ACO GALA G100 drainage channel without grate, polymer concrete, type 18 06018

Drainage system for medium-traffic areas

The ACO GALA G100 channel is a component of a linear drainage system that combines the durability of polymer concrete with load class C-250. This makes the solution suitable not only for areas with heavy pedestrian traffic but also for locations where lighter vehicles may appear, such as access roads or cycle paths. The polymer concrete material ensures resistance to atmospheric factors, including frost, which is crucial for installation in outdoor zones.

Application and operating conditions

The product has been designed for various recreational and municipal areas. Its construction enables effective drainage of rainwater and meltwater from paved surfaces. Due to its strength parameters, the channel is used in:

• Residential areas and gardens
• Sidewalks and pedestrian zones
• School courtyards and playgrounds
• Bus and tram platforms
• Areas along curb-side street drains
• Along road edges (for local traffic)
• Sports field complexes

It is worth noting that load class C-250 indicates the ability to withstand loads up to 25 tons, making this model a universal choice for most public and private facilities with medium traffic intensity.

Construction and installation

ACO GALA G100 system elements feature simple geometry (type 18) and a symmetrical shape, facilitating installation in straight lines or gentle curves. The channel is equipped with a cast iron grate, secured using a screw-fastening system. This connection method not only ensures cover stability during operation but also allows for easy disassembly for cleaning the interior or maintaining underground installations.

Thanks to the possibility of sealing joints during installation, this system guarantees the watertightness of the entire drainage, preventing water infiltration into the subsoil layers. The length of a single element is 1000 mm, enabling rapid coverage of larger areas without the need for an excessive number of joints. The body is made of frost-resistant polymer concrete, and the cover of cast iron – these materials ensure long service life even with frequent contact with water and road salts. The screw-fastening system facilitates maintenance without the need for specialized tools to pry up elements.

During installation, it is important to ensure proper substrate preparation – polymer concrete requires a stable foundation to avoid shifts under dynamic loads. Sealing the joints between segments is crucial for the long-term watertightness of the installation.
