ULMA: Engineering and Design Excellence in Trench Drains for Curved Spaces
Curved elements aren't just visually appealing—they also serve a practical purpose. In the iconic Plaza Cardenal Belluga in Murcia (Spain), a trench drain system with concentric circles was installed to create a sense of order and harmony in this historic yet modern space.
Designed by renowned architect Rafael Moneo, this project is a testament to how our Engineering Office provides custom trench drain solutions, delivering tailored results that meet the specific needs of each project.
The Technical Challenge: From Curved Lines to a Perfect Circle
While trench drains are typically installed in curved layouts using a polygonal assembly, achieving a perfect circle is a more complex challenge. Standard curvatures usually have wide radii (30, 60, or even 100 feet), allowing for easier installation with small gaps between channels. However, the high precision and aesthetic demands of this project required a more advanced approach.
