A2.gif (1049 bytes)CO Drain is a modular trench drain system whose components consist of a polymer concrete drainage channel and versatile grating or solid covers.  Drainage channels are manufactured in one meter, 0.6% pre-sloping lengths.  Grating/cover alternatives range from light duty steel covers to heavy duty cast or ductile iron grates.  ACO Drain offers designers precise solutions to surface drainage problems such as parking lots, shopping centers, loading docks, chemical processing plants and residential applications.

POLYMER CONCRETE-  ACO polymer concrete is versatile, highly durable material;  its smooth surface finish is ideal for channel drainage systems.  It consists of polyester or vinylester resin (binder) reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.  Compared to conventional concrete it offers considerable advantages:

          Low moisture absorption rate

          Resilient to repeated freeze-thraw cycles

          Smooth surface, lower friction coefficient, higher hydraulic performance

          Lightweight

          Higher compressive strength

EASY TO DESIGN- ACO Drain systems are easy to design.  There are no complicated falls to calculate (built-in slope), and they are easily specified and detailed.  The choice between different systems, loading capacities and grating selection make ACO systems applicable in almost any situation.

EASY TO INSTALL- Laying out the system and installation of the channels is simple and time efficient.  Compared to the traditional cast-in-place method, construction is quick and straightforward, consuming far less labor.

EFFICIENCY/PERFORMANCE- The smooth interior radiused channel surface improves the overall hydraulic performance of the system.  The removable grating permits easy access for cleaning and maintenance.   The durability of the polymer concrete improves and extends the life of the drainage system.

 

K100S CHANNEL SLOPE DRAIN SYSTEM

K100S channel slope is a general purpose 4" wide drainage system suitable for internal or external applications.  It is available in 30, 1 meter long channels designed with a built-in slope of 0.6%.  The system run can extend beyond thirty meters using interconnecting neutral (non-slopping) channels.   The K100S channel system incorporates an integral cast-in metal rail edge design, which offers a unique and distinctive appearance for applications where aesthetics is a major concern.  The metal rail reinforces and protects the edges of the polymer concrete material.  The K100S system offers a variety of optional gratings covering load classes through E, with appropriate locking bars and bolts.
