ACO GALA G100 drainage channel without grate, polymer concrete, type 0.0, with pre-scored bottom for knockout 06000

Drainage system for medium-traffic areas

The ACO GALA G100 channel, made of durable polymer concrete, is a solution dedicated to areas requiring resistance to weather conditions and moderate loads. Thanks to its load class C-250 (in accordance with standard EN 1433), this element is suitable not only for private gardens but also for cycle paths, sidewalks, and school courtyards. The polymer concrete material ensures high frost resistance, which is crucial in the Polish climate – the structure does not crack under freeze-thaw cycles, and its smooth surface facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

It is worth noting the specific installation features of this model. The channel features a pre-formed groove in the base, which can be easily knocked out at the required location for installation. This simple function significantly speeds up the installer's work when connecting drainage pipes or creating slopes within the system. The element is supplied as a channel without a grate (type 0.0), allowing flexible selection of an appropriate symmetrical cast iron grate matched to the surrounding aesthetics. Screw-fixed grates (available as a separate component) guarantee stability and safety of use even under intensive pedestrian traffic.

Applications and practical benefits

This system has been designed with diverse recreational and communication zones in mind. Its versatility results from combining the durability of concrete with the lightness and chemical resistance of polymer. Consequently, the channel does not rust, does not fade under sunlight, and maintains its mechanical properties over years of operation. The possibility of sealing elements during installation further increases the watertightness of the entire linear drainage system, preventing water from penetrating the substrate layers outside the designated channels.

Main areas of application include:

• Private areas – terraces, driveways for passenger cars (up to class C-250), garden paths.
• Public infrastructure – bus stop platforms, curb-side drainage zones along streets, sports facility complexes.
• Pedestrian zones – urban sidewalks, playgrounds, courtyards of educational institutions.

For installers, dimensional precision and the simplicity of joining elements with a length of 1000 mm are crucial. The straight model facilitates laying in a straight line or gentle curves (using appropriate accessories), while the symmetrical shape of the grate eliminates the need to select a mounting side during finishing works.

Technical and material characteristics

The primary material for the body is polymer concrete – a composite combining the compressive strength of concrete with the chemical resistance of polymers against external factors and frost resistance. In this model, a key structural feature is the presence of a groove in the base, serving as a ready starting point for creating an opening for the sewer connection; this process involves knocking out excess material at the designated location. The element is supplied without a grate (type 0.0), requiring a separate purchase of a grate; recommended complements are symmetrical cast iron models matching load class C-250 and the ACO Gala® screw-fixing system. The entire unit has a standard length of 1 meter, facilitating planning of linear drainage routes in various public and private infrastructure facilities.
