Title: Stormboss sewer pipe
Post by: Plumber on March 07, 2013, 06:07:11 PM

Hi guys, im looking at starting a job that we would usually do in concrete pipe 375mm +, im now looking at the Stormboss as it goes up to 475. Have you had any experience with it? I like the fact it comes in 6m lengths and 2 guys can handle it. Any advise would be great.

Hi Plumber,  I specified this on a project a while ago now. I liked the fact it was less expected than concrete, easier to handle, and also that it had a bit of flexibility, as the site was susceptible to subsidence. The feed back from the installing drainlayer was good and there appeared to be no issues.
Cheers

Cheers Willis, yes I was thinking the same thing. Just the fact that I can have the guy's move it around without machinery is very attractive. Also being in 6 meters lengths its great! The price is slightly above concrete, but reduces my installation cost almost to good to be true!  :)
