ACO, global leader and pioneer of the modular polymer concrete trench drain, has launched a comprehensive range of new ACO Drain® systems to deal with modern challenges experienced by today’s designers.
Pavements and slabs catering for all types of traffic, in all sorts of weather conditions deliver the most challenging environments for drainage systems. ACO’s new profiled side walls provide high body strength and mechanical keying, making ACO’s acclaimed signature Polycrete® Channels, the world’s most robust and durable trench drains.
Draining large flat pavements efficiently is also challenging. ACO’s new signature Polycrete® Channels are V shaped ensuring maximum liquid velocities even under low rainfall conditions. Each channel is sloped so that runs with continuous fall can be directed to the stormwater outlet.
The result is an efficient, cleaner and clearer drain, ready for peak design storms. Finally, the cost of injuries in the public domain from falls can be excessive for both victim and client. ACO believes that small slotted grates should also be slip resistant.
Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates have raised mechanical nodes for slip resistance and are available in a choice of stainless steel, ductile iron and plastic designs. Each grate complies with various user and legislative requirements, including AS 4586 for slip resistance.
