CONCRETE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
CONCRETE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Stormwater management systems are critical components of modern construction projects, designed to manage and control the flow of stormwater runoff. These systems prevent flooding, reduce surface water accumulation, and mitigate the risk of environmental damage.
Precast concrete stormwater management systems are a reliable and effective solution, offering durability, efficiency, and adaptability for projects of all sizes.
By specifying FP McCann’s precast concrete solutions, architects, contractors, and groundworks professionals will benefit with superior performance, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Our products are engineered to meet the demands of modern construction while addressing the industry’s growing focus on sustainability and reliability.
With 13 UK based facilities and a 45 year reputation in precast concrete, FP McCann are a trusted concrete stormwater management systems manufacturer serving the construction sector.
BENEFITS OF PRECAST CONCRETE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Durability and longevity
Precast concrete is renowned for its strength and durability, making it an ideal material for stormwater management systems that need to withstand the test of time.
Unlike materials such as metal, which can corrode, or PVC which can warp under pressure or degrade over time, precast concrete maintains its structural integrity even under extreme conditions.
Positive sustainable impact
The manufacturing process for precast concrete is highly controlled, reducing waste and optimising resource use. The material’s longevity means fewer replacements and less material consumption over time, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.
Additionally, at FP McCann our aim is to be the most sustainable supplier of precast concrete products in the UK and Ireland. Our newest manufacturing facility in Leicestershire uses solar panels to provide 100% of the plant’s energy requirement, showing we are committed to leading the way in the drive for net zero carbon emissions.
Efficient installation
Time is a critical factor in construction projects, and delays can lead to increased costs and logistical challenges. Precast concrete components are manufactured off-site and delivered ready for installation, drastically reducing on-site construction time.
Flexible design
Precast concrete offers unparalleled design flexibility, enabling contractors and architects to implement solutions that align perfectly with their needs.
Whether you require modular stormwater tanks, culverts for controlled water flow, or permeable paving systems, precast concrete can be tailored to meet exact specifications.
CASE STUDY FOCUS: STORMHOLD™ PIPE TANK ATTENUATION SYSTEM FOR YORKSHIRE MILL DEVELOPMENT
As part of a residential redevelopment of a historic mill site in Yorkshire, FP McCann supplied and installed a StormHoldTM precast pipe tank attenuation system to manage stormwater runoff effectively.
The building work on behalf of Rushbond and Advent Developments was undertaken by Caddick Construction, who employed the services of Castleford groundworks and civil engineering contractor HH Construction.
The project aimed to transform the site into a modern housing development while maintaining compliance with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) regulations and mitigating flood risks.
FP McCann designed, manufactured, and installed a bespoke StormHold™ precast pipe tank system. The tank, constructed using large-diameter precast concrete pipes, provides temporary stormwater storage, controlling the flow of runoff into the local drainage network.
The modular design ensured efficient installation, reducing on-site construction time and labour costs.
Commenting on the StormHold™ build, Steve Kelly, Planner for HH Construction says,
“After considering alternative pipe systems and taking into account the requirement to install the tanks beneath a road, the use of FP McCann’s 1200dia precast concrete pipes was considered by far the best option.
The integral bespoke side entry manhole bends unique in their design, were quickly and safely installed with onsite machinery and have eliminated the requirement for individual manhole builds along the pipe network.”
