Point drainage
Point drainage is an effective method for diverting surface water away from roads and urban spaces, thereby protecting pavements and buildings. GH Form's point drainage is designed to be an integrated part of the city's visual identity. Here, design and functionality come together to support the creation of a harmonious overall expression.
Drainage for complex surfaces
GH Form's point drainage is well suited for areas with complex surface structures. The Plaza range is available in several versions for different surfaces - flat, curved, concave, for V-channels and for asphalt.
Point drainage requires less excavation and levelling than, for example, linear drainage, making it a cost-effective solution, especially for complex surfaces.
Efficient water drainage in limited space
Point drainage is ideal for areas in urban spaces where have limited space for water drainage, as they generally do not take up much space.
With GH Form's point drainage, you get a flexible solution that is also suitable for smaller urban spaces - without compromising on aesthetics.
Point drainage with minimal climate footprint
Our point drainage solutions are designed for the modern urban space with a focus on the environment and sustainability. Therefore, the grates are made from 100% recycled iron, ensuring that the solutions have a minimal climate footprint. An analysis carried out by the European Regional Development Fund shows that our drainage solutions have a climate footprint that is 75% lower than standard drainage solutions.
All point drainage solutions are EPD-documented, ensuring full transparency regarding the climate footprint of the products. GH Form's point drainage solutions are therefore well suited for environmentally certified construction projects
Elevate urban design with architectural point drainage
At GH Form, we customise point drainage solutions that complement the architectural character of urban spaces while ensuring efficient water management.
