The project objective was to improve safety and increase capacity during peak times. A key part of the safety upgrade was the installation of centre medians to separate traffic.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vcex_heading text=”Project Design Brief” tag=”h2″ font_weight=”semibold” font_size=”1.154em” css=”.vc_custom_1534997838718{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603767244407{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]Designers incorporated some super elevated road sections to follow the natural topography of the site. This restricted the shoulder widths of the carriageway and therefore a continuous capture inlet drainage system was required to ensure all run off could be removed effectively.[/vc_column_text][vcex_heading text=”ACO’s Solution” tag=”h2″ font_weight=”semibold” font_size=”1.154em” css=”.vc_custom_1534997885619{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

KerbDrain transforms kerbs into continuous capture inlets requiring minimal excavation
KerbDrain’s compact design fits neatly in the shoulder of the carriageway
The 500mm length allowed for easy installation around the curved medians
Installing KerbDrain reduced the cost compared to conventional kerb inlet drainage, due to fewer pits and pipes resulting in less excavation
