TraffikDrainACO Infrastructure

Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 5A: Drainage, acknowledges ACO’s TraffikDrain as a practical solution to control the width of gutter flow through the drain’s continuous capture inlets.

Grated trench drains for roadsTypical Applications

• Motorways and highways

• Streetscapes with shared zones for pedestrians and vehicles

• Busways, bus stops and railway interchanges

• Bridge abutments and tunnel portals

• Median strips

• Right hand turn bays

• Kerbside gutters

Problem Areas

• Flat pavements and road surfaces

• Restricted road shoulders

• Limited space due to underground services

Water Management

• Provision of continuous capture inlets

• Prevention of aquaplaning, property damage and water splashing pedestrians

• Containment of toxins and fuel spills in environmentally sensitive areas

‘V’ profile channels‘V’ profile channels promote higher velocities during minor storm events resulting in a more hydraulically efficient drain compared to ‘U’ profile channels.

Interconnecting end profilesInterconnecting end profiles allow easy and effective joining of channels.

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

Anti-shunt lugsRecesses in grates fit around anti-shunt lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal movement under dynamic wheel loads.

Knock-outsEvery fifth sloped channel and all neutral channels have a knock-out area to allow for a vertical outlet connection to the pipework.

Sloped channelMetre 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.

TraffikDrain combines the benefits of Polycrete® Channels1 with a choice of purpose designed grates to minimise ponding and other dangers to road users.

The iron Hi-Flo and Transverse grates ensure maximum water intake, resulting in quick removal of water from the road surface. The iron Heelsafe® Anti-Slip2 grate provides pedestrian safety in heavily foot trafficked areas.

All grates are secured with the PowerLok® barless and boltless locking system that enables quick and easy access for maintenance operations.1 Polycrete® refers to ACO products made from polymer concrete.2 Heelsafe® is ACO’s trademark for a pedestrian friendly grate.

Channel numberingChannel numbering is located on the sidewalls and the invert base of the channel. The number of the connecting channel is embossed and located at the end of each channel to aid identification.

Polymer concretePolymer concrete is a durable, lightweight material made from a polyester resin binder, reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.

PowerLok ®

A patented, barless and boltless locking system that provides easy fitting and removal of grates reducing installation time and maintenance time.

Ductile iron edge railIntegrally cast-in rail provides maximum strength and protection for channel body.

Ductile iron gratesHi-Flo, Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip and Transverse ductile iron grates are heavy duty and rated up to AS 3996 Load Class D (approx. 8 tonne wheel load).

Profiled side wallsProfiled side walls provide channel body strength and mechanical keying to concrete encasement.

Installation DeviceInstallation devices are available from ACO, to reduce installation time and labour costs. The device clamps the channels together and braces them to prevent movement. The device also stops the channels from floating during the single concrete pour.

Pedestrian safe grate

Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grate

The Iron Intercept Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grate is designed to be heel friendly and slip resistant for pedestrian crossings and other high pedestrian traffic areas.

The grate has 8mm slots that meet the requirements of:

• Clause 3.3.5 – Surface Openings in Pedestrian Areas, AS 3996 Access Covers and Grates

• Clause 9(c) – Ground and Floor Surfaces addressing wheelchair and walking cane safety, AS 1428.2 Design for Access and Mobility

This grate is independently tested for slip resistance to P3 (wet pendulum) and R10 (oil-wet platform), AS 4586 Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials. NATA endorsed test reports are available.

High capacity grates

Iron Hi-Flo and Iron Transverse grate

ACO’s high capacity grates are designed with large efficient inlets to ensure high water intake, resulting in quick stormwater removal from road surfaces. These features offer the following benefits:

• Easy cleaning with or without grate removal

• Channel can be inspected through the top of the grate

• Leaves do not block inlets

TraffikDrain grates

All TraffikDrain grates are purpose designed to meet Australian road requirements.

• Rated to Load Class D 210kN, AS 3996 Access Covers and Grates. NATA endorsed test reports available

• Bicycle wheel compliant in all directions, AS 3996

• Manufactured from ductile iron Grade 500/7, AS 1831 Ductile Cast Iron

• Anti-shunt provisions prevent longitudinal movements from dynamic wheel loads

• PowerLok® is a barless and boltless locking system that provides easy fitting and removal of grates reducing installation time and maintenance time

Type 900 in-line pits are the same width as the trench run.

The polymer concrete in-line top enables the same grate to be used as the trench run for a seamless finish.

TD3-614 in-line pit allows for connection through the long side wall with a reinforced concrete pipe up to DN375.

• Determine pit spacings

• Allow gutter flow width to be calculated

• Grate intake testing based on experimental results and software developed by the UNSW Water Research Laboratory

Technical documentation

NOTES:

1. Specific site conditions may require an increase in concrete encasement dimensions and/or reinforcement. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the

concrete encasement is designed for the application. A minimum concrete strength of 25MPa is recommended. The concrete should be vibrated to

eliminate air pockets. Engineering advice may be required.

2. The finished level of the asphalt must be approximately 3mm above the top of the channel edge.

3. Haunch slopes away at a ratio of 1:4 or approximately 15°.
