Polydrain Civils launches innovative 450mm Catchpit Chambers
Polydrain Civils has introduced a ground breaking addition to its drainage solutions portfolio with the launch of 450mm catchpit chambers, designed to integrate seamlessly with 160mm sewer pipework and 150mm twinwall pipework. These chambers are set to revolutionise how civil engineers and contractors address stormwater and wastewater management challenges, offering a combination of functionality, durability, and ease of installation.
What is a Catchpit Chamber?
A catchpit chamber is a vital component in drainage systems, acting as a sediment and debris trap to prevent blockages in downstream pipework. By allowing water to flow through while collecting silt, leaves, and other debris in a lower chamber, catchpits play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of drainage networks.
Features of the New 450mm Catchpit Chambers
Polydrain Civils’ new 450mm catchpit chambers are designed with modern construction needs in mind:
- Engineered to connect with 160mm sewer pipework and 150mm twinwall pipework, the chambers cater to a wide range of drainage applications
- The 450mm diameter makes these chambers ideal for confined spaces, without compromising on capacity or performance
- Manufactured from robust, high-quality materials, the chambers are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and heavy loads
- The lightweight construction and modular design reduce installation time and labour costs, making them a cost-effective solution for projects of all sizes
Applications and Benefits
The 450mm catchpit chambers are suitable for various applications, including:
- Effective in capturing debris and silt from surface runoff, ensuring that water flows freely into sewer or attenuation systems
- Ideal for separating solids from liquid waste in sewer networks, reducing the risk of blockages and subsequent maintenance costs
- Perfect for use in residential, commercial, and industrial developments where space and efficiency are critical
