Channels for height-limited areas at Lyon-Perrache Station

24 Jan 2019
Case study

Lyon-Perrache station is the oldest railway station in Lyon, and is located in the city centre. It is a multimodal station as it groups together trains, metro, trams and buses in a single location.

The challenge presented by RAZEL BEC, the construction firm in charge of refurbishing the station, was the need for very low drainage channels, since the idea was to install them in an existing reinforced slab.

OUR SOLUTION: MINI Low channels

ULMA Architectural Solutions supplied mini range polymer concrete channels. This range is specially designed for areas with height limitation and load classes up to C250. Since this specific case involved a pedestrian tunnel, channels with heel-proof grates that comply with PMR regulations for people with reduced mobility were installed.

Our solution was installed at the new entrance on the southern side of the station, which connects different routes through a ramp that leads to the underpass below the Rhone River.
