Utilising the skills of our in-house Fabrications Team we can offer customers a complete range of bespoke fittings, reducers, bends and attachments to the standard Ridgistorm-XL pipe.
Our bespoke fittings enable the Ridgistorm-XL system to be connected to variety of other applications, including concrete chambers and steel carriage pipes. Reducers and bespoke bends also facilitate the integration of Ridgistorm-XL into existing drainage networks.
Large Diameter Manholes
Ridgistorm-XL pipe can be used in the construction of bespoke large diameter manholes for use in both surface water and foul sewer applications. The Ridgistorm-XL range can also be manufactured with integral manhole access to offer a complete pipeline solution with maintenance access.
Bespoke and off-set manholes
The flexibility and adaptability of the Ridgistorm-XL system, alongside the experience and capability of our in-house Fabrications Team enables us to design and manufacture bespoke manholes to meet site requirements. Off-set manholes can be integrated into a Ridgistorm-XL pipeline or attenuation system to provide easier maintenance access to the system. This utilises a unique step feature within the construction of the manhole to reduce the need for direct access into the pipe with improved health and safety benefits, particularly in foul sewers.
Water Framework Directive
The new Water Framework Directive (WFD) which is due to be initiated within the UK in 2009 requires Engineers, Contractors and Developers to consider the issue of water quality on-site before discharging to the sewer or drainage system.
Manholes constructed from rigid materials such as concrete have suffered with leakage issues and integrity. Ridgistorm-XL reduces the number of leakage points within the manhole and offers exceptional seal tightness. Specifying a Ridgistorm-XL manhole enables customers to work with us towards WFD compliance, ahead of the full introduction of the WFD in 2015.
