Application

Suitable for blue roof and warm green roofing applications.

Description

A system for blue roofs including components such as a diffuser, storage tank and flow restrictor.

The ACO RoofBloxx geocellular tank is a shallow, high-strength, height variable storage void, that can be used with the RoofBloxx Cell structural drainage sheet and blue roof flow restrictor to give a complete blue roof attenuation system.

ACO offers a Blue Roof Flow Restrictor and Overflow as a means of safely controlling the rate of runoff from a blue roof, without overloading the roof structure.

The ACO Blue Roof Diffuser and Access Unit is a modular stackable frame and riser system that is designed to be used with the ACO RoofBloxx range for blue green roofs and podium decks. It can be used as an access unit as well as an inlet diffuser with combined shallow silt trap. Available with an 85 mm base frame and 165 mm raising pieces the unit can accommodate 68–150 mm diameter pipe connections

Features and benefits:

  • Suitable for blue and warm green roof systems.
  • Easy access and maintenance.
  • Recyclable.
  • Dissipates high water flows.
