Polypipe’s Ridgistorm-XL Seals achieve prestigious WRc approval
04/05/12
www.polypipe.com/wms/products/ridgistorm-xlPolypipe, the UK’s leading manufacturer of sustainable drainage and water management products, has received WRc approval for the addition of rubber seals to its innovative Ridgistorm-XL system.
The rubber seals, available for pipe diameters from 750mm to 1800mm, offer an alternative to Ridgistorm-XL’s patented electro-fusion jointing system.
They are ideally suited for use in drains, sewers and attenuation tanks and on certain projects, can also improve the jointing time for a speedier installation.
The connection method involves the use of two rubber seals inserted into the spigot end of the Ridgistorm-XL pipe, sealing the joint.
In order for the Ridgistorm-XL seals to be WRc approved, the system was tested in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 1277:2003 to ensure that they provided a leak tight connection.
Certification and testing plays a vital role in Polypipe’s product development, as Emma Thompson, Marketing Communications Manager at Polypipe, explains: “As the leading manufacturer of plastic drainage products we invest heavily in product innovation and as part of this continuous development we seek to achieve independent third party accreditation wherever possible.
“We are delighted to achieve WRc status for our Ridgistorm-XL seals. Industry recognises the stringent levels of testing involved in attaining WRc accreditation and this quality benchmark gives customers even greater confidence in selecting Ridgistorm-XL seals for their project requirements.”
Polypipe’s water management solutions experts work closely with clients from the early stage design process. They can provide full guidance and best practice advice for contractors and ground workers when using the new rubber seal joints.

Polypipe whips up a storm for Nottingham school project
02/05/12
Polypipe, the UK’s leading manufacturer of plastic sustainable drainage and water management products, has supplied a bespoke water treatment solution using its Storm X4 Treatment Filter at a school in Nottingham.
Polypipe’s technical team designed the hybrid sustainable drainage system (SuDS) for the school following a request from the Environmental Agency to treat storm water run-off from the site which was draining into a natural aquifer.
A bespoke solution was necessary as the flow of water into the Storm-X4 treatment filter had to be restricted to 24l/s. This was achieved by attenuating the surface water run-off within a holding tank made from Polypipe’s Polystorm modular cells, and restricting the outward flow from the Polystorm tank to the Storm-X4 filter with the use of a Stormcheck Flow Control Chamber.
The Storm-X4 Filtration unit is an advanced four stage filtration system that can separate and remove heavy particles, silt, oil and heavy metal pollutants contained within surface water run-off. Utilised to treat run-off from the car parking area of the school, it will retain and dissolve hydrocarbon contaminants before discharging into the soakaway that drains to the aquifer.
Emma Thompson, Marketing Communications Manager at Polypipe commented: “There has been an increase in customers requiring water treatment solutions to meet certain criteria imposed by local authorities and Government bodies.
“Polypipe is able to lead the way with regards to effective treatment products, and our work on this project underlines our ability to offer an un-rivalled, bespoke solution for any project.”
