Delivering Superior Efficiency with Prefabricated HDPE Drainage Stacks

Transforming drainage design and delivery, Pipekit’s prefabricated HDPE drainage stacks are setting a new standard in efficiency, cost-effectiveness and installation speed.

By offering both off-the-shelf and custom-built systems, Pipekit empowers contractors and clients to streamline projects without compromising on quality. Here, Lloyd Winter, Design and Technical Support Manager at Pipekit, shares insights into why these innovative systems are particularly well-suited to the complex demands of the tall buildings sector.

Right First Time

Each drainage stack is precision-engineered in our factory-controlled environment, ensuring unparalleled quality, consistency and efficiency. Our bespoke drainage stacks are delivered floor by floor, minimising downtime and storage needs – critical advantages in fast-paced urban high-rise projects where space is tight and every hour counts.

Sustainable by Design

Installing Pipekit’s HDPE prefabricated systems is a decisive step toward reducing a building’s overall carbon footprint. Compared to traditional loose fit HDPE, our precision-engineered systems accelerate installation and minimise onsite errors and material waste. Delivered using our low-emission vehicles and reusable stillages with minimal packaging, our HDPE drainage stacks embody efficiency at every stage.

Seamlessly Adaptable

Pipekit's standard prefabricated HDPE stacks offer versatile, off-the-shelf solutions in various configurations to suit any layout or orientation. Ideal for luxury apartments, student accommodation and vast commercial towers – they meet drainage requirements for bathrooms, kitchens and utility cupboards. For more complex project needs, our bespoke solutions ensure contractors can seamlessly meet challenging specification requirements.

Meeting the demands of consulting engineers, contractors and specifiers driven to optimise costs and timelines – Pipekit’s drainage stacks present a practical, scalable solution. Simplifying the installation process and supporting sustainable building practices, Pipekit’s prefabrication service manages the design, assembly and testing of the drainage stacks. We deliver the systems complete for a fast-track installation – offering predictability of programme and significantly lowering project costs by over 50% when compared to lose fit HDPE approaches.
