THE SAFE CHOICE FOR ROAD DRAINAGE

22 Mar 2017


ACO Polycrete’s TraffikDrain is an industry leading road surface drainage system, offering highly efficient and compliant solutions for controlling flow and providing safe, secure drainage for road users.



A highly efficient, compliant, and fit-for-purpose road drainage system, TraffikDrain from ACO Polycrete is acknowledged in Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 5a: Drainage as the leading practical solution when a need to control the width of gutter flow through the drain’s continuous capture inlets is required.





TraffikDrain combines the benefits of Polycrete® Channels with a choice of iron Hi-Flow, Transverse grates or Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grate. Each grate is purpose designed to minimise ponding and other dangers for road users, and are secured with the PowerLok® boltless locking mechanisms that enable quick and easy access for maintenance operations.

Iron Hi-Flo and Transverse grates provide maximum water intake to ensure quick and efficient water removal from the road surface. Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates ensure pedestrian safety in areas that experience regular foot traffic.

ACO’s TraffikDrain is well suited for projects that require:

  • Provision of continuous capture inlets
  • Prevention of aquaplaning, property damage, and water splashing onto pedestrians
  • Containment of toxins and fuel spills in environmentally sensitive areas.

Areas of application most commonly used in are:

  • Motorways and highways
  • Streetscapes with shared zones for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles
  • Busways, bus stops and railway interchanges
  • Bridge abutments and tunnel portals
  • Media strips
  • Right-hand turn bays
  • Kerbside Gutters

Additional applications, where traditional drainage designs are inadequate:

  • Flat pavements and road surfaces
  • Restricted road shoulders
  • Limited space due to underground services

WHAT MAKES THE ACO TRAFFIKDRAIN SO UNIQUE?

ACO’s TraffikDrain is industry-recommended for the vast array of features it has to offer.

V Profile Channels | Superior to the U-profiled channels, V profile channels promote higher velocities during minor storm events and result in a more hydraulically efficient drain.

Sloped Channel | Metre long lengths provide 40 metres of continuous (0.5%) slope that equates to 5mm of built-in fall per metre. Five neutral channel depths are available to extend run length.

Polymer Concrete | ACO’s first choice material for its durable and lightweight elements. It’s made from a polyester resin binder and reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.

Profiled Side Walls | Channel body strength and mechanical keying to concrete encasement.

Ductile Iron Edge Rail | Integrally cast-in rail provides maximum strength and protection for channel body.

SF Sealant Groove | SF Sealant Groove is cast into both ends of the channel that allows for a bead of flexible sealant to be applied at the channel joints. The sealant ensures contaminated water does not infiltrate and damage environmentally sensitive areas.
