CIRIA publishes structural design information for modular geocellular drainage tanks

Date: 5th January 2009

CIRIA has produced Guidance Document C680 "Structural design of modular geocellular drainage tanks". This document has been produced to ensure that engineers have the required information to establish that a proposed underground structure is capable of remaining structurally sound and operational in trafficked situations over the lifetime of the construction.

C680 asserts that engineers should satisfy themselves of the suitability of the proposed construction, and not rely on manufacturer's recommendations.

SEL Permavoid has been fully tested in accordance with the requirements of C680 and we can, if required, provide structural calculations for SEL Permavoid tanks within our designs from an independent consultant. For further information on C680 see the CIRIA website or contact the Althon sales office.

Althon has secured an order to supply the SEL Source Control System for Phase 1 of the Northfield Retail Park at Rotherham. Phase 1 of the project includes a new store for B & Q.

Althon and SEL take part in Protection and Prevent

Following the floods of 2007 the Government ordered a review of the causes and what actions are required in order to prevent disasters of this magnitude happening again.

This event has been organised to look at issues such as the recommendations from the Pitt Review and how they will drive change.

We are pleased to be exhibiting at Ecobuild 2008

We hope that you will be able to visit us. We will be launching some new Sustainable Products at the show. Come along and visit us at Earl's Court on the 26th, 27th and 28th of February.
