KlassikDrain from ACO Polycrete was used for the drainage system that collects run-off from this water feature.

Wynnum Manly, with its fresh, salty breezes and views to Moreton Island is a vibrant community, 25 minutes drive from Brisbane. Situated on its waterfront, The Esplanade attracts many visitors, particularly to Pandanus Beach and the Wynnum wading pool. Water Park, a new playground, complete with a waterslide is now a great place for kids to have some fun.

Designers required a grated trench drainage system to collect the runoff from the water feature located beachside of the Esplanade. Almost 100m of KlassikDrain, K100 from ACO Polycrete was installed for the application. Each modular channel (100mm wide) and grate was mitered to ensure the trench run traced the radial contour of the water feature. Stainless steel spigots with removable strainer baskets were fitted to the channel’s stormwater outlets so that debris would be prevented from clogging up the system. Heelguard Stainless grates were fitted to ensure that children’s fingers would not be trapped and that the drain would be visually appealing.

Available in three widths, KlassikDrain is ACO’s general purpose grated trench drain range and is now available with Quicklok, ACO’s lockable boltless system allowing for quick access to trenches for less installation and maintenance times. KlassikDrain trench channels can be assembled to produce sloped runs, ideal for level pavements such as public domains and streetscapes. KlassikDrain comprises the industry’s widest selection of grates for all load classes and legislative requirements including the patented Heelguard anti-slip stainless grate.
