Discreet drainage and service enclosures

Discreet Drainage And Service Enclosures

Beneath our feet, there are thousands of visible pavement elements overlying essential utilities and services. The most common are grates and covers.

  • A grate’s function is to ensure all the stormwater runoff from a pavement enters the drainage system efficiently
  • A cover’s function is to protect the contents (e.g. cables) of an enclosure from damage or unauthorised access

On occasion, designers and asset owners want to hide these elements from view without compromising performance. ACO can offer solutions to help create visually harmoniously pavements with off-the-shelf products.

Both slotted tops and linear permeable pavers are installed into Polycrete® Channels with a removable access available for maintenance.

Slotted tops are discreet drainage inlets for use with brick pavers, stone pavers and tiles. The discreet slots blend within the surrounding floor material for an aesthetic, sleek finish.

This also enables the slip resistance of the drain to be the same as the surrounding pavement.

  • Designed to be vehicular trafficked, heel, bicycle, wheelchair and walking cane friendly
  • Choice of stainless steel and galvanised steel
  • Available in a variety of slot configurations – single, double (adjacent or separated)

Ecopanel linear permeable pavers gives designers the opportunity to create borders or visual demarcation lines with pavement like materials which act to remove surface water.

  • Galvanised steel frame filled with a permeable UV stable resin-bonded aggregate slip resistance to AS 4586
  • Durable load bearing surface enclosed in an engineered frame allowing for water infiltration. Load rated to AS 3996
  • Available in eight marble/granite colours
