Case Study

QuickBase Inspection Chambers and Drain Runs

The Project

Where the relocation of drains proves cost prohibitive, or not acceptable QuickBase can save the day with easily integrated sealed covers. QuickBase raised and sealed covers can be embedded into screed floor coverings or direct to the finished floor slab.

In addition, the QuickBase Design Team is often able to design pile locations to avoid drain runs eliminating the need to relocate. The helical form of the pile ensures no ground displacement and hence the piles can be located adjacent to pipes without causing any damage. Where piles are known to be close to pipework, our installation teams pre-auger using a hand auger to ensure piles are driven in a location to ensure damages cannot occur.
