How it works for you

Reduced Program

  • Better by design: maximum online storage = minimum offline tanks
  • Quick & efficient installation using light weight, sealed, push-fit pipes and access units
  • Access units save days of construction time for each manhole

Minimal Footprint

  • Smallest pipe OD and trench width available
  • Access units fit within the same narrow trench

Maximum Capacity

  • Pipes and access units up to 2250mmØ easily fit within the road
  • Up to 4m³ storage per metre

Safe Environment for Homeowners

  • No above ground water hazards
  • Simple online systems = reduced risk of blockage and maintenance
  • Maintenance easily undertaken in the public highway, not in POS areas
  • Eliminates risk of odours from stagnant water in ponds & swales

Ideal for Brownfield

  • Fully sealed pipe & access system
  • No ingression of contaminated groundwater
  • Reduced excavation of potentially contaminated ground
  • Excellent chemical resistance

Carbon Reduction

  • 25% less excavation*
  • 60% fewer deliveries*
  • Optimum utilisation of land, minimising greenfield land-take

*compared to equivalent size concrete pipe

Long-Term Performance

  • BS EN 752 Compliant: ‘Inspect, Maintain, Clean and Remove Debris’
  • Single flow-path for optimal self-cleansing
  • 120 year design life

National, Regional, and Local Housebuilders are experiencing the benefits
