Climate change is causing increasingly prolonged dry periods. During these times, debris, leaves, and flower petals accumulate along highway and bridge edges. When heavy rainfall occurs, contaminants are swept toward the drainage system by water flow. On highways and bridges, it is essential that cover slots are wide and offer a large intake cross-section to minimize the risk of blockages and prevent aquaplaning.
Safety is also a critical factor. Covers are exposed to both static and dynamic loads from passing vehicles and must therefore be extremely durable.
With the innovative ACO Multitop Aqua Plus product line, hydraulic performance and safety on highways and bridges are redefined. Extra-wide slots and optimized intake cross-sections improve debris capture, reduce blockages, and significantly lower aquaplaning risks. The two-way locking system ensures maximum security, featuring a single-sided hinge with a rotating lock, complemented by a screwless locking mechanism.
