Prefabrication

Standard Off The Shelf HDPE Drainage Stacks


Pipekit has launched its Standard Design Prefabricated HDPE Drainage Stacks, making us the first independent UK company to produce and sell standard off the shelf stack fabrications. We have developed this range to meet the needs of contractors, who are increasingly looking for an off the shelf, standard fabricated drainage product that helps maintain the quality of installation but reduces the delays in waiting for bespoke fabrications.

Pipekit launched its prefabricated business three years ago offering bespoke prefabricated pipe and drainage solutions but increasingly observed that not all contractors require bespoke offerings. Many construction projects have repetitive drainage requirements and therefore introducing a standard, off the shelf stack range, would provide a better fit for many prefabrication customers.

Pipekit’s Standard Design Prefabricated HDPE Drainage Stacks are produced using a range of manufacturers including Geberit, Polypipe and Aliaxis, pending customer preference. We make this range using Geberit, Terrain or Akatherm products to cover different specification requirements.  The product range can be used for various vertical drainage stacks for soil and waste transfer and in bathrooms, ensuites and kitchen and utility cupboards.

The new launch is part of our ongoing investment to grow the Prefabrication business and is being spearheaded by Lloyd Winter, Technical Design & Support Manager. Winter was brought in specifically to advance our fabrication offering for above-ground drainage systems and provide independent design and technical support for the offsite manufacturing product solutions. Commenting on the launch, Lloyd Winter said: “Introducing a standard, off the shelf fabrication system was one of my first objectives on joining Pipekit and I am delighted to see it come to market”.

He continues: “The fact that we at Pipekit, as an independent business, can now provide design and production of both standard and bespoke stack fabrications is a huge advancement.  Being able to offer a prefabricated in-house design and support service, that is backed up by our dedicated technical support team, shows how far our added value offering has grown, in our attempt to meet our customers’ needs and the ever-changing industry requirements”.  

The Pipekit Standard Design Prefabricated HDPE Drainage Stacks will offer huge time savings for contractors and installers because fabrications can be delivered to site or collected quickly. This feature significantly reduces delays for installation on site and deliveries to site can also match installation schedules, reducing costly on-site storage requirements.
