ACO Polycrete  supplied its PowerDrain S300K trench drain system with slotted ductile iron grates for the Banora Point Upgrade project along the Pacific Highway in New South Wales.

The $321m project is in a busy urban setting that will provide a freeway link between the Chinderah Bypass and Tweed Heads.

Located along a heavy traffic section of the Pacific Highway, the Banora Point Upgrade project involved the construction of a 2.5km six-lane divided highway with a major viaduct, land bridge and interchanges at both ends.

ACO’s PowerDrain S300K trench drain system featuring slotted ductile iron grates was installed by the project designers to drain a reduced shoulder width, ensuring all surface water was captured quickly and preventing any part of the ponding from encroaching into the traffic lanes.
