Store St. Youghal drained with Monotec
Recyfix Monotec drains Store Street project in Youghal. Cork County Council chose it for its lightweight, high capacity, and fast installation as well as being a monolithic drainage system.
One of the biggest challenges of the project was to find the most suitable drainage solution that would solve the following issues:
• Strength, min D400 loading. • Robustness, suitable for vans and trucks twisting/turning on it. • Larger than usual drainage capacity. • Heel-safe for pedestrians. • Corrosion resistant because of its close proximity to the sea. • Ready to take a high volume of car traffic and trucks doing deliveries. • Aesthetically pleasing.
The Recyfix Monotec channel was proposed & approved because it met all of the conditions above.
Light, sturdy, easy to install
“We are extremely happy with the way in which the product has performed since installation on the road network” – says Michael Lucey, Engineer from Cork County Council. – The Monotec looks very smart in place, and it does a great job in keeping the area free of water lodging or stagnant water on the surface which is the ultimate goal for road drainage.
Another major advantage for the construction company installing the channels was how easy they were to install as they are significantly lighter than channels made of mineral material.
“From an installation point of view, the installers liked working with the product as it is lightweight therefore leading to fast installation and itʼs easy to transport around site” – ads Michael Lucey. – This makes them especially easy to transport and aides for a fast accurate installation.
Example: Monotec 100 Type 230 weighs 8.21kg compared to a Polymer Concrete Channel at approx. 31.5kg.
