Shared zones are a specific domain of what is known as a shared space.
All pavements in public spaces must follow best practice urban design principles for walkability. These 6 principles are distinct when it comes to surface water management.
- The design of flat and level drainable pavements
- Striking the best balance between foot and wheel-friendly grate slots and hydraulics
- Achieving the correct slip resistance
- Selecting the right materials for durability and strength
- Selecting the right grate to visually compliment the pavement
- Facilitating maintenance for safety and service

The 0.5% internal slope in ACO’s modular channels help to provide effective drainage in flat pavements by providing a continuous sloped run.
ACO’s Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates provide an ideal solution for surface water collection, level walking surfaces, slip resistance, durability and heel safety.
The range comprises grates with inlets not exceeding 10mm wide slots, enabling designers with the right balance between pedestrian safety and surface water collection.
The grates:
- Are load tested and NATA endorsed to AS 3996
- Comply with bicycle tyre resistance criteria of AS 3996
- Comply with wheelchair and walking cane safety requirements of AS 1428
- Are slip tested and rated to AS 4586
ACO has manufactured and supplied these products in Australia for over 25 years.[/vc_column_text][vcex_button url=”/products/” font_padding=”top:10|right:10|bottom:10|left:10″ align=”left” margin=”right:10″]View Product Range[/vcex_button][vcex_button url=”/product-support/project-support/” font_padding=”top:10|right:10|bottom:10|left:10″ align=”left” margin=”right:10″]Project Support[/vcex_button][vcex_button url=”/industry-solutions/pedestrian-safe/” font_padding=”top:10|right:10|bottom:10|left:10″ align=”left” margin=”right:10″]Download White Paper[/vcex_button][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vcex_image align=”center” width=”75%” overlay_style=”” image_id=”9649″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1629250363334{margin-bottom: 50px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-top-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1739942118816{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”]
