Quality Control of Drainage Systems

Quality Control of Drainage Systems

The ACO brand worldwide stands for the uncompromising quality and performance commitment of the ACO Group. One of their core business activities is drainage. The construction, protection and preservation of traffic routes is an important future topic and is one of the big infrastructural challenges worldwide. ACO solutions guarantee maximum security on traffic areas and industrial territories. Gutters, gratings, drainages and manhole covers from ACO are designed for extreme loads and special installation conditions. ACO sets standards in quality, innovation and safety, shapes the standardization and even goes beyond.

ACO relies on customer-specific solutions from FORM+TEST for the control of these standards at covers and supports for traffic areas acc. to DIN EN 124 . In close collaboration a test system was designed for a location in Great Britain. This machine was adapted to ACO’s increased quality requirements and their extremely wide test spectrum. The compression test machine is provided with additional options to allow an efficient, user-friendly and  very precise testing procedure. A hydraulically moveable transport device, the automated changing system for devices as well as the universal test software “Proteus MT” are examples for it. For the safety of the test personnel the machine is provided with a modified safety device. After a successful installation, commissioning, training and DAkkS-calibration the test machine could be left to the customer.
