system not only met those objectives but
added wider value.
At £36 million, Connecting Derby is one of the most ambitious projects ever
undertaken in the city. With its objective to improve transport links in and
around the city, designers focused on developing a value engineered solution
that considered every aspect of installation, operation and maintenance.
The versatility of the ACO KerbDrain® range meant just one system could be
used for all the individual highway applications - bus stops, roundabouts,
pedestrian crossings etc – ensuring consistent high product quality, optimum
drainage performance and minimal ongoing maintenance costs as only one
product range needs to be held in the city’s stock yards.

The UK’s longest in shore road tunnel on the A3 at Hindhead has been
constructed to protect and preserve the environmentally sensitive Devil’s
Punch Bowl. In line with the project’s demanding sustainability and
performance targets, ACO KerbDrain® was selected to provide the drainage
for each bore of the 1.8km tunnel. In addition to the environmental benefits
of its construction material, Vienite®, ACO KerbDrain’s one-piece design
meant it could be easily sealed during installation. Sealing prevents any
potentially hazardous liquids leaking into the surrounding soil and, by doing
it faster, speeds installation, lowering total carbon used.
