New drainage system to cut road flooding

ACO is expanding its StormBrixx stormwater attenuation and infiltration range, broadening the scope of installation applications. The units are designed to assist with surface water infiltration and storage. Highly versatile, the StormBrixx system can be used in a wide array of environments as a standalone solution, or as part of an integrated sustainable urban drainage (SuDS) scheme.

ACO is expanding its StormBrixx stormwater attenuation and infiltration range, broadening the scope of installation applications. The units are designed to assist with surface water infiltration and storage. Highly versatile, the StormBrixx system can be used in a wide array of environments as a standalone solution, or as part of an integrated sustainable urban drainage (SuDS) scheme.


The latest ACO StormBrixx SD (Standard Duty) range is a general-purpose extension to the high-capacity patented plastic geocellular system, comprising of a 914mm high injection-moulded stackable crate design.

The StormBrixx HD (Heavy Duty) offers an option for integrated man access units. StormBrixx SD has a depth to invert of 4.5m and is available with integrated access plates to allow maintenance. The range can be used for private sector integrated drainage systems such as car parks. The SD system offers a high void ratio of 97%, which can limit the volume of excavation and helping to reduce installation time and cost.

The SD range incorporates benefits of the HD StormBrixx attenuation system. Up to 347m3 can be loaded onto a single HGV, reducing the number of vehicles required. Manufactured from recyclable polypropylene, the brick bonded and cross bonding structure ensures it is a durable system.

Improved drainage offering from ACO

ACO has added two new composite edge rails to its Qmax range of large capacity slot drainage systems. The two rails are the Q-Flow and Q-Guard series, the latter coming with Heelguard channel inlet detail, suiting it to use in areas with pedestrian ways. As well as providing a durable and long-lasting surface finish, the new rails are also claimed to aid vertical and horizontal alignment during the laying of long channels runs.

SDS develops SuDS material to tackle highway metals pollution

SDS says that its engineered treatment media Aqua-Xchange can be used in regulatory-compliant sustainable drainage systems - SuDS. Delivered to site in lightweight 1m³ bags, it can be deployed as stormwater treatment in highways drainage, as well as on other higher risk locations such as retail car parks, freight and logistics hubs. SDS claims that independent tests have shown its Aqua-Xchange removes 99% of dissolved copper and zinc, toxic metals identified by Highways England as priority pollutants
