Health & Safety is one of the most important areas for the industry. This section offers H&S information and advice.

RIGID VS FLEXIBLE - QUESTIONS
Different types of rigid and flexible pipeline systems are being employed and used by different developers throughout the country. This section raises a number of questions on the performance of both systems (durability, strength, maintenance and resistance to jetting, and a number of other areas) and compares how rigid and flexible pipeline alternatives fare.

NEW PROJECTS / CASE STUDIES
This section educates the industry about the endless possibilities and applications of concrete pipeline systems. For more information on these case studies please contact our member companies. You can contact CPSA offices for more information on international case studies.

FLOOD MITIGATION
The level of damage and misery caused by the 2007 summer floods was by all means extraordinary; with 7,000 people evacuated from their homes, 55,000 properties flooded, and a £3 billion bill expected to be paid by the insurance industry due to the damage caused. CPSA launched a Six Points Plan in 2007 to address the main questions on flooding and underground drainage. This section offers information on the role of concrete drainage systems in flood mitigation.
