Wavin Plastics - New OSMA TEGRA 600-Non-entry inspection chamber offers easy access for pipe work inspection
Wavin Plastics is launching the new OSMA Tegra 600 to provide
easy installation, inspection and maintenance to non-adoptable
domestic and commercial drainage systems.
This innovative non-entry inspection chamber is a much safer and
cost-effective alternative to traditional concrete ring manholes
during installation and occupation.
Tegra 600 is constructed from strong polypropylene. It is much
lighter and easier to handle on site than large concrete
manholes, which need to be lifted into place by heavy machinery.
The Tegra 600 chamber can be installed by hand and backfilled in
a day, typically three times faster than a concrete manhole. The
result of this speed and installation is a significant cost
saving.
There is less of a health and safety risk with the Tegra 600
access chamber, which can be used to examine buried pipework
more than 1.2 metres deep.
Pipe inspection and maintenance can be carried out from above
ground, so there is no need for ground workers to enter a
potentially hazardous environment to check drainage pipes and
clear debris.
The robust Tegra 600 can be used for inspecting and maintaining
150mm, 225mm and 300mm pipes for surface and foul water
drainage. It has moveable sockets that allow up to 7.5° pipe
movement in any direction. This provides extra flexibility to
successfully secure connections to pipe line and level.
Tegra 600 is available with straight, 30°, 90° and cross base
configurations. It can connect directly to UltraRib but is also
able to connect to Twinwall drainage systems, via an adaptor.
Wavin Plastics’ head of marketing Michelle Fleming explains the
advantages of the Tegra 600 for underground drainage work: “This
is an extremely safe and easy-to-use inspection chamber that
significantly reduces the installation costs associated with
routine pipe maintenance.
“Using the Tegra 600 means far less risk to personnel, both
during installation and service.”
