Attenuation – but three times faster
When M & J Evans won the contract with Bellway Homes they committed to supply chain excellence. Building in a sustainable way, showing commitment to the needs of the community both now and in the future. They needed a stormwater management system that also delivered on this promise.

Embarking on the new 110 home development in Worksop, they sought a stormwater solution that would mitigate the strain of excessive flooding and the impact this would have on the drainage systems on the development and further down the chain.

The project challenges
M & J Evans needed to find a stormwater solution that had superb sustainability credentials whilst still being of optimum functionality, easy to install and fit for the long term.

With many houses being built on the site in Worksop they needed to work quickly and efficiently without impacting on other trades also working on the site. There was limited storage space on site and limited access times for deliveries due to the busy nature of a live site.

The installation also took place during a rather frosty December with temperatures dropping to as low as -7 degrees c. It was therefore imperative for the safety and comfort of the installation team that they could work with a product that was quick and easy to install. The tank installation needed to be completed within five days therefore M & J Evans were looking for a tried and tested solution that met their needs.

"We had a design brief to achieve for a residential development in Worksop of 110 new build plots for our client Bellway Homes, and due to our close working relationship with Wavin, we were offered a new product that looked fantastic. We feel very privileged to be the first contractor and project in the country to install the new Aquacell NG product on a live site and, from start to finish the installation went extremely smoothly. The product is very easy to be delivered to site and store due to the ingenious stacking system and installation was quick and non-problematic. As always, the expertise and product support from Wavin representatives was second to none. Overall, we are very pleased with the whole product and installation and will definitely be our preferred product going forward."
