PROJECT INSIGHT
Hauraton Surface Drainage And Service Channel Systems Installed At Central Park, Avonmouth At 600 acres, Central Park, Avonmouth, Bristol is a warehouse and distribution development, strategically located between the M49 motorway on its Eastern boundary and the A403 to the West. A 40 acre site has been built by Berberry, a privately owned property development and investment company based in the West Midlands. They demanded the contractors achieve the highest environmental standards for the surface water drainage systems installed. With areas designated for HGV access and hard standing, car parks and areas accessed by smaller commercial vehicles, the road and yard surfaces employed included concrete, asphalt and block paving. This meant various types of surface channelling were required to ensure the drainage needs of the site. Hauraton systems;

RECYFIX® HICAP®, FASERFIX® SUPER, RECYFIX® MONOTEC and ENVIROKERB were chosen to meet the drainage requirements. FASERFIX® SERVICE channel was also specified to house cables and coolant pipe-work. All the channels supplied are made of recycled polypropylene with fixed ductile iron, 14mm open slot inlets finished with KTL, a rust resistant coating. The HICAP system has proved in similar applications to resist the weight (up to 44 tonnes) and twisting forces of HGV wheels. www.drainage-projects.co.uk
