Adaptable
STORMCAST is adaptable to any plan shape or configuration with preformed openings to accommodate the site drainage strategy. Capacities to date have varied from as little as 80m3 to as much as 23,000m3, all displacing competitor products as the best value and most efficient solution. Our products are installed beneath green areas, car parks, roads and buildings.
Challenging sites
STORMCAST allows for staged construction including backfilling and is resilient to flooding during construction.
SUDS
STORMCAST tanks and soakaways are the perfect compliment to Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems.
Culvert Applications
Significant advantages over traditional culverts include:
- Watertight self-healing joints.
- Lighter components installed using a track machine, eliminating the cost and disruption of a mobile crane.
- Complex junctions and articulations are easy to form without additional cost.
- Simple system of setting-out pads is used to ensure accurate positioning for line and level. The cast in-situ floor then absorbs any variation in the base preparation eliminating the requirement for precision required by traditional culverts.
Rapid and easy installation
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Vertical, suspended and complex components are precast. All others may be locally sourced taking advantage of framework rates and supplier relationships.
Phase 4
Phase 5
A unique design is carried out for each installation to comply with national, international and local standards. Floatation checks are carried out in every case to ensure the appropriate factor of safety.

CONCRETEENGINEERING
Advanced Infrastructure Design
We are at the forefront of large offsite fabrication technology, undertaking responsibility for the design and delivery of some of the largest precast concrete infrastructural projects in the
UK.
Whether your project is large or small, we can take overall design responsibility or provide just the service you need. We support the site teams using all modern design technologies (including BIM) to deliver competent innovative solutions on time, with less cost and less carbon.
“Stormcast proved more beneficial than in-situ due to cost, health and safety, maintenance and future extension. Given the constraints of the development, we feel Stormcast provided the most economical and robust solution.”
“Carlow Precast assisted in obtaining Yorkshire Water approval by providing the technical backup to our application. Stormcast offered a good cost saving and shorter construction period reducing a number of the stages required by alternative systems.”
