In 15 years, rail traffic has grown by 20%. In civil aviation, traffic has increased tenfold in less than 40 years. These growing statistics are also reflected in freight traffic. With technology constantly evolving, it has never been easier to move and be delivered quickly.
To cope with this exceptional traffic and heavy loads in port and airport environments, our E600/F900 product range ensures drainage and evacuation of rainwater, makes it easy to open and handle your covers and manholes, and ensures the safety of staff on site.
As a smelter, our plant’s covers and gratings are significantly impacted by the traffic of handling equipment.
Take advantage of our knowledge and experience to show us your industrial sites and most complex cases.
We have the appropriate solutions for your machinery traffic or corrosion problems, with a wide range of products that can be specifically treated on request. Our various references on Seveso sites are there to meet your requirements.
The construction of external works on logistics platforms requires special attention, given the heavy truck traffic and the impact of trucks turning on your covers and gratings.
As in the case of ports and airports, the use of specific seals (Calcel) and more solid cast irons will contribute to the durability of your sites. In addition, our traps and buffers are equipped with lifting aids (gas, mechanical, stainless steel) to make it easier for your staff to handle our products. We can also ensure their safety by installing guardrails and fall-prevention grids.
Runway lighting, aircraft traffic, loading and moving maritime containers at a port terminal—all of these have become common place vocabulary and are directly linked to our latest projects.
In all of these cases, the challenge is essentially the same: to secure and facilitate access while reducing the number of interventions on your roadway castings to minimize load breaks.
We are able to satisfy our customers with a variety of dedicated products thanks to the experience we’ve gained from projects at national and international airports and docks: Titan 1000 and 1200 wide-opening manhole covers, “standard” assisted hinged covers, Maxums E600/F900 covers, Fixoval gratings and gutters, Ares multifunctional manhole covers, Aero runway lighting support covers.
When it comes to the electrification of maritime or river docks, mooring and automated mooring systems, station platforms, and rail projects, SOVAL can assist you in constructing technical gutters, approved draw-in chambers, flush-mounted covers, and roadway covers, all while respecting your landscape integration.
We also offer solutions to facilitate safety and visibility during your operating phases.
Our century-old experience and expertise allow us to design and produce SOVAL’s cast-iron ranges in our foundry in the Haute-Marne region (France).
Before anything else, our specialists and experts are here to help you make technical decisions.
A national and international network. Our branches are all well-stocked and staffed with advisers who are experts in your networks, supported by our many years of experience.
