IDS Medium Duty Structural Chambers |
 
|
To complement the IDS range of polyethylene chambers and ducting, IDS can now offer a range of pre-formed Medium Duty Structural Chambers and vaults for network, duct and equipment access. The IDS Medium Duty Structural Chamber range provides operators with the means to construct chambers quickly and inexpensively without having to compromise on build quality. The unique design of the IDS Medium Duty Structural Chamber range offers operators and contractors alike a huge range of clear opening and depth combinations. The Medium Duty Structural Chamber range consists of 150mm deep ring sections which are stacked on top of each other to form chambers of varying depth. Each ring in turn is made of twin walls with vertical ribs spanning between the walls. This patented twin wall technology provides the Medium Duty Structural Chamber range with its inherent strength - strength that has been independently tested to withstand vertical unsupported loads in excess of fifty tonnes. Vertical load tests have also been applied on a cyclic basis in order to simulate the effect of trafficking. Under this first test, the chamber withstood 40 tonnes vertical load at the rate of one cycle per second for over 86,000 cycles within a 24 hour period. Strength that means unlike other pre-formed chambers which only serve as formers for concrete, the IDS Medium Duty Structural Chamber range does not require any expensive structural backfill. |

IDS Medium Duty Structural Chambers - adaptability without compromise
The design features incorporated into all IDS systems are the result of extensive field research, finite computer analysis, prototyping and now meet the high standards required by both Utility operators and Contractors alike. Only with the IDS system do you get a truly full alternative to the traditional methods of concrete and brick. In addition to meeting the proven strengths of traditional methods, IDS Medium Duty Structural Chambers do not suffer from their disadvantages. With drastically improved speed of build and quality of finish coupled to longevity of working life, the IDS system outperforms here as well.
