Anchorwood Bank is a major regeneration project which will see the creation of an exciting new riverside quarter for living and shopping next to the town centre.
The extensive plans include a new ASDA store, new homes and additional retail and leisure space. The retail park will comprise four large, high-quality retail units and three restaurant units with outside seating areas and car parking.
As with all large projects, the developers were faced with strict time and budget constraints. Polypipe CGU’s water company adoptable Ridgisewer system provided a host of benefits to contractor Andrew Scott when considered against a traditional solution.
There is growing adoption of plastic-based solutions in the commercial development market, as specifier and contractors look for modern solutions. With such deep excavations needed for sewer pipes, installation can sometimes be difficult and lengthy. Ridgisewer offers a simpler and quicker installation process with push seal joints, and, as a result, it provides a greater level of safety for the contractor team.
As less time is required on-site for installation, and there is no need for costly rockers and stubs, Ridgisewer also proved more cost-effective than the concrete alternative. To meet the developer’s requirement, Polypipe CGU supplied 147 metres of Ridgisewer in 400mm and 600mm diameters in standard three metre lengths. Ridgisewer is available in six sizes from 400-900mm and includes a complete system of couplings, seals, bends, junctions, specialist fabrications and saddles. The contractor was able to draw upon the UK’s largest and most complete range of sewer systems, supplied by Polypipe CGU.
