Waimakariri District Council continues to embrace change and use products of the 21^st century that will see them through to the 22^nd century! WDC were one of the first District Councils to start using Euroflo pipe, and haven’t look back since.

 Some comments from their Roading Engineer Ken Avant, following a number of Euroflo installations they have completed:

 “Over the last several weeks we have installed 300mm, a 450mm, a twin 500mm and a 1200mm Milford culverts sourced by P&F Global in Invercargill.

Delivery was great and the crew installing the pipes found them easy to handle at 5.5m in length light enough for ease of installation and joining.  A 100mm gravel base was laid and the culverts where haunched by 250mm GAP40mm layers ensuring good compaction.  All culverts are in low volume WDC roads and have 3-400mm cover.

The 3 sections of each culvert were easily completed in a day with riprap used for inlet/outlet structures.

A great and far better alternative to other plastic brands and providing the recommended cover 300-400 mm is adhered to a far better economic solution to concrete.”

We continue to work with them and their clients to deliver projects that they can rest assured will have a lifetime of around 100 years – no more digging out and replacing collapsed pipes!
