Heritage Cast Aluminium from Alumasc repeats history at Stamford Courtyard
A Heritage Cast Aluminium rainwater system from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS), has been chosen for use on the redevelopment of a historic site in the Stourbridge village of Enville. Stamford Courtyard sits in the heart of the village, and required a system that would not only meet performance requirements, but also remain in keeping with original elements of the unique site.
The Stamford Courtyard development was delivered by main contractor Martin Evans Construction for the Enville and Stalybridge Estate, and comprises residential and office space in a beautiful courtyard setting. The site dates back to the 1800s; once home to the Stamford Arms Hotel and its outbuildings, which included a bakery, brewhouse, staff cottage and coachhouse/stable block. Built by the Earl of Stamford in 1857, the hotel accommodated visitors to the gardens at Enville Hall. Whilst the hotel was demolished in 1950, three of its outbuildings have been preserved and refurbished into charming residences, alongside three newbuild residential properties and an office suite.
Martin Evans Construction had used the Heritage Cast Aluminium range on previous projects for the Enville and Stalybridge Estate. Their experience of the system’s installation, aesthetics and performance led to specification for Stamford Courtyard, over alternative plastic systems that had failed meet design requirements.
The Heritage system offers a comprehensive range of traditional gutter profiles, with half-round, square or rectangular pipes. Following a full site survey by AWMS, Squares were supplied for the rooflines of all the buildings at Stamford Courtyard, and installed by Martin Evans Construction.
Heritage has been designed to provide all the essential architectural features appropriate to traditionally designed buildings, whilst being fully in tune with modern fast-track building contracts. It can be finished with BBA certificated powder coatings in a choice of colours, or as is the case with Stamford Courtyard, can offer a textured finish in black, to replicate the cast iron that would have been used on the original buildings.
The Heritage system is manufactured in the UK in accordance with BS EN 8530 (formerly BS 2997) and boasts a life expectancy of 40 years in rural/suburban areas and up to 25 years in industrial/marine areas. It is durable and non-corrodible, and its inherent light weight makes it easy to transport, handle and fix.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable.

Gatic Access Covers from Alumasc specified for Heathrow Airport Resurfacing Works
Gatic Access Covers from Alumasc specified for Heathrow Airport Resurfacing Works
Gatic Access Covers from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS) have been supplied as part of major resurfacing works at London’s Heathrow Airport.
The project, which involves around 90,000 tonnes of asphalt being laid to the Southern entry/exit taxiways and runway, forms part of Heathrow’s new investment programme, which is being delivered by engineering and construction specialist VolkerFitzpatrick. The covers were specified by leading consultancy firm, Jacobs, who are managing product specification for the entire project, and have a successful track record with Gatic Access Covers across other areas of the airport.
For this phase of the works, single and double units were installed, with solid covers featuring an anti-slip surface and load bearing capabilities of F900. F900 assemblies are able to withstand a 35-tonne slow moving wheel load, making them perfect for aircraft hard-standings and taxiways. Additional strengthening was provided by way of mounting trays, which enable a reinforcement bar to be passed underneath the units, helping to tie the cover and frame into the concrete slab.
Exacting standards for harsh environments
Gatic Access Covers can be typically found in airports, ports, container docks, data centres, water treatment works, gas and electricity facilities, highways and tunnels. As a modular system manufactured using ductile cast iron components, Gatic Access Covers can be assembled into a wide range of sizes. Additionally, by utilising steel beams in multi-span applications, endless size opportunities are possible, allowing easy access to a comprehensive range of underground services across various commercial and industrial venues.
These volatile applications require the guaranteed protection offered only by Gatic Access Covers. Examples include:
Manhole/pump/valve/transformer chambers
Pipe and cable service trenches
Cable draw pits
Lighting pits
Fuel and fire hydrant pits
Machinery/plant access chambers
Combined sewer/overflow chambers
The composition of the ductile iron is tightly controlled and the casting process is held to stringent limits. The covers and frames are pre-assembled at Gatic’s factory achieving a ‘metal to metal’ fit within 0.25mm tolerance.
This unique seal has been subject to independent BBA testing and has achieved BBA approval for guaranteed levels of gas-, air- and water-tightness, which cannot be attained when alternative options, such as composites, are retrofit into existing frames.
When correctly installed, this degree of fit also ensures Gatic covers will be non-rocking under traffic, and sealed against ingress of road dirt and other detritus.
Environmental Considerations
Importantly, Heathrow’s investment programme is intended to transform the airport into a net-zero aviation hub. The provision of Gatic Access Covers not only suits the demanding application at Heathrow, but also aligns with the project’s environmental considerations.
Gatic are committed to working processes that meet the requirements of Quality (BS EN ISO 9001) and Environmental (BS EN ISO 14001) Management Systems. These processes are practised company-wide to ensure their commitment to continuous environmental improvements in terms of product design and manufacture. Most notably, these systems enable Gatic to do the following:
Minimise environmental impact
Commit organisational resources to energy management
Reduce energy costs
Give high priority to energy efficient investments
Consider life cycle energy costs for all new projects
Minimise CO2 emissions year on year
Use energy from sustainable resources wherever possible
