Utility Protection/Multipurpose Slabs
Utility and pipe protection slabs, also known as multipurpose slabs, are engineered for robust underground infrastructure protection. These slabs are constructed using 50N/mm² semi-dry concrete and feature heavy steel reinforcement, making them exceptionally durable and strong.
Features and benefits:
- Protection – These slabs effectively shield vital underground utilities, such as water pipes, high-pressure gas mains and power cables Reinforcement – Both faces of the slab are reinforced with heavy-duty mesh, providing comprehensive protection and peace of mind for stakeholders.
- Easy installation – The slabs feature integral cast-in and fully certified lifting points, allowing for quick and safe installation.
- Availability – These slabs are readily available off the shelf for immediate nationwide delivery.
- Versatility – They offer protection from mechanical excavations and are suitable for various utility and pipe protection scenarios.
- Interlocking design – The slabs interlock, ensuring easy installation and a rigid stable protective barrier.
Current applications include major infrastructure projects such as Hinkley Point C, HS2 and several airport projects, where they have been installed to protect critical underground communication equipment during construction works.
The combination of high-strength concrete, steel reinforced and versatile design makes these utility protection slabs an essential component in safeguarding underground infrastructure across various large-scale construction and development projects.
