Drainage Kerb DuraDrain – Sustainable Solution

DuraDrain Drainage Kerbs
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 Higher Hydraulic Capacity

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 for any Site

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 Reduce Heat Loss

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.

Corner Padstones Provide Great Support Options

We have previously outlined here the importance Padstones as an essential component in modern block and brick construction projects, protecting the wall beneath from crushing weight transferred through load-bearing elements above. With architectural designs creating ever more imaginative living and working spaces the demands for appropriate corner padstones to support these new designs has increased dramatically. That’s where KPC can shine… with corner padstones!

Terracotta Style Wall and Pier Coping – How to get it

The power of the internet never fails to amaze me. Even more so, the power of images on the internet. I have often said that we are inherently visual creatures and I am now convinced that we will respond more to what we see than what we read or are told, particularly since seeing some of the responses to one of our website posts which generated numerous requests for Terracotta Style Wall and Pier Coping.

Window Sill Supports with Thermal Isolation

KPC has always been strong on engineered solutions. We pride ourselves on being able to adapt our standard building components or to produce new custom components as required. One example of this innovative engineering capacity didn’t require any change in the component in question, but rather a certification test to establish that our GFRP Wall Ties would have sufficient point load strength to function perfectly as Window Sill Supports.

That’s where KPC can help… with KPC’s range of Surface Water Management products. Continue reading
