Transport infrastructure is considered to be one of the main
drivers behind economic development in the UK and around the globe. Britain’s
roads literally keep the nation moving; but too much water with nowhere to go
can bring it to a standstill.
Alumasc Water Management Solutions comes to Highways
UK, at the NEC Birmingham on 7th and 8th
November 2018, with a complete range of highway drainage solutions to
future-proof water management. They will be exhibiting at stand C16, alongside
composite steel reinforced pipe manufacturers, AquaSpira.
Launching FILCOTEN® One and re-introducing FILCOTEN® Green after development, Alumasc
strives to deliver the next move in highway water management, that will allow
road planners and builders to build for the future, today.
The revolutionary FILCOTEN® One exemplifies how simple ideas are
often the best. For the first time, this one-piece channel and grating drain
has been made from FILCOTEN®
High Performance Concrete (HPC), combining innovation with sustainability.
Durable, 100% recyclable, lightweight and extremely low greenhouse gas emission
levels all make it beneficial for both the industry and the environment.
After intensive research and development, FILCOTEN® Green now clears surface water of
pollutants more efficiently than ever, protecting the natural water cycle with
lasting effect. A new nominal width of 400mm and an optimized drainage channel,
drainage and retention capacities have been considerably increased to offer
sustainability and efficiency in perfect harmony.
Alongside these, Alumasc will also be exhibiting its
state-of-the-art core favourites from the Gatic Slotdrain range, including
Gatic CastSlot & UltraSlot. This unobtrusive drainage solution is designed
specifically to perform under the pressure of constant, slow turning traffic.
Where loads are heavy, Slotdrain is now a trusted staple in surface water
drainage.
AquaSpira
CSR pipes are uniquely suited to new and existing highway applications. The
steel reinforced structure of the pipe wall provides predictable long-term
stability in the most arduous of highway locations. The minimal OD of AquaSpira
CSR pipes allows pipes to be installed within the smallest footprint in the
highway, minimizing excavation and disruption to the road surface and other
buried utilities. Efficient installation reduces programme time significantly,
and with 60% fewer deliveries to site.
Michael White, Business Development Director at
Alumasc Water Management Solutions commented: “As the industry undergoes
constant flux and disruption, the way we move people and goods around is
changing. The expectation is that productivity in the highway industry will
improve, become more efficient, deliver higher quality service for road users,
an improved network across the country- and do all this in the most
environmentally friendly way possible. High quality, innovative water
management solutions are vital to be able to achieve this and to keep this
progression going.
“We at Alumasc are working toward solutions that
deliver on these expectations and more. We are very excited to be exhibiting at
Highways UK and look forward eagerly to seeing other future-proofers in the
industry there.”
Uniting those responsible for planning, designing,
operating and future-proofing the UK’s road networks, Highways UK is a major
event for innovators of new product technology and systems that keep the UK
moving.
