Boollam Boollam Child Care Centre - Packenham, VIC
Boollam Boollam Child Care Centre is located within the heart of Pakenham’s community hub and provides dedicated kindergarten programs for three and four-year-old children. Designed to foster a nurturing and engaging learning environment, the single-storey facility comprises three community rooms and two self-contained kindergarten rooms, with capacity for up to 132 children.
Project Design Brief
The project required a safe and functional pavement design for the car park, accommodating both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Rather than utilising traditional fourway gully pits, designers adopted a trench drainage system positioned along the rear of the car park, allowing the pavement to be graded with a single-direction fall towards the drain. This approach simplified surface drainage design while ensuring stormwater runoff was captured and removed efficiently, enhancing both safety and operational performance.
ACO's Solution
- PowerDrain S300K system with Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates
Benefits
- The 0.5% built-in slope in the PowerDrain 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.
