“Our design team was able to value engineer the whole attenuation requirement into just one tank, partly because
we could put the tank in the loading bay under the concrete slab - not something many people would chose to do with
crate products, which has led to many well documented failures” says Paul Wagnell. “With Tubosider, putting the tank
under the concrete slab is no problem because the product is designed to BD12 Highways Agency standards for full
highways loading.”
As a result, Warwick Burt was able to remain in budget and meet the new higher attenuation level demanded by climate
change with a single, Tubosider prefabricated tank fitted with one flow regulator and separator, all with the added benefit
of manhole accessibility for inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, the speed and simplicity of its installation meant
less disruption to the site, making it easier for other construction work to be carried out while the tank was being installed,
as Jonathan Smith confirms:
“I’ve never been a fan of crate systems, and we will now be using Tubosider wherever required. They dealt with the
Environment Agency issues, provided good technical back-up including adjusting the manifold to needs on the ground,
and also recommended a local drainage subcontractor to us,” he says.
