ACO Surface Water Drainage

As the number of impervious surfaces continues to rise, the significance of implementing efficient drainage becomes even more pronounced, as this marks the starting point of the WaterCycle. Whether conceptualizing landscape projects, gardens, or urban infrastructure, adept water management is indispensable to mitigate flooding, ensure unobstructed surface movement, safeguard infrastructure, and facilitate the return of water to its natural habitat. ​

ACO provides diverse solutions tailored to distinct applications, load classifications, and materials.​

Alongside a wide range of grating options, you can obtain solutions that are effective, aesthetic, and provide protection to one of the most precious sources on the planet: water.​

ACO DRAIN® - linear drainage channels

Linear drainage presents a more efficient alternative to the previously common point drainage.
One of its main advantages is the requirement for slope only from 2 sides (as opposed to 4 in
point drainage). This results in less piping and associated installation costs. Additionally, it greatly
enhances the architectural impression, appearing much more aesthetic. Particularly when utilizing
ACO's range of design gratings. Some of these have also been awarded the Red Dot Award for
design excellence.
