All products were applicable, are manufactured in accordance to the relevant European and complimentary standards with all the defined performance tests carried out to ensure each product performs as required in service.

  
             
  In addition our drainage systems carry the prestigious Kitemark, a registered certification mark from the British Standards Institute. Before any product is licensed by BSI to show the Kitemark, samples will have been subjected to rigorous and independent tests against the specifications of the relevant published standards. In addition BSI inspectors will monitor on a continuing basis all aspects of quality control procedures from receipt of raw materials, through the production, inspection and testing stages to the loading and transportation of products to the customer.  
             
  The company has developed a Quality Management System that is assessed and approved by the British Standards Institute, in conjunction with BS EN ISO: 9001: 2000 outlining procedures which ensure that technical cover and support is maintained through every stage.

  TESTS CARRIED OUT    
  All pipes and manholes are manufactured in accordance with BSEN 1916:2002 and BSEN 1917:2002 and complimentary standards.  
         
  HYDROSTATIC TEST      
  Flexible jointed pipes must withstand an internal hydrostatic pressure of 0.5 bar for 15 minutes without any signs of leakage.  
         
         
  LOAD TEST      
  All pipe products are tested to the appropriate proof or crushing strength requirement specified in BSEN 1916:2002.  
         
  BENDING MOMENT RESISTANCE (BMR TEST)    
  Pipes up to and including DN 250 with an effective length greater than 6 times the external diameter.  
         
         
  JOINT TYPE TESTS    
  Completing deflection, and shear tests proves the water tightness of flexible joints. These are carried out at an internal hydrostatic pressure of 5 bar for a period of 15 minutes without any sign of leakage.  
         
         
  ANCHORAGE PULL-OUT TEST    
  Type tests for pull load on cast-in steel anchorages are carried out. The test applies a load of 2.5 times the weight of the pipe to each anchorage without vibration or sudden shock.  
         
         
  OTHER TESTS    
  Among other tests carried out are, Depth of cover to reinforcement, water absorption, Permissible deviation from straightness, and various product finish checks as required by the British and European Standards.  
         
         
       
  TABLE: TESTS AND TOLERANCES  
  The following table indicates Crush Tests Loads applied during testing to prove strength class of the manufactured pipe.  
         
  The table also indicates Recommended Joint Gap and Max. Joint Deflection when jointing on site.
