The best thing about getting to March is the realisation that the worst of Winter chills are behind us and brighter, warmer days are ahead. That means people out enjoying the better weather together. Taking a stroll through the town or the parks and taking a pause here and there to just enjoy being out. It’s time to get those public spaces ready and talk to Killeshal about Quality Street Furniture.
We have surely reached the point where we realise that we all need to take steps to add more green or eco-friendly thinking into our daily lives. Increasing numbers of commuters and those looking for a healthier lifestyle are taking to cycling to do just that. That increases the demand for bicycle parking and fortunately KPC have a comprehensive Cycle Stands Range ready to fit any budget or location type.
We have been trying to let everyone know that KPC provides so much more than just precast concrete components, but we are so well known for our concrete products that it’s easy to miss our other lines, like Stainless Steel Bollards… and these elegant, durable bollards should not be missed! Also available as Lockable/Removable.
It is so important to address a surface water drainage issues up-front, before it really becomes an issue, rather than constantly ‘fire-fighting’ the issue after it arises. Our friends at ULMA Architectural Solutions recently published an interesting anecdote to illustrate just this.
DuraDrain Drainage Kerb from Killeshal is a product that addresses two increasingly significant issues. All exposed surfaces require efficient drainage to prevent flooding and protect the surface integrity. This particular issue is becoming increasingly significant, as the effects of climate change manifest themselves.
The other increasingly significant issue is that there is an ever greater focus on sustainability and environmental concerns and, in particular, the growing problem of plastics in the environment.
DuraDrain, perhaps uniquely, is the kind of product that can address both issues in a single, cleverly designed system for providing efficient and safe drainage for highways, car parks and more. Continue reading
Sloped Channel Drainage is becoming a necessity to cope with our increasingly wet climate. High hydraulic capacity channel drainage systems are not new to KPC, but we now offer Ulma polymer concrete channel drainage with a built-in 2.5% slope to handle the surface water issues associated with heavy and sustained downpours.

Channel Drainage Systems and that old Eurythmics song, Here Comes The Rain Again, frequently come to mind at this time of year. I so often seem to have that song going around my head because even though we’ve just had another wet and wild winter, but you just know the rain will keep falling into April and beyond. And of course, channel drainage systems from KPC come to mind because something will need to handle the resultant surface water, particularly where high capacity or heavy load-bearing drainage channels are required.

Eco Friendly Wall Ties available from KPC reduce heat loss in cavity wall constructions. KPC has been providing a range of eco friendly products for some time now. Our grass blocks for example, produce a great hard-standing surface while allowing better surface water drainage and infiltration. On the other hand our eco friendly wall ties product may be something of an unsung hero because when these gfrp wall ties are doing their job… they can no longer be seen. But their efficiency makes them well worth considering for your construction project.
