Free technical support

To support the specifier and contractor in designing and installing ACO N100K schemes, ACO’s Design Services Department offers computer-aided scheme design, hydraulic performance calculations and installation advice services.

Benefits for specifiers

Resin concrete

Minimal lifetime maintenance
3-4 times compressive strength of OPC
(Ordinary Portland Cement), so products can
be made lighter
Water absorption <0.01% by weight*

Purpose designed for ACO channel drainage systems up to 200mm internal width. The ACO universal gully comprises of a 3-piece modular system. Lightweight design for ease of handling and installation. The universal gully can accommodate channels on all four sides and is compatible with standard subsurface drainage systems to BS 4660. ACO universal gully has been certificated to EN124:1994 Load Class F900.

Excavate a 150mm bed and surround (minimum 150mm Class A to C or minimum 300mm Class D to F), blind where necessary. Form concrete* bed for base unit 1 and set on mortar (or similar) levelling bed. Make Pipe connections (PVC-U or SuperSleve) as appropriate.
Concrete* surround base unit 1 and pipes if required. Position gully intermediate unit 2 to level.
Concrete* bed for channels allowing levelling mortar bed if required. Extend concrete bed around unit 2 (see fig 1). Install channels (see separate channel installation recommendations) with taped external joints at junction of unit 2 and
end of channels.
Complete concrete* surround to unit 2 allowing for frame levelling bed. Cut out knockouts on gully frame 3 and cut profile of the channel from inside of unit 2. Install gully and haunch concrete* to the sides of channels as recommended in separate channel installation recommendations.
