grating, finished. Special MEADRAIN CLIPFIX indents in
the side rails guarantee a secure hold! The result is nothing less than
compelling: the CLIPFIX locking system saves time and money,
facilitates optimal water discharge and will last reliably for decades.

Operation of the MEA CLIPFIX rapid locking system

The only thing that snaps into position with MEADRAIN CLIPFIX is the
channel cover into the MEADRAIN CLIPFIX indents on the side rails.
And this is how MEADRAIN CLIPFIX works: Place the grating in the
channel body, step on the grating, finished. It's not only installation that's
a breeze, thanks to this innovative grating securement system.
MEADRAIN CLIPFIX also pays handsome dividends when it comes to
channel cleaning. Because the grating removes to reveal an entirely
unobstructed channel cross section that can be cleaned without the
hindrance of cross members.
Grating removal can be as simple as this:
All you will need are work gloves and the MEA grating hook. Use
this to lever out the first grating from a channel run. All the remaining
gratings can now be removed conveniently by hand.

Special indents integrated in the

edge rails are the secret behind
MEADRAIN CLIPFIX. They
ensure the grating locks into
position reliably and securely, but
similarly facilitate removal in a
matter of seconds.
