Reliable Stormwater Pits for Efficient Water Management
ACO comprises an extensive range of stormwater pits.
ACO’s design and manufacturing expertise in stormwater drainage ensures that every product meets the durability and service life requirements of the project. ACO’s stormwater drainage products suit various commercial applications, from public spaces to civil infrastructure. ACO’s stormwater pits and storm drain grates ensure efficient drainage without compromising the aesthetics of the pavement.
Each storm drain grate solution is engineered to perform under high volumes of water flow, delivering performance in demanding conditions.
What is a stormwater pit?
Stormwater pits, also known as drainage pits, are a key component in managing rainwater and stormwater on a site. These pits are connected to the stormwater drainage system through a network of pipes, collecting water from roofs and ground surfaces, preventing flooding.
When designed to Australian standards, stormwater pits offer long-term reliability and ease of integration into broader drainage networks.
ACO integrates stormwater drainage technology with robust grates to ensure both safety and functionality in all applications. The durable stormwater grates prevent debris from entering the system. They can be used effectively where an existing pavement has been finished with undulating falls for point drainage or for the collection of concentrated surface water runoff.
ACO’s Grated Pits are designed for surface water management and are lightweight, easy to transport and handle and are available in a wide range of sizes. Select from a choice of storm drain grates in 3 styles including Heelsafe® Anti-Slip.
Benefits of working with ACO’s stormwater pits
Choosing stormwater pits provides an efficient way to manage rainwater and prevent water pooling that could pose a risk to property. ACO pits support advanced stormwater drainage networks, helping engineers, developers and contractors to meet compliance requirements while ensuring efficient, effective water management across every project.
Applications of stormwater pits
ACO’s stormwater pits are suitable for various applications, from residential properties to large commercial projects. These applications often require storm drain grate systems that can handle pedestrian and vehicular loads. Stormwater pits are often used in driveways, parking lots and gardens, among other trafficable areas.
To suit different project requirements, there is an extensive range of grate options, all designed to withstand pedestrian to vehicular loads, ensuring a safe and secure solution. ACO also manufactures an extensive range of channel drain systems that are perfect for commercial and heavy infrastructure use.

A stormwater pit system is an integral part of modern drainage infrastructure designed to collect and redirect stormwater, effectively preventing pooling and potential flooding on the ground. It functions as a crucial intersection in the stormwater drainage network by collecting water from surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and other trafficable areas through a stormwater grate. This grate filters out debris to ensure efficient operation. The collected water is then redirected through connected PVC pipes or similar drainage conduits. Stormwater pits ensure the safe management of water flow, even under conditions of high rainfall or water runoff from adjacent areas.
ACO’s storm drain grate technology enhances this process by incorporating Heelsafe® Anti-Slip options that provide both pedestrian safety and efficiency.
Yes, ACO’s stormwater pits are suitable for commercial applications. They offer an effective surface drainage solution for commercial environments, capable of withstanding high volumes of traffic. These pits ensure the safety and functionality of the site, with their robust design and efficient rainwater drainage capabilities preventing water pooling and flooding, thus maintaining the integrity of commercial infrastructure.
ACO’s systems also integrate seamlessly with broader stormwater drainage networks, making them an ideal choice for large-scale developments.
Stormwater pits significantly enhance stormwater management by capturing and directing rainwater and runoff into the underground drainage system, preventing pooling and potential flooding. The pits effectively manage stormwater and accommodate a range of grate options. This design enables efficient rainwater direction to the desired site connection, optimising stormwater management and maintaining safe and dry conditions.
ACO prioritises customer satisfaction. The ACO stormwater drainage products are seamless to install and require minimal maintenance. ACO’s stormwater pits and storm drain grates are manufactured to rigid quality standards, ensuring durability and longevity. By choosing ACO, contractors benefit from storm drain solutions designed for both immediate performance and long-term reliability.
