Drainage Systems for Loading Docks
ABT designs our high-performance drainage systems for loading docks to ensure safety, performance, and total regulatory compliance. These systems are meant to handle heavy loads and high traffic, not to mention extreme weather conditions. Simply put, our solutions provide the long-lasting draining for loading dock applications that your industry needs.
Whether you’re upgrading your existing facility or developing a new one, ABT’s experience and engineered systems deliver unmatched reliability for both industrial and commercial environments.
Why Effective Loading Dock Drainage Matters
Loading docks are critical access points for various industrial facilities. However, they’re also quite vulnerable to water intrusion, flooding, and freeze-thaw damage. Thus, properly engineered drainage systems for loading docks play a key role in maintaining and protecting infrastructure and ensuring that operations stay moving smoothing.
Here’s how effective loading dock drainage can keep your operation as productive as ever.
Reduces Risk of Damage
When drainage systems for loading docks are poorly designed or are outdated, it can easily lead to pooling water, icy surfaces, or structural degradation. This can also pose slip hazards for both vehicles and personnel.
That being said, proper drainage is key to preventing additional water intrusion that damages concrete and loading dock seals. By channeling runoff away from critical areas, proper drainage systems extend the life of dock structure and surrounding infrastructure – granting everyone peace of mind.
Industry Standards and Compliance Requirements
Effective loading dock drainage must meet a range of regulatory and performance standards. Depending on your location and specific industry, that may include EPA stormwater management guidelines, OSHA safety protocols, and municipal codes governing water run off.
Thus, selecting the right draining system – such as ABT’s cast-in-place trench drains – guarantees your dock meets the criteria necessary for safe, compliant operations.
