F900 Channel Drainage FAQs
What Does F900 Mean in Channel Drainage?
F900 means that the channel drainage system can bear a maximum load weight of 90 tonnes. In the UK, weight classes are established and applied according to the European Standard BS EN 124:2015, which comprises six classes in total. Each class is given a maximum weight load (tonnes), and these are applied to manhole covers and frames, gully grates and various channel drainage supplies.
What Are The Benefits of F900 Channel Drainage?
Industrial sites, airports, docks; channel drainage F900 class systems are engineered for extreme durability, able to handle the heaviest loads while effectively collecting and removing surface water. F900 class drainage channels, grating and sump units feature robust designs, made from materials including galvanised steel, ductile iron, ULMA polymer concrete, as well as other protective finishes.

Where Can F900 Channel Drainage be Used?
F900 channel drainage is designed for areas exposed to extremely heavy loads of up to 90 tonnes. It is commonly used in airports, docks, freight terminals, industrial yards and other sites where vehicles such as HGVs, aircraft or forklifts operate.
What Materials Are F900 Channel Drains Made From and Why?
F900 channel drains are typically manufactured from high-strength concrete or ductile iron. These materials are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand extremely heavy loads of up to 90 tonnes in airports, docks and industrial yards. Their design ensures long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.
Is a Catch Pit or Sump Pit Required For F900 Channels?
A catch pit or sump pit is recommended for F900 drainage channels. They trap debris, silt and waste before water enters the drainage network, preventing blockages and helping to reduce maintenance. They’re designed to keep the system operating at full capacity under heavy-duty use.
Do F900 Gratings Need to be Secured?
All F900 gratings, including slotted grating and heelguard grating, must be firmly secured to handle the extreme loads placed on them. Our range features bolt-lock systems, typically with 8 points per lm (linear metre). These prevent movement, reduce the risk of damage and ensure safety in high-traffic areas like runways or freight terminals.
How Do I Maintain F900 Drainage Channels?
Maintenance involves routine inspections, clearing debris and checking gratings and sump pits. Regular cleaning ensures the channels remain free flowing, while servicing bolts and fittings keeps gratings secure. Scheduled upkeep is essential to prolong system life and guarantee compliance with F900 performance standards.
