High capacity surface water drainage for Primark Distribution Centre, Kettering
T
he Primark Distribution Centre, near Kettering was developed by London Metric Property Plc. Known
as Thunderbird 2 the £77 million facility comprises a 93,000m2
warehouse, some
5,000m² of office space and 50,000m² of hard standing with parking for 175 HGVs and 530 cars. A major earthworks operation was necessary to level the ground and create the vast plateau on which the building and hard standings were constructed. With such a large hard standing area an effective surface water drainage system was essential. Having supplied high capacity surface
water drainage channels for hard-standing areas at numerous distribution centres thorough out the UK, Hauraton were confident their RECYFIX®
HICAP® high
capacity channels would comply with the stringent specification asked for by the contractors. It was decided to drain the hard standing
area using four sizes of RECYFIX® HICAP®
– 100, 200, 300 and 680 because of their overall volume capacities. As well as straight runs of 100 and 200 channels, the 200, 300 and 680 sizes were installed in a step fall arrangement providing an enhanced water volume for these runs of 366,324 litres per metre (l/m). All the sizes supplied had fixed ductile iron, 14mm open slot inlets finished with KTL, a rust resistant coating. All 1229 metres of RECYFIX®
HICAP®
channel installed complied with loading category Class F900 (900kN). In addition some 200m of Hauraton KS 100 channel with
FASERFIX®
HEELSAFE ductile iron gratings were also installed in the site car parks requiring a loading category of Class C250 (250kN). The gratings were also specified with a KTL coating.
