All exposed impermeable surfaces and structures require efficient drainage to prevent flooding or settlement and to protect surfaces. Duradrain is a heavy duty combined kerb and drainage system (CKD) that provides an efficient and safe method of draining highways, car parks and potentially any surface or structure with a kerb edge.
Combined kerb and drainage systems collect run-off continually and quickly which helps extend the life of a project and improve the conditions for users and their safety, particularly in Highways. Unlike the traditional kerb and gully method where flows compound on the surface, the collected run-off is contained and driven to outlet hidden within the channel body. As the kerb-lines are traditionally set at a low point, the levels on site can be simplified using one-directional cross-fall/camber to deliver surface water to the kerb-side.
The combination of a large usable volume and hydraulically efficient material means Duradrain creates fast flows and good silt transit. This aids longevity of structure, system and product, reducing the frequency for future maintenance.
The greater volume and efficiency allows you to design systems within a shallow construction generally installed above a capping layer reducing cost and improving productivity on site.
The key to the success of any surface drainage system is its installation and integration. A system has to be installed correctly and equally integrated within varied surfaces across a project which can often have different operational challenges. A precise quality finish during installation with sound integration between the product, system, bed, brace/backing and landscape/surfacing will ensure optimum performance and longevity.
All Dura products have a unique retention element that ensures all units are fixed and fully integrated with the brace/haunch during installation. Each section of CKD is bound by solid iron access and gully outfalls to give you a truly heavy duty and robust combined kerb and surface drainage system.
When you design for Dura products, all processes from setting out, cutting to length and cutting corners, are made easier, safer and quicker.
The increased efficiency will deliver real cost savings.
Reduced labour, plant and time on site will bring costs down further so projects can be completed efficiently and ahead of schedule.
Get In TouchWith Duradrain, the increased cost of using recycled material is offset by the innovative and fully automated process of production. This enable us to offer Duradrain at market rates similar to traditional systems currently available. The improving cycle is nevertheless the same for Duradrain as it is with all Dura-Products.
For Duradrain & Durachannel, and all linear and combined kerb and drainage systems, the Harmonised Standard verifies compliance. The requirements for compliance have been developed and set by CEN/CENILEC within EU Legislation. They are designed to remove barriers to trade, promote entreprenuership and improve access to markets.
Duradrain & Durachannel comply fully with the Harmonised Standard EN1433 (HD Load Group 4 – D400) and carry the CE mark. Both systems also meet the requirements of the Interim Advice Note IAN117/08 Rev 2 and can be approved, used and adopted within highways across the UK, Ireland & Mainland Europe.
DownloadsA major benefit of Dura Products is their vastly superior health and safety features. Duradrain is not only extremely light but also contains no carcinogenic silica. Both these features benefit the workforce tasked with installing the kerb and aid designers in meeting their legal obligations under the CDM regulations. Duradrain does this by:
Unlike concrete Duradrain contains no carcinogenic silica & is designed to be cut using a hand saw eliminating the risk of exposure to RCS (respirable crystalline silica) a know cause of cancer.
At less than 8kg’s Duradrain is designed to be manually installed in line with HSE guidelines.
