ACO GALA G100 drainage channel without grate, polymer concrete, type 6 06006

Drainage system for medium traffic areas

The ACO GALA G100 (type 6) channel is a component of a linear drainage system, designed for operation in conditions requiring resistance to loads up to 25 tons. Thanks to the use of polymer concrete as the main material, the channel is characterized by high mechanical strength combined with resistance to atmospheric factors, including frost. This solution is dedicated not only to professional installers looking for durable systems but also to end users planning the development of home gardens, bicycle paths, or recreational areas.

Application and load class

The product meets the requirements of standard EN 1433 in load class C-250, which means it can be safely installed in areas where there is traffic of passenger cars, vans, and light trucks. This range of loads makes it an ideal choice for:

• Access roads and driveways in single-family houses.
• Sidewalks and pedestrian zones with increased foot traffic.
• Bus stops and school courtyards.
• Curb-side drainage areas of urban streets.
• Areas around sports fields and recreational zones.

It is worth noting that the polymer concrete material provides better resistance to chemicals (e.g., road salts) compared to traditional concrete, which translates into a longer service life of the installation in difficult operating conditions.

System construction and installation

The elements of the ACO GALA G100 system are produced with easy and precise installation in mind. The channel has a symmetrical shape, which facilitates its laying both in straight lines and when creating bends (in combination with appropriate elements). A key structural aspect is the possibility of sealing the joints during installation, which prevents water infiltration under the surface and protects foundations from dampness.

The system is equipped with a cast iron grate with a length of 1000 mm (the length of the channel itself), which is mounted using a screw mounting system. Such a solution:

• Ensures the stability of the grate even with dynamic vehicle movement.
• Allows for quick disassembly for cleaning the channel interior or maintaining the drainage pipe.
• Eliminates the risk of the grate shifting under the pressure of vehicle wheels.

The body is made of durable polymer concrete, which guarantees frost resistance and compressive strength, while the cast iron grate handles large static loads without deformation. The overall length is 100 cm, allowing for optimal adaptation to standard surfaces without the need for complex cutting. The simple channel model and symmetrical grate shape ensure that installation proceeds smoothly even with limited working time for the installation crew. The product does not require specialized tools for basic installation, and its technical parameters guarantee compliance with the requirements set by public and private investors regarding road safety and the durability of drainage infrastructure.
