POLYPIPE TERRAIN Reaches Out To Sea To Rebuild An Historic
British Institution
An historic British landmark has been rebuilt with help from
Polypipe Terrain. The company’s Terrain Soil and Waste range of
plastic pipes and fittings have been used as part of a £51 million
project to rebuild The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare, which was
destroyed by fire in 2008.
The solvent-weld Terrain system was chosen to create a new piping
system which carries soil and waste, underneath the new boardwalk,
between the pier’s holding tank and the main seafront drains. “Once
the system was installed, there would be no easy access to it if any
problems arose, so it was vital that a thoroughly proven and
reliable system was chosen,” explains Polypipe Terrain’s Andy Benden.
“Given the unusual location, the system’s ability to withstand the
effects of the harsh marine environment over a long period was also
crucial. “
Polypipe Terrain made visits to the site to advise on the most
effective system design for this unique application. “We were able
to give guidance on details such as expansion and contraction joints
and that meant we could be sure that the system will go on giving
outstanding performance for many years to come,” adds Andy.
The Terrain system was specified on the basis of its light weight,
ease of installation and the flexibility offered by the 4” and 6”
diameter system components
This is the second time that the 1904 Grand Pier has been rebuilt,
the first time being after a major fire in 1930.
