Armadillo Ironwork Defence System

The Armadillo range functions as a complete ironwork defence system. It includes the recently launched Armadillo SiltShield, a fully retrofittable and robust solution for silt management. SiltShield effectively traps silt and debris at the source before it can enter the drainage network. This feature is vital for developers as it helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations and mitigates the risk of blockages, reduced efficiency, and potential fines for polluting watercourses. The system's steel construction ensures it is fully recyclable.

The range also incorporates protector shells and plates designed to shield manhole covers and gully gratings from the extreme loads (up to 60 tonnes) exerted by tracked plant and heavy machinery during construction. This prevents costly premature failure, replacement, and remedial work.

ClickLift Manhole Frame Raising System

The ClickLift system revolutionises the ironwork installation process, removing the time and resources required to dig out and reinstall manhole frames to suit the final adoptable road surface. This fully BSI Kitemarked system allows a single installation to be raised, ready for final surfacing, in approximately 30 seconds.

Compliance and Collaborative Design

By embracing this suite of products, developers gain environmental, sustainability, and health and safety benefits due to reduced remedial works and the prevention of pollutants in the drainage system.

"We are committed to being our customers’ first choice for quality civil engineering products, putting innovative solutions at the heart of our business," said Ricky Hasprey, Director of Sales at Wrekin Products "This partnership ensures that housebuilders can easily access proven, sustainable products like Armadillo SiltShield and ClickLift, which are engineered to solve age-old civil engineering problems.

Investing in quality and efficient solutions at the outset ensures assets start their service life 'as new', optimising longevity and delivering the measurable time and cost savings that the housing sector urgently needs."
