Long term easy access into the system for maintenance
Watertight joints to both pipes and manholes, including load bearing seals
Established and proven product range that is a quality assured and kitemarked
Inherent structural strength of concrete with an 120 year design life
Systems can be designed to suit most structural and hydraulic specification including installation under roads
