Design skills help steel UK sites to stormwater problems

With the widest range of pipe sizes (0.3m to 3.6m diameter) and stormwater attenuation tank sizes (from 0.6m diameter) in the industry, manufactured in thicknesses from 1.5mm to 3.5mm, Tubosider has the capacity to design solutions to match any project. Using the above details as an example, it first determines the steel thickness required to accommodate the height of cover, loading criteria, design life and environmental classification – in this case 1.5mm.

With a volume of storage of 550 cubic meters and an available area of 42 x 15 meters, the best available solution using a 1.8m diameter tank (giving an end area of 2.54 sq m) would be 550/2.545 = 216.110 linear meters, designed as a manifold of five parallel tanks.

Backed by on-site support, Tubosider helibore pipes and tanks are installed in accordance with Highways Agency standard BD12/01, details of which can be obtained from its head office (tel: 01744 452901).
