Spilt Milk is no match for Polypipe’s Ridgistorm-XL System
but that’s what Polypipe faced in one recent project. When a historic dairy processor in
I
Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire needed to expand its delivery yard to cope with rising capacity, Polypipe supplied its large diameter Ridgistorm-XL system to provide long-lasting protection from stormwater and spillages. Gloucestershire remains one of most
susceptible counties in the UK for flooding, so it was crucial that the yard expansion at Cotteswold Dairy incorporated an appropriate water management solution to store and attenuate any excess surface water. Working closely with the project’s
Construction and cost management team, the main contractor, and consultant engineer from the early stages of the project, Polypipe supplied over 250m of Ridgistorm-XL piping to feed an engineered attenuation tank.
t’s not often that a manufacturer of drainage systems is asked to consider floods of milk within its system designs,
The entire system, sits beneath the
lorry park and discharges stormwater into a local watercourse. Traffic movement from the delivery fleet
has the potential to lead to milk spillages mixing with surface water before entering the drainage system. Due to the ability of milk to corrode metal, a cast iron or steel system was unsuitable, and to mitigate the problem plastic was selected as the preferred material. Polypipe’s Ridgistorm-XL system was the preferred choice due to its robust and reliable
Sundolitt’s improved performance XPS

Linden Homes has built properties in several prime locations throughout the UK. When it specified a flat roof for the new Greyfriars Quarter site in Gloucester, WJ Morley and Son proposed Wolfin’s Cosmofin for its strength and performance. Cosmofin is created using a
flexible PVC-P single ply roofing membrane to allow for excellent weathering. All Cosmofin membranes are reinforced and available with or without a fleece backing. Therefore the application can be altered for a variety of projects, for example those where the roof is mechanically fastened, adhered or loose laid and ballasted.

nature, along with a design life in excess of 100 years. Polypipe’s ability to pre-fabricate the system off-site ensured that installation could commence immediately upon delivery, reducing time, labour and cost savings that traditional system, couldn’t match. The expertise and engineering capability of Polypipe’s team was most visible in the project’s Ridgistorm-XL attenuation tank. The tank incorporated a RIDGISTORM Check Vortex Flow Control Chamber, as well as 10 fabricated fittings, including 90° bends and double T sections to control the discharge of water from the tank at a consistent rate in to an existing watercourse. The spigot design of the pipes and fittings
made pipe alignment simple and fully compatible with the electro-fusion jointing method. For more information please visit the website or call the technical team.
