Quantum

The Range

Hunter offer two different pipe systems for different applications; PVCu solid wall system and Quantum structured wall. The comprehensive range of Quantum pipe and fittings are featured in our online catalogue. The revolutionary high performance PVCu structured wall Quantum Sewer pipe with Water Industry approval for gravity sewer applications is a lightweight, cost effective, modern alternative to clay or concrete pipes. Available in 150, 225 and 300mm diameters, Quantum Highway Pipe system has Department of Transport approval for use in highway carrier and filter drains.

Quantum for Sewers

Working with the UK Water Industry and using the agreed performance criteria, the revolutionary Quantum PVCu sewer system:

Absorbs shock and deformation without breaking

Typically, in impact tests, Quantum proved twice as strong as a standard PVCu pipe, and even better against traditional materials.

Minimises handling health & safety risks

Its twin-wall structure is a lightweight alternative to traditional materials, enhancing site handling and installation, reducing the cost of site plant and helping towards minimising health & safety risks on site.

Virtually maintenance free

The smooth, non-porous bore of the pipe improves flow characteristics by lowering frictional resistance that, together with the reduction in joints, actually minimises the risk of blocking.

If an operational blockage does occur:

Blockages could actually be removed from Quantum pipework for jetting pressures as low as 1000 psi (70 bar).

Quantum Sewer systems use primarily in adoptable drainage systems.

The 150mm range of pipes and fittings has also been independently tested by the British Board of Agrément Certificate no 94/2985 for foul drainage installations subject to Building Control approval, thereby providing an alternative to solid wall systems.

Manufactured to meet the performance requirements of the manual of contract documents Volume 1 Specification for Highway Works, June 2001, for the collection and disposal of surface and sub-surface water. The system has also been assessed by the British Board of Agrément for compliance with Department of Transport requirements and awarded Roads & Bridges Certificate No 92/RO70
