Overview
Across the world the construction of drainage systems using pre-cast elements is being replaced by insitu slipform construction.
The reasons are quite simple and unambiguous:-
· Wholly mechanised process free from manual handling
· Reduced cost
· High productivity
· Rigorous process quality control
· Improved product durability
· Flexibility with minimal radii achieved with ease
· Reduced environmental impact
Extrudakerb are able to provide a wealth of experience for the design and construction of insitu slipform drainage systems. Extrudakerb are able to advise contractors how to best make use of the many advantages of the slipform process and accelerate programme but reduce costs.
Extrudakerb offer a range of insitu concrete drainage systems; being an equipment manufacturer as well as a contractor they can offer bespoke moulds and paver set up configurations to suit any application.
Insitu drainage systems are typically constructed prior to adjacent carriageway surfacing on top of a sub base foundation with the depth of the insitu product being equal to the depth of pavement.
Insitu drainage details can though be constructed against fully or partially constructed pavement.
Typically a 35N concrete is proposed although higher strength mixes are available if required.
