Project Design Brief
New drainage infrastructure was required for the flat and level areas surrounding the park amenities to accommodate vehicular movements and pedestrian traffic. Lockable grates needed to provide slip resistance and heel penetration whilst enabling easy access for maintenance.
ACO's Solution
- PowerDrain S300K system with Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates
Benefits
- The 0.5% built-in slope in the S300K channel allowed the pavement to be constructed as flat as possible and still provide efficient drainage.
- The Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grate provides slip resistance of P5 to AS 4586 and Load Class D to AS 3996, which met the designer’s requirements.
- PowerLok® barless and boltless locking mechanism provides easy access for maintenance.
