Gulleys, manholes and drainage solutions
Ironworks are metal works present across all EV car parks and charging hubs they come in many different shapes and sizes and serve critical functions across drainage, access and site services.
On EV sites these include:
- Gullies (drains)
- Manholes
- Channel drain gratings
- Access covers over cable draw pits and inspection chambers
- Duct access covers rodding eyes and draw pit lids
- Stop-tap covers
- Inspection chamber covers
These are present across every EV charging construction we deliver, keeping drainage flowing correctly and providing access to the underground ducting and service networks that power the charging equipment above, all installed to design specificity of B125 or D400.
IRONWORK AFTER CARE
The right load class for the right location
B125 covers suit pedestrian areas and footways. D400 is specified for car traffic and vehicle up to 40 tonnes. We confirm the load class for each position against the site drawings before installation.
Set to level, built to last
Each frame is set to the finished levels and falls from the site design, so covers sit flush with the surfacing and gratings sit exactly where water is designed to collect. Frames are bedded on mortar and haunched with concrete around the full perimeter, which stops covers rocking or working loose under repeated wheel loads.
Planned around the ducting layout
Draw pits and inspection chambers are positioned along the duct routes so the electrical contractor can pull cables through without breaking out the surface. We set out each chamber against the ducting layout and charger positions, keeping covers clear of bay markings, kerb lines and equipment bases wherever the design allows.
