Featured Product: Qmax 350 with Q-Flow Galvanised Slot

Other ACO Products installed: Grated trench drain, cable enclosures and access covers

The road and rail separation project at Springvale, south-east of Melbourne involved lowering the rail line by over 10m at Springvale Road.

Springvale Station is a transport hub that has bus, taxi, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The new rail line is located to the north of the existing tracks.

Lowering the rail line created several issues for designers. Drainage of the track was a particular challenge as designers needed to stop the ballast on the railway track from potentially blocking the drainage system.

ACO's Qmax 350 was specified as the 26mm drainage slot ensures track gravel is prevented from entering the drain.
