Access Ducting, in the form of precast concrete trough units with
complementary lids can be used to house most types of services including
power and communication cables, and pipes carrying liquids and gases.
Access Ducting can be surface laid, installed flush with the surface
of the ground or buried.
Mechanical Protection
Access Ducting offers significant advantages, in terms of mechanical
protection for services from accidental damage, compared with the
alternatives of direct bury or overhead suspension. Allows accommodation
of multiple services for different utility providers and building
services.
Ease of Access to Services
Access to services is usually required at some point in their life
either for inspection, maintenance or addition. The removal of lids
from Access Ducting which laid, either on or flush with the ground,
in order to gain access to services, is a simple operation compared
with gaining access to and working on buried or overhead services.
Recent survey results conducted by independent Civil Engineering
consultants show that the whole life fully installed costs for Precast
Concrete Access Ducting are significantly lower than other forms
of duct construction.
