ACO drain
ACO channel drainage for car parks, roads, footpaths and other hard surfaces.
Phase 03 · Drainage & utilities
Channel drains collect surface water where it lands on hard surfaces, before it pools, damages paving or runs towards buildings. They sit in the finished surface, so levels and falls have to be right.
Civio installs ACO channel systems as part of the drainage and surfacing phases, setting them to the finished levels and connecting them to the wider drainage. At 124 Queens Road, Walthamstow, an ACO Qmax 900 system was a major part of the £1 million package.

Common questions
Where are ACO channel drains used?
On car parks, roads, footpaths, driveways and other hard surfaces where surface water needs collecting before it pools.
Have you installed ACO Qmax?
Yes. An ACO Qmax 900 drainage system was a major part of our £1 million scheme at 124 Queens Road, Walthamstow.
Can you lay the surfacing around the channels too?
Yes. Channels are set to the finished levels, and Civio can deliver the surrounding paving or surfacing in the same package.
