The invention relates to an apparatus () for carrying cooling water away from the narrow sides () of a slab () passed essentially vertically through a secondary cooling device after casting in a continuous casting installation. In order to prevent partial overcooling of the slab at its edges, the apparatus () according to the invention comprises a plurality of water drainage devices (-), which are arranged such that they are distributed in a vertical direction over the length of the narrow side of the slab. This plurality of water drainage devices (-) is carried by a vertically arranged collecting downpipe (). The collecting downpipe additionally serves for collecting the cooling water that is drained by the plurality of water drainage devices (-) and carrying it away in a decentralized manner.
