Drainage products specialist drainage 7049 Kijlstra is introducing a novel push-fit drainage solution. This new jointing system allows fast assembly of drainage systems, reducing construction time.

The new culverts from Kijlstra can help speed construction and civils installations and feature a novel rubber-sealed, push-fit jointing system. This is said to make installation quicker and simpler and avoids the need to apply primer and a jointing material to achieve a watertight finish, as with conventional units.

The precast concrete box culverts are designed to withstand heavy road loadings and are said to combine strength with durability, with the individual sealed joints eliminating the need for any grouting on site.

Designed to BS-Eurocode guidelines BS-EN 1990/1991/1992 using Load Models LM1 and LM2 for a design life of up to 100 years, the culverts are manufactured from poured monolithic self-compacting concrete giving a high-quality finish and optimum hydraulic characteristics. The C40/50 concrete is rated to the highest sulphate resistance exposure class XA3 for use in highly aggressive chemical environments.

Available in a large range of standard sizes up to 2m, bespoke options are also offered.

    Soil stabilisation with the BOMAG RS 300 tractor-towed stabilizer.

    In the Belgian city of Ostend, soil stabilisation with lime was required for 4,000 square metres of future industrial space. The Verhelst Aannemingen company was commissioned to carry out the work. The Ostend-based family business used the BOMAG RS 300 tractor-towed stabilizer for the first time.
