Project Design Brief
With a variety of finished floor levels throughout the site, different types of drainage was required to efficiently remove surface water from its pavements. A combination of trench drains and floor wastes were needed to be installed with pedestrian safe grates.
ACO's Solution
- ACO Wexel® push-fit stainless steel floor drain
Benefits
- The narrow 6mm slot opening in the grates resists heel penetration and are bicycle, wheelchair and walking cane compliant to AS 3996 and AS 1428
- Push-fit floor drains come complete with o-ring seals to provide a quick and watertight connection to both PVC and HDPE pipe
- Hinged stainless steel grates ensure no grates could be misplaced during maintenance
