Complete reliability, lower embodied carbon: Ibstock launches new Utility Troughs and Lids range

Manufactured in the UK, Ibstock’s Utility troughs and Lids are made from reinforced concrete for ultimate durability and strength. The adaptability of the products make them suitable for a range of applications and industries, including housing and protecting power and communications cables, right through to pipes carrying gas, water and other chemicals.

Quick and easy-to-install, the concrete troughs can also help safeguard against malicious or accidental damage and are easily accessible for maintenance and repair work. Tested to BS EN 1433 (troughs), BS EN 124 (lids) and covered by BS EN ISO 9001 (quality management) and BS EN ISO 14001 (environmental management) standards, the troughs, which range in size from 350mm up to 1250mm internal dimensions, have excellent fire and weather resistant properties, meaning they can be specified and installed with confidence on a wide range of infrastructure projects.

Shaun Forrester, Commercial Director at Ibstock said: “When it comes to the provision of Utility Troughs and Lids, no business has more experience and in-house expertise than Ibstock. We have been supplying precision engineered solutons to vital infrastructure sectors, including rail and infrastructure, for more than 30 years, and this latest range of concrete troughs have been designed with the specific needs of those sectors front of mind.
