Pipeline and Drainage Systems Company Profile
Pipeline and Drainage Systems Plc (PDS) was established in 2000 and is a leading provider of bridge, kerb and channel drainage solutions throughout the UK and further afield. As a market leader, the company has the capability to provide a total drainage solution for numerous projects from the initial design process through to supply and installation. PDS has worked alongside many clients such as contractors, councils, local authorities, highways agencies and developers offering bespoke, cost effective solutions for small and large projects.
PDS originally developed the renowned ductile iron bridge drainage system, Hydrodeck, which has been specified on many major bridge projects across the world. In more recent times, PDS has recognised the advantages that lightweight products offer, reducing installation times and increasing on-site safety. Many products including the Envirokerb are manufactured from fully recycled plastic which is an environmentally-friendly alternative to more traditional materials.
Services
To ensure successful drainage, it is vital that the correct specification of products is carried out. PDS provides a full hydraulic design service via a team of skilled and experienced designers. This service is free of charge and the team can assist the client to ensure the contract includes the most cost-effective and hydraulically efficient depth-to-width drainage unit. Once the correct drainage unit has been specified, PDS can design the layout for bridges and roads which includes schematic schedules, CAD drawings and interactive DVD presentations. The website also contains detailed information on installation programmes for advice and compliance and a Scheme Builder tool that finds out how the pipeline and drainage system range of products can meet specific project requirements. All units are tested to a single loading class (Group D400).
Products
PDS has developed a wide range of drainage solutions which are lightweight, low maintenance, durable, cost-effective and highly efficient. The systems can aid customers with Health and Safety compliance and ensure faster and easier installation times. Products include:
EnviroKerb
EnviroKerb is a lightweight, strong and easy-to-install drainage system manufactured from recycled plastic, reducing the weight by up to 70% compared to traditional concrete kerbs. EnviroKerb has a standard 305mm depth and weighs just 15kg, for simple manual handling. The one-piece design eliminates any secondary operation of joining two components and is available with a standard end for butt joints or a positive interlock between each module with the use of preformed joints. EnviroKerb is specified for motorway, trunk road, car park and urban area kerb drainage projects.
EnviroChannel
EnviroChannel is a fully recycled, one-piece drainage channel that provides a strong and robust solution for linear drainage and surface water drainage on roads, urban areas and retail parks. EnviroChannel’s one-piece design eliminates the risk of loose or stolen gratings, a common problem with traditional drainage channels and is 30 times stronger than the equivalent concrete units. EnviroChannel is virtually indistinguishable from concrete units and will blend with existing materials. The composite material is fully resistant to all chemicals in petrol, diesel and oil and is unaffected by road salts.
EnviroDeck
EnviroDeck is manufactured from a composite non-metallic material, resulting in a 50% reduction in weight compared to traditional metallic drainage units. The single piece unit provides surface and sub-surface drainage on bridges where the depth available for installation is lower than for carriageways. EnviroDeck features a unique anti-slip pattern which is beneficial for pedestrian access bridges and has a high quality glass-like finish that gives a more efficient hydraulic flow.
ITkerb
The ITkerb is a 100% recycled plastic kerbing which eliminates the requirement to dig trenches and disrupt roads and pathways when laying cables. Cables are run through a secure conduit within the kerb unit, making it possible to bring cabling right to a customer’s door with easy to install connections.
EnviroChambers
EnviroChambers are a comprehensive range of one-piece moulded manhole chamber sections that are used by utility companies and the construction industry. Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, the chamber sections are ideal for manhole chambers, composite manhole covers for fire hydrants, SV valves and sewage chambers.
EnviroGrate
EnviroGrate has been developed to eliminate the problem of theft which is associated with traditional metal grates. EnviroGrate is manufactured from a unique composite material which is derived from recycled products. The grate is available in a wide range of sizes and can be secured with silicon sealant to further prevent theft or vandalism. EnviroGrate can be cut to size on-site and is designed to tolerate the weight of heavy goods vehicles.
Dri-Deck
Dri-Deck is a sub-surface drainage system that can be used in conjunction with EnviroDeck and HydroDeck combined kerb drainage systems. The Dri-Deck system consists of three stages: a high strength ductile iron channel, ABS heat resistant outlet fittings and a wide range of beneath deck pipes. Available in one metre sections, Dri-Deck provides continuous sub-surface water collection either along kerb lines or transversely along the deck and includes T-pieces, bends and cross sections to allow for numerous drainage designs. PDS can also offer advice, designs and supply on carrier pipes beneath the deck in a wide range of materials including UPVC, polyethylene and cast ductile iron.
EnviroCover
PDS manufactures a range of composite petrol forecourt covers on behalf of specialists within the field. The composite covers are available in sizes from 450mm x 450mm square to 900mm circular. All covers are compliant with all relevant standards and loadings.
PDS is committed to providing a wide range of drainage solutions which are cost effective, durable and environmentally friendly. The design team has the knowledge and experience to specify the most appropriate solution to make any drainage project more efficient and compliant with Health and Safety requirements. All products are manufactured to European standards set out in the EN1433.
