Aura Boulevard Bus Stop - Aura, QLD
Aura, located south of Caloundra and bounded by the Bruce Highway and Bells Creek Road, is a master-planned, transit-oriented development designed to deliver sustainable and diverse housing options, vibrant mixed-use precincts and high-quality infrastructure. The development incorporates an integrated public transport network to support a connected, self-sufficient community catering to all stages of life.
Project Design Brief
The design brief required an effective drainage solution within the bus passenger set-down area to ensure safety and user comfort. To facilitate smooth bus movements while minimising stormwater splash onto waiting passengers, runoff needed to be captured effectively at the pavement surface to prevent stormwater from travelling along swale-like depressions.
ACO's Solution
- PowerDrain S200K system with Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates
Benefits
- The 0.5% built-in slope in the S200K channel ensured efficient drainage flow toward
outlet locations positioned along the run. - 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.
- Integrated anti-shunt lugs securely retained the grates under heavy traffic conditions, preventing displacement from bus movements and braking forces.
