Quality Malaysian drainage system from ACO Polycrete
In 1999, the Malaysian Government embarked on the development
of some new container docks at Tanjung Pelepas Port (Port Johor), located at
the southern tip of Malaysia. This was an initiative for a strategically
positioned port location to actively compete with other established south-east
Asian ports, particularly Singapore and Hong Kong.
As part of the pavement design for the new facility, engineers required a high
performance trench drainage system that would satisfy three main requirements:
to keep the overall pavement geometry flat, free from unsafe complex falls;
restrain the brick pavers and allow trafficability of heavy loads.
The ACO DRAIN S System (an earlier model to PowerDrain, ACO's current heavy duty
trench drain) met all the demands of the project. A total of 1,000 metre's was
installed in the project and will continue to perform for many years to come.
Commercial Wharves & Docks provide the most punishing environments for drainage
systems. Busy maritime operations involve the movement of very heavy vehicles as
they load and unload containers. The repetitive nature of heavy wheel loads imposes
severe stress on apron areas, whilst the corrosive nature of the marine air
environment requires only proven, reliable, quality products to be used.
As an ISO 9001 registered company, ACO has supplied a variety of durable products
including access covers and trench drains to container and passenger wharves and
docks worldwide for over 30 years. ACO also manufactures high performance stainless
steel drainage grated troughs, floor gullies and modular pipe systems ideal for use
in terminals and other quay side buildings.
