Hydro Construction Products are leading suppliers of versatile polymer concrete pits, pit extension risers, and modular cable duct. With these top-of-the-line products, Hydro continues to diversify their premier range of water management solutions to meet the demands of the building industry in Australia.
The manufacturing process of polymer concrete incorporates the tough composition of natural minerals, such as quartz, granite and basalt. Then, the raw materials are bound together in a mixture of polyester resin. The end-product of the manufacturing process are polymer concrete pits that are low in weight, yet high in mechanical strengths, dielectric properties, and resistance to compression, chemicals, and water ingress.
With unwavering quality, Hydro proves to be the ideal choice for pit solutions in residential, commercial, and government properties, including streetscapes, pedestrian areas, domestic driveways, parks, car parks, schools and service stations.
Integrity
Hydro designs polymer concrete pits with outstanding stability, capable of accommodating loading classes from A10 to G900. The high-resilience build quality will show little, to no strain on the product even after extended use under demanding conditions, such as frost. The maintenance-free service of the pit solutions further accounts for their outstanding insusceptibility to ageing.
Manageability
The material optimised production of polymer concrete results in pits that are 75% lighter than traditional concrete products. Thus, most of the polymer concrete pits by Hydro can be lifted into position by hand with one or two personnel. Onward to installation, contractors will find no difficulty with the excellent workability of the pits using basic chisels, grinding disks and masonry drills. Conduit installation is made simple with preformed knockouts on all pit walls. No heavy steel reinforcement is required for application, saving time, money and manpower.
Environmental protection
As compared to ordinary concrete, polymer concrete has minimal pores in its structural makeup. With this characteristic, the pit solutions are equipped with virtually zero permeability to any substance. On top of that, the material is extremely resistant to liquid chemicals that may tarnish product integrity. Polymer concrete pits by Hydro effectively prevent unwanted leakages to promote environmental protection and safety of the workforce. In case of disposal, the products can be reduced to rubble for environmental conservation.
Versatility
Specifiers can add polymer concrete risers to increase the depth of polymer concrete pits in 270mm increments. Available in Class A-G loadings for efficient trafficability, pit covers come in stainless steel, galvanised checker plate steel, or ductile iron finishes. Hydro has designed pit covers to be fully lockable to prevent theft and movement of the pit system.
