14 PIPES & DRAINAGE 2018 Offsite construction is a key requirement in many current projects and is now backed by government as they recognise the benefits and certainties in terms of money, safety and time. This together with onsite skills shortages has highlighted that manufacturers need to work closer with engineers and contractors to create offsite products to achieve onsite benefits. Stanton Bonna embraces offsite construction. The UK company of Consolis - Eu- rope's largest precast concrete producer, it's widely recognised for innovative offsite solutions working with water, highway, rail, housing, telecom and power sectors of the construction industry. The Watertight Manhole System which includes a pre-benched, precast manhole base is an example of offsite construction that continues to be improved. As part of this develop- ment, a new state-of-the-art robot recently arrived at Stanton Bonna to shape the poly formers for precast manhole bases. This exceptional piece of equipment will improve design capabilities whilst sig- nificantly reducing the time it takes to manufacture Stanton Bonna Watertight Manhole Bases. The unique design elimi- nates any cascading between main inlet and outlet pipe. Where the main inlet pipe is a smaller diameter to the main outlet pipe the base design includes a tapered floor from one to the other which also results in improved flow. The accurately profiled formers are ready in around 45 minutes with bespoke specified channels for each watertight base. This used to take between 5 to 7 days from external suppliers. Following the recent £3M+ investment in the 'Magic Plant' specifically built for production of the Stanton Bonna Watertight Manhole System, this further invest- ment in innovation will help improve efficiency as well as significantly improve service to customers. Stanton Bonna's precast concrete Watertight Manhole Systems are safer, quicker and easier to install with less waste and lower carbon footprint than traditional systems.
