MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow is a range of top-quality polymer concrete shallow drainage channels from Hydro Construction Products. Since its inception in 2003, Hydro has had a partnership with MEA Group, world-leading manufacturers of modular linear drainage systems. As MEA's official supplier in Australia, Hydro has garnered critical acclaim from the water management sectors in Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
MEA drainage solutions have been enlisted for application in international airports, Air Force airbases, vehicle test tracks, Formula One circuits, petrol stations, and various other front-page projects around the world. In Australia, Hydro and MEA's collaboration has broken ground for large-scale, high-profile applications in the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and AAMI Park, to name a few. With reliable expertise and service, Hydro has achieved outstanding results for both domestic and commercial properties.
One of Hydro's recent commercial projects in the Gold Coast is Cucina Vivo, a posh Italian restaurant at Jupiters Casino. Taking inspiration from the famed clifftop restaurants of Italy's Amalfi Coast, Cucina Vivo is designed with intimate indoor and outdoor dining venues, and grand terraces providing a bird's eye view of the newly renovated pool. For its functionality components, Hydro was appointed to provide polymer concrete shallow drainage channels from the MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow range.
MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow channels are manufactured from industry-standard polymer concrete, noted for its light weight, mechanical strengths, dielectric properties, and resistance to deterioration. The structural makeup of the material exhibits nominal pores, allowing for virtually zero permeability to water, liquid chemicals and other harsh substances.
The preserved structural integrity of MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow channels results in high facility to traffic loads, from Load Class A (10 kN) to Load Class G (900 kN). The load ratings of the polymer concrete shallow drainage channels exceed compliance with Australian Standard 3996-2006, specifying the requirements for the application of access covers and grates in pedestrian and vehicular areas.
MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow can be supplied with a choice of stainless steel, galvanised steel or ductile iron edge rails. The polymer concrete shallow drainage channel is available at constant depths, from LZ/LS 1000, LS/LC 2000 to LS 3000.

LS1000/60 was used for installation into the commercial kitchen of Cucina Vivo. Hydro custom-made MEA® DRAIN Solution Shallow, along with waste baskets for the facility. The result is a curved polymer concrete shallow drainage channel with stainless steel edge rails, complementing the sleek, polished aesthetic of the outdoor dining area.
