Application

Suitable applications:

  • Underbuilding drainage—encased in concrete.
  • Pipework to be laid in shallow trenches.
  • Under roads.
  • Unstable ground.
  • Ground containing methane.
  • Bridges.

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.

Features and benefits:

  • 100, 150 and 225 mm diameter pipes and fittings.
  • Two piece ductile iron couplings.
  • Section thickness from 8–15 mm.
  • Range of traditional British Standard fittings:
    • Bellmouth gullies/ inlets.
    • Gully traps.
    • Raising pieces.
    • Anti-flooding traps.
  • Exceptional crush resistance—vastly superior to other materials:
    • Timesaver BS 437:2008.
    • Clay: 40 kN/m.
    • Plastic: 6 kN/m.
    • Timesaver: 150 kN/m.
  • Robust strength:
    • To withstand over-vigorous rodding/jetting.
    • Can be installed where the ground is unstable.
    • Can be installed in shallow trenches.
  • Less bedding materials required saving cost:
    • Can be laid in 'as dug' trenches.
    • Fit and forget speed and efficiency.
  • Benefits of cast iron:
    • A2, S1 Fire rated non-combustible system.
    • Excellent acoustic properties.
    • Minimal expansion.
    • Strong and robust.
  • Excellent environmental properties:
    • Made from up to 99% recycled content.
    • 100% recyclable.
    • Exceptional service life.
