Stanton Bonna Super Gully wows the crowds at highways show
Stanton Bonna exhibited at the Highway UK event this month at the NEC and showcased some new innovations in offsite precast, specifically for road and motorway projects.
One of the key innovative products highlighted was the SUPER GULLY which has recently been trialled on a project by Surrey County Council. Not only was it a popular talking point at the event but it has been reported as one of the “Top 8 Products from Highways UK 2017” by Tanya Preston, an industry expert.
The innovative SUPER GULLY has been developed as an effective, low maintenance, high capacity kerbside stormwater management system to rapidly remove water from highways prone to flooding.
SUPER GULLY was created to help overcome common issues with highway flooding including:
- Flooding at low lying areas
- Lack of regular highways maintenance
- Failure of carrier pipes to cope with extreme rainfall conditions
- No real alternative to road gullies.
The development of SUPER GULLY has been a collaborative project between Surrey County Council highways engineers, Stanton Bonna’s technical team and PAM Saint Gobain.
This group of experts helped provide valuable knowledge and experience while using the latest technology, including 3D drawings, to produce the first prototype. After a series of tests the result is now an innovative system that provides an effective solution to key highway rainwater management problems.
SUPER GULLY is an ideal system for use on new developments working with carrier pipes as part of the stormwater system. It can be installed within the kerb line or just within the road channel to provide surface water drainage for many other areas including motorways, railways, car parks, airports and runways, industrial estates, distribution yards and bus stations.
In troublesome areas, the SUPER GULLY can be installed in groups – initial units designed to take the silt and sediment and further units designed to take the water. Ask the Stanton Bonna team for further details.
The images here show installation of the trial Super Gully. Units now feature slimline kerb/chute units and ironwork adjusting units.
