NEW Network Rail Approved Drainage Catchpit Sizes

Cubis’ track side drainage system FLEXI Pit is the only Network Rail approved range of GRP catchpits for use on the network. With a patented, adjustable backfill board to allow the invert level to be changed in-situ the system has now had 5 new sizes approved taking the total to 8 for use across the network. The new and existing sizes will enable installation teams to install a wider range of sizes with varying depths to suit the requirements for drainage across more locations

The new sizes are: 1200 x 675mm, 1200 x 750mm, 1200 x 1000mm, 1350 x 900mm and 1350 x 1350mm.

These complement our existing range of: 1160 x 380mm, 1200 x 600mm and 1310 x 850mm.

With the increase in extreme weather events and the effects of climate change meaning that there is a greater need for a wider range of sizes to accommodate a functioning railway and the introduction of these new sizes will allow drainage engineers a huge amount of choice when designing the drainage networks of the future.

With our technical expertise and knowledge of industry we are always on hand to support our customers with product selection, installation advice, trackside calculations and technical drawings to assist with your designs.
