Surface water drainage from the hard landscaping of a prestigious office development near the centre of Nottingham, together with the basement level car park, has required the shallow invert depth offered by ACO Fulbora's Deckline high performance channel system.

The superstructure contractor of Castle Wharf specified Deckline because it is specially manufactured with an invert of just 50mm, making it an ideal solution to areas where there is a limited construction depth.

Deckline features within the hard landscaping of the property's public terrace to provide perimeter and cross drainage.   It has been set into the concrete deck of the underground car park to ensure the circulation areas and parking bays are kept clear of water.  

The Deckline channel lengths were set on a sand and cement screed before the York stone was laid to falls around them. Deckline was specified with plain mesh gratings to provide an attractive finish in both areas.

A spokesperson for John Doyle Construction, said: "We proposed the use of ACO Fulbora Deckline to the project managers and architects because we have confidence in the system and it is competitively priced.   There were no problems with either the supply or the installation of the Deckline."

ACO Fulbora Deckline is available in austenitic stainless steel grades 304 - specified at Castle Wharf - or 316 for chemically aggressive environments. Castle Wharf is occupied by British Telecommunications plc and was built by Wates Construction.
