Oil & Gas Industry
Efficient drainage is essential in many oil and gas applications from manufacturing and processing to storage. ACO's options for chemical resistance, flame retardency and temperature resistance materials can ensure optimal performance in addition to exceeding load requirements. The processing industries such as petrochemical, oil, gas and coal require surface drainage in areas restricted to chemicals as well as providing surface drainage for water collected in run offs. Tanker filling locations, plant bunding, as well as wash down or maintenance facilities all benefit from drainage specialized for heavy duty applications.

MonoBloc
Monolithic DrainsGrate-free polymer concrete channels built for high and heavy traffic. Monolithic build leads to increased security, stability, and EN1433 A–E load support.
QMax
Slotted High-Capacity DrainsMDPE, high-capacity trench drain channels with heavy-duty slotted railing. EN1433 A–F loading supports projects such as airports (airside) with high demands.
Oil-Water Separators
Stormwater TreatmentPolymer concrete and polyethylene separators capable of removing oil and suspended solids from wastewater. Multiple capacities and flow rates available.
Spill Containment Curbs
Spill RetentionDurable, low-maintenance polymer concrete barrier for containing hazardous spills in industrial and chemical storage areas. Sloped for forklift traffic.
Aquaduct Trench
Custom Trench DrainsFully custom trench drain systems tailored to complex project requirements that standard systems can’t meet.
Aquaduct Double Containment
Leak Detection SystemTrench drains with advanced leak detection and prevention for high-risk environments. Leaks are captured between monitored dual trenches.
Aquaduct Former System
Custom Trench FormerCost-effective, reusable solution for shaping concrete trench systems with precision. Fiberglass formers can be removed and reused after concrete cures.
Considerations
Loading
- Extraordinary heavy loads may be present and require a drainage system and grate with a minimum Load Rating of Class F
- Monolithic systems (Monoblok) or those cast into the slab (Qmax) may be required to withstand dynamic loads
Application
- High capacity intake grates may be required if large volumes are present
- Wastewater may contain hydrocarbons and/or chemicals and chemical resistance and post collection treatment may be necessary
- Non-metallic systems offer increased chemical resistance as we as non-magnetic properties
- Slip resistant grates may be required in pedestrian access areas
- Aquaduct custom trench drains are also available for unique applications
Areas with large run-off volumes may be ideal for modular water storage such as ACO StormBrixx
