CPM offer CPD style presentations on a variety of precast concrete solutions, if you would like to know more please contact marketing@cpm-group.com or call 01902 356220.
Ground Heat Exchangers
This is achieved by passing air below ground through an underground tube; the temperature below ground is lot more stable compared to the extreme outside temperatures, thus allowing the building to be cooled or heated. Precast concrete pipes have been used for this purpose around the world because they have good thermal conductivity to the ground and CPM can provide concrete pipes and shafts to suit any design required.
Modular Flood Walls
Concrete has a proven track record of performance in water applications, and the blocks are 100% concrete and not steel-reinforced. As the blocks are dry laid, they can be easily moved should the situation on the ground change. Stainless steel lifters are available if required.
Whether you are looking to heighten river banks, build new sea walls or construct flood plain defences, Redi-Rock™ offers considerable benefits over alternative solutions, not least an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends perfectly into the local environment.
Combined Pump & Valve Chamber
The valve chamber is incorporated into the top two meters of the shaft, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the project and considerable savings in time and cost. The combined pump and valve chamber system is available in 3000mm, 3660mm, and 4000mm diameter depending upon the valve and pipe work requirements.
Basic Rainwater Harvesting
CPM offers many different types of precast systems for both domestic and larger schemes i.e. schools, offices, commercial developments etc. The system works by collecting rainwater from roofs and occasionally hard standing areas, which are usually gravity fed though a cleaning filter into the Oasis chamber and via calmed inlet. In a typical installation it is then pumped through a floating filter directly on demand to the required supply areas i.e. non-potable applications such as toilet systems, washing machines, vehicle washing and garden taps.
There are a number of backup systems that can be planned into the system if there is insufficient rainwater stored in the holding chamber. This can be either via a header tank or directly into the holding tank, therefore always ensuring continuity of supply.
The Oasis system is designed using the very best equipment to provide cleaned rainwater with the minimum of maintenance. Water quality is maintained by the removal of organic matter and also by the action of the incoming water through the calmed inlet which introduces oxygen into the stored water. Rainwater is very soft and chlorine free, making it excellent for washing machines.
Bomac Beams
As with most of CPM’s rail products, bomac beams (also known as edge beams) can be used on new projects as well as on existing contracts.
Supplied to the requirements of the rail contractor, for use on rail crossings and in association with infill panels, bomac beams are built under factory conditions, offering a safe and confident manufacturing process.
Bespoke Precast
We help architects, builders, contractors and engineers get the precast solution they are after, whether it be for a large construction project or a single item to complete a project,
The only limit to the size of products we can produce is transportation or crane capacity. Our design team provide structural designs and drawings which are process mapped from enquiry to invoice, to ensure on-site schedules are met. To meet our objectives, the company applies a quality management system which has been developed in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 certification.
Bollards
The smooth finish precast concrete bollards are suitable for the following applications:
- Traffic bollards
- Landscape bollards
- Garden bollards
- Parking bollards
Installed buried depth is typically 300mm. In paved areas the installation depth should be increased by the paving thickness.
