Polymer concrete channel V 150 1 with galvanized steel edges ACO DRAIN Multiline 12701

Drainage system for high loads and harsh conditions

The ACO DRAIN Multiline V 150 trough is a component of a linear drainage system that combines the durability of concrete with modern polymer concrete technology. Thanks to the use of polymer concrete material, the channel gains high resistance to atmospheric factors, including frost, which is crucial for installation in regions with severe climates. The "V"-shaped cross-section is not accidental – it has been designed to increase water flow velocity, which naturally promotes the self-cleaning process of the channel and prevents sediment accumulation at the bottom.

Application and load class E-600

This solution is dedicated to areas subject to extreme loads. In accordance with standard EN 1433, the product meets the requirements of load class E-600, meaning it can withstand a pressure of up to 600 kN. Such strength makes it an ideal choice for port zones, container terminals, airports, and access roads for heavy construction machinery. Unlike standard concrete troughs, the reinforcement of the edges with galvanized steel profiles provides additional rigidity and protects against mechanical damage during intensive wheeled or tracked traffic.

Installation and system versatility

The element has a length of 1 meter and allows for series (cascade) connection, facilitating the creation of continuous drainage lines of any length. It is worth noting the factory-prepared groove for the SF joint – this enables precise and watertight filling of the joints between segments, which is essential for maintaining the watertightness of the entire installation. The trough does not have a pre-formed bottom slope (this slope is achieved by the installation layout), and the absence of a grate in the set means the system can be adapted to individual project needs by selecting an appropriate grate type (e.g., stainless steel or cast iron) that matches the surrounding aesthetics and technical requirements.

In practice, this translates into several key advantages:

• Higher material strength – polymer concrete withstands compression better than ordinary concrete and is resistant to chemicals and frost.
• Faster water runoff – the V-shape minimizes the risk of blockages and facilitates cleaning without the need for additional mechanical devices.
• Edge protection – galvanized steel profiles protect against chipping from impacts by heavy vehicles, extending the channel's lifespan in high-traffic areas.
• Safety in industrial zones – class E-600 guarantees stability even under the weight of 60-ton machines in transshipment and airport zones.
• Easy installation – the factory-prepared groove for the SF joint simplifies watertight segment connection, eliminating the risk of leaks at joints.

Due to the absence of a grate in the standard packaging, the installer has full freedom in selecting the final or intermediate cover, adapting it to the specifics of pedestrian or vehicular traffic in a given location. This solution proves effective where system reliability is a priority while maintaining the aesthetics of the drainage line.
