This includes outdoor storage of materials, processing operations or covering waste streams. The aim is always the same: to keep materials, equipment or work areas as dry and usable as possible.<\/p>\n

As shelters become larger, the roof surface also increases. In heavy rain, a lot of water can therefore accumulate on containers or concrete walls. If this water is not drained off in a controlled way, there is a risk that it will still end up underneath the shelter.<\/p>\n

In this blog, you will learn when this risk arises, how it manifests itself in different configurations and what role a rain gutter can play in environmental protection.<\/p>\n

The rain gutter was developed as an addition to our shelters and is supplied as standard in grey. If you would like to know whether a rain gutter is suitable for your setup, you are welcome to discuss it with our sales department<\/a>. They will review it based on your specific situation and application.<\/p>\n

Application for bunker-silo shelters<\/strong><\/h5>\n

At a building materials manufacturer, several bunker silos are used for the storage of gravel, sand and recycled concrete aggregate. In such situations, the aim is to reduce the ingress of rainwater as much as possible in order to:<\/p>\n
