About the solution
Description
The Timesaver drain cast iron below ground system has been the first choice for under-building drainage for commercial, public and residential buildings since 1980.
- Cast iron has the proven strength and crush resistance to withstand the weight of the concrete and remain robust during the pouring process unlike the more volatile lighter-weight plastic materials which can require filling to weigh them down.
- Cast iron is not affected by the high temperatures generated during the pouring and curing process—which can reach temperatures in excess of 70°, depending on the volume of concrete.
- The cost of failure can be very high if concrete slabs require digging up to repair drainage failures.
Recommended Use
- Underbuilding drainage—encased in concrete
- Pipework to be laid in shallow trenches
- Under roads
- Unstable ground
- Ground containing methane
- Bridges
Dimensions
- 100, 150 and 225mm diameter pipes and fittings
- Two-piece ductile iron couplings
- Section thickness from 8-15mm
