FP McCann concrete pipes offer cost and carbon effective solution to M42 link road project

DN1200 concrete pipes, from FP McCann, were used recently to offer protection for mains water diverted as part of a new road link scheme in the M42.The road link, at junction 6 of the M42 near Solihull, is part of a main £143M contract with Highways England being delivered by Skanska.

Specifying a cost-effective and sustainable pipe bedding

One thing often misunderstood in drainage pipeline bedding design, is the wide range of bedding options available for specifiers. Without proper guidance and assessment of available options, the likelihood of missing out on the most cost-effective ones is always high. Structural design of pipeline installations involves dealing with three main types of load: The weight of the trench-fill, loads transmitting to the pipe from the surface such as traffic, and the supporting reaction from the ground under the pipe.

Adopting Concrete Drainage Reduces Whole Life Carbon

MPA Precast has published the results of a comparison study into the whole life carbon impact of concrete and equivalent plastic pipes, highlighting that concrete is the low carbon choice...

MPA Precast currently offers industry professionals the choice of four accredited CPD presentations. All the presentations can be offered as a free seminar at your local office or at a suitable location. CPD certificates are available to all attendees.
