Hunter Plastics pass Guernsey School test

Soil and waste and underground drainage pipes from Hunter Plastics are being installed as part of a major school rebuilding project on Guernsey in the Channel Islands.

Main contractor RG Falla is installing Hunter's MUPVC and PVC-U pipework at Hautes Capelles Junior School in the parish of St Sampson's. Designed by the States Department of Architecture for the States Education Council, the new £3 million school will accommodate up to 360 children aged from 7 to 11.

As part of their successful tender Hunter produced a detailed drainage design for the school. Over 600 metres of Hunter piping will be installed throughout the two storey school, which will include specialist facilities such as a swimming pool, library, music room plus 12 form classrooms, a science room and special needs room.

Local merchant Channel Distribution Services has supplied waste pipes and fittings in 32mm and 40mm sizes, and grey soil in 110mm. Underground drainage pipes and fittings have been supplied in 110mm and 160mm. The soil and underground pipes were all specified to have push fit connectors. The architects have also made use of 3" and 4" fire stop sleeves for the soil stacks and 17 Hunter Nouveau air admittance valves which prevent the need to run the stack through the roof.

Hunter does a 'Ground Job' for luxury Suffolk bungalows

Five new bungalows in Halesworth near Southwold, Suffolk, are benefitting from top quality underground drainage products from leading manufacturer Hunter Plastics, who have supplied a complete range of pipes, bends, traps, inspection chambers, and access chambers through local merchant, Kent Blaxhill.

The Hunter underground drainage products are serving five luxury detached bungalows set in the wooded grounds of an old Georgian Mansion, Highfield House. The development was carefully planned to avoid harming any of the 89 T.P.O. trees in the grounds, which include some very old oaks and cedars, with all underground services, cabling and pipework.

Ipswich based groundwork contractor Scannell Construction specified and installed the drainage equipment. "We always ensure quality in our work and this starts with the products we specify," says company director, Dave Daniels. "The Hunter products were within budget, delivered on time and problem-free to install - and that's the way we like them!"

Hunter PVC-U underground drainage products are lightweight and consequently far easier and quicker to install than more traditional materials such as clay, especially in awkward and cramped sites. PVC-U also offers a cleaner installation than other materials. At the same time, it is tough, impact-resistant, doesn't corrode and offers reliable performance.

The bungalows at Halesworth, being built by De Veers Ltd. of Aldeburgh, are each individually styled and comprise three bedrooms, bathroom, ensuite to master bedroom, cloakroom, kitchen, dining room, lounge and double garage. The timber framing and high quality specification on each bungalow gives a low `U-value', making them extremely energy efficient.

Hunter Plastics manufactures one of the widest ranges of quality PVC-U rainwater, soil and waste, and underground drainage systems in the UK. The company is part of the Etex Group.
