Construction professionals and business owners throughout the UK are looking for a reliable and cost effective flood prevention solution. An increasing number of people are choosing to use Plastic Piling from HL Plastics to protect their properties from flood damage.

Ross Tomkinson, proprietor of Maes Bangor Caravan Park and Campsite in Aberystwyth, has recently installed Plastic Piling on his site.

He said: “As my mother’s house is situated near a stream, and water was beginning to enter the property, we decided to install a flood prevention system.

“After researching the market, we found that Plastic Piling from HL Plastics was the most suitable and cost effective way to protect our property.”

He added: “The Plastic Piling was very easy to install, and even during the very heavy rainfall in July, the piling kept water away from our property – which has given us real peace of mind.”

Mark Sims of HL Plastics said: “It’s estimated that insurance claims following July’s floods will exceed £1 billion, so it’s no surprise that so many people are installing Plastic Piling from HL Plastics to protect their properties.”

He added: “Plastic Piling is ideal to use in flood prevention projects as It’s lighter than steel, so It’s easier to handle and transport, It doesn’t rot or rust, It’s not affected by salt water and It’s completely maintenance free.”

Plastic Piling from HL Plastics has been used in flood prevention projects of all sizes, including a 160 metre stretch of the River Tawe as part of the regeneration of the Swansea Waterfront site, and as part of the Lowland Flood Prevention scheme along a section of the Norfolk Broads.

With extensive knowledge and experience in the manufacture of Plastic Piling, HL Plastics can supply products in a variety of lengths, all of which are manufactured and dis
