ACO S Range
CHANNEL DRAINS
Specication features
Heavy duty channel drainage system to Load Class F900 (BS EN 1433:2002), with special strengthening design features including a cast iron edge rail, heavy duty grating and eight bolts per metre. Sump unit and unions to sub-surface drainage connection. Internal width channels 100mm (S100), 150mm (S150), 200mm (S200) and 300mm (S300).
Hydraulic performance
The ACO S Range provides excellent hydraulic performance, signicantly greater than equivalent 100mm internal diameter pipes. As inow is possible all along the open channel, hydraulic performance can be complex to display, and is modied by a number of variables. Flow charts for constant depth channels, on 0.0% and 0.5% ground falls, are given on pages 5 and 6 of this catalogue. Details of ACOs computergenerated Hydraulic Design program are given in the ACO Technical Design Guide, offering a free service which can calculate ow performance for any site and channel conguration.
SF and DF option
Please note that all channels are available with an SF sealant groove. The double recess detail on the channel joint allows easy sealing between units. An option for draining porous asphalt (DF) is available for all constant depth S Range channels. Channels come with twelve cast-in side openings per metre to allow draining of porous asphalt surfaces. Both the SF and DF options are available on special request.

HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE TABLES
Design method
The examples given here demonstrate the general principles in the design of drainage schemes using ACO channel systems. A detailed design method for drainage channel with an in-built sloping invert is given below. The user can accurately design an ACO 100mm wide channel with a pre-sloped 0.6% fall to a maximum length of 30m to an outlet, and for any application where the channel grating is laid level. For combined ground falls with sloping invert channel systems and other complex topographical, asymmetric areas and unequal discharge factors, use of a sophisticated computer program such as that developed by ACO is required. Please contact ACOs Drain Design Services Department for further details. The design approach is essentially the same for both internal and external applications. In both cases, the total inow to the channel is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the channel length. For external applications, the length of the catchment area is measured in the direction of the channel run, while the depth is the greatest distance (on plan) which the water travels before entering the channel at right angles. Using historical data for the site location, the design rainfall intensity in mm/hour must be determined for a specic frequency (return period) and storm duration. Alternatively, it may be simpler to adopt the default rainfall intensity gure of 50mm/hour; this is one of the recommended rates of rainfall given in BS EN 752-4.
External applications
Design examples
46
34m D
Inow calculation Assuming the length of the channel is equal to the length of the catchment, then for the catchment length L (say 46m) and catchment depth D (say 34m):
q (inow per metre) = (D x L) x i 60 x 60 x L q = 46 x 34 x 50 60 x 60 x 46 q = 0.47 l/s/m
Once the design inow rate has been calculated, the Hydraulic Performance table (opposite page) can be used to identify a suitable sequence of channels. Using the Hydraulic Performance tables, select channel runs which would perform satisfactorily in the simplest and most effective way bearing in mind the practical and geometric constraints on the system. Select a Discharge Capacity on the hydraulic performance table that is greater than, or at least equal to, the calculated design ow rate. This will give a corresponding channel run or, in most cases, a choice of runs, which will perform satisfactorily under the given conditions. It is important to select a channel run which terminates with (ie. discharges from) a channel number which either has a pre-formed bottom outlet or which is able to mate satisfactorily to the ACO Sump Unit or Universal Gully.

For example some suitable sloping invert channel runs for a uniform design inow rate of 0.47 l/s/m would include the following (interpolating hydraulic performance table):
Channel numbers: Beginning End 3 3 3 1 30 25 20 10 Length of run (m) 28 23 18 10 Discharge capacity (l/s) 13.2 > 0.47 l/s/m 10.8 8.5 4.7

These three layout options give plan views and longitudinal sections of possible channel congurations, which allow for different outlet positions. There are many further variations which can be offered to enable outlet positions to be located at different positions on a site.

CHANNEL DRAINS
1.0 Ground Conditions The customer should ensure that the minimum dimensions shown are suitable for the existing ground conditions. Engineering advice may be necessary. 2.0 Block Pavements The channel must be supported laterally and therefore blocks must be restrained from movement by bedding securely e.g. by using a Polymer Modied Mortar for bed and perpendicular joints (for example RONAFIX Mortar Mix C from Ronacrete: Tel 01279 638700). Engineering advice may be required. 3.0 Surface Cracks Alternate crack control and movement joints transversely within bed and haunch may reduce unsightly surface cracking. 4.0 Joint Sealant Where ACO Drain channel joints and ttings are to be sealed (where used in foul water applications or where impermeability is required) contact a sealant specialist for guidance on the most appropriate sealing compound to use. 5.0 Surface Protection In asphalt pavements avoid contact between compaction equipment and channel/grating. This may be achieved by ensuring that the nished surface level lies above the grating level (by at least 3mm). Stones should be removed prior to laying/rolling wearing course. 6.0 Asphalt Pavement: Top of concrete haunch Y2 = 35mm maximum Y3 = 70mm maximum
