In-Service History

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.
