Part 4 of the ullswater project installing Aco drains

ACO Drainage, Channel Drainage or Linear Drainage is a method of draining surface water from hard surfaces such as tarmac or paving, using a long narrow drain covered by a grating which drains water along its entire length.

Shouldn’t the long pipe have more degrees downwards?

Not with Arco drainage as the outflow is at the bottom. Hope this helps.

I understand the water fslls through the roster, but won't sand and stuff flow better whan its on as few degrees angled downward to the main system.

[@DerekDuimel]

Or do you mean the pipes sips water into the earth as a sort of Hybrid?

[@Yogoniogi]
