ACO KlassikDrain - A Klassik story for an expanding family business

ACO KlassikDrain

The De Bortoli winery and vineyard is located at Dixons Creek just 8 kilometres along the Melba Highway, from the small township of Yarra Glen.

The property was purchased by the De Bortoli family in 1987 and since then they have added another 150 hectares of grapes to the original 13 hectares. Today it has the distinction of being the large winery in the Yarra Valley.

For two decades, the winery has undergone regular expansion and upgrades in line with its growing success.

At the various construction stages, ACO KlassikDrain (100mm wide) trench drain from Australian manufacturer, ACO Polycrete , was installed.

For years, composite, ductile iron and galvanised grates were selected for various parts of the facility, dependant on the application.

One among the recent installations is in the barrel store rooms, where the drainage system is used to collect spills as well as support regular traffic.

The ACO KlassikDrain system is fitted with Class D210kN (AS3996) Slotted ductile iron grates and locked with QuickLok boltless mechanisms for the quick fitting and removal of grates, ideal for regular cleaning operations.

One among the key reasons why ACO KlassikDrain is constantly specified for Australian wineries is for its well-known ease of rapid installation.

Modular precast systems require 4 steps, whereas traditional cast in situ trench drains require a rigorous 8 step process.

The trench system comprises interlocking precast channels made from polymer concrete, a resin composite with high corrosion resistance. For most systems, each unit is sloped to allow for the efficient removal of surface liquids from level slabs.

Channels also come complete with integrally cast wearing edges and have smooth impervious walls to ensure liquids are transferred quickly and safely to the secondary stage of drainage.

When taking into account labour, material costs and advantage of the finished appearance, ACO Polycrete’s precast trench drain systems are the ideal choice for wineries and breweries.
