Auckland Airport: 

Back in 2004/2005, ACO‘s PowerDrain S300K channels with Ductil Iron slotted grates were installed at the Auckland Airport.

Queenstown Airport: 

As part of Queenstown Airport’s strategy to expand its reach from a regional hub into a national and international destination, a substantial upgrade of the terminal forecourt was required in 2005. The pavement needed to be well drained for both aircraft operation and passenger safety. As the airport did not have air bridges, boarding would be required to take place from the ramp. Layouts and a hydraulic analysis were created to confirm the suitability of ACO’s AS3996 Class G PowerDrain system. The majority of grates were slotted, however at pedestrian trafficked areas Heelsafe® grates were installed on the same channels.

Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates

• Wheelchair compliant to AS 1428.2, Clause 9(c). Slots cannot exceed 13mm (width), 150mm (length). Longitudinal grates are to be placed at right angles to the principal direction of travel.
• Grates designed to resist the penetration of a 10mm heel.
• Bicycle tyre penetration resistant to AS 3996. Criteria on slot length dependant on slot width.
•  Pedestrian safe grates with slip resistance, rated to AS 4586.
