Bridges & Infrastructure
Bridges are critical components of infrastructure, ensuring connectivity, commerce, and safety. They must withstand heavy traffic loads and environmental stresses while maintaining long-term durability. With climate change increasing extreme weather events, advanced bridge drainage and water treatment systems have become essential for safety, reliability, and environmental protection.
Installation Advice & Drainage Solutions
Point Drainage – ACO Multitop
Designed for space-constrained bridges, ACO Multitop gullies improve drainage efficiency, safety, and economic performance. Features include height-adjustable, laterally displaceable, and rotatable (HSD) components, screwless locking gratings, damping inserts, and customizable installation options.
Line Drainage – ACO KerbDrain Bridge
The 2-in-1 kerb channel solution integrates drainage and kerb functionalities. Efficient lateral inlets, compact design, low longitudinal gradient, and optional second drainage level for porous asphalt (OPA) provide excellent water handling and long-term protection.
Advanced Water Treatment
Bridge runoff often carries sediments, heavy metals, oils, and tire particles. Systems can include sedimentation units, light liquid separators, and heavy metal adsorption filters to pre-treat large volumes of water, reducing pollutants and safeguarding aquatic ecosystems. These strategies support sustainable infrastructure while meeting environmental regulations.
Pipes – Safe & Resistant Drainage
Stainless steel pipes (grade 316L) provide durable, corrosion-resistant drainage for bridges. Features include:
- Large dimensions (DN250, DN315) for high flow capacity
- Matte surfaces for reduced glare and improved traffic safety
- Compatibility with concrete structures for minimal expansion treatment
- Special branches and reductions without complex fittings
- Lower installation and maintenance costs with fewer joints
