Frew Park, Brisbane Qld
Brisbane City Council recently transformed the former Milton Tennis Centre site into an inner city parkland. Featuring sport courts, playing fields, playgrounds and sculptures, the park offers many services and facilities.
Project Design Brief
Designers wanted to keep the hardstand pavements as flat as possible for pedestrian safety. A durable drainage system was required to withstand heavy service vehicles. The grates also need to be safe for children, pedestrians and cyclists.
ACO's Solution
- PowerDrain S100K with Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates
Benefits
- The S100K sloped channel system provides 5mm fall per metre length of channel to ensure efficient run-off of water towards outlet points. This is important as the pavement was constructed flat and level
- Rated to load class D (AS 3996), the Iron Intercept Heelsafe Anti-Slip grates are able to withstand truck loadings
- The grates comply with bicycle safe requirements (AS 3996) and are slip rated to P3 (AS 4586) for pedestrian safety
Other ACO products used:
- Trafficable cable enclosures (ACO Cablemate®)
- Cover and frame systems (ACO Access)
