In the heart of Buxted Construction's bustling storage and distribution yard, a transformative project unfolded: the comprehensive replacement of drainage systems. Faced with the challenge of managing substantial volumes of silt and water accumulation, their choice was clear: Heavy Duty Channel systems, meticulously designed to meet the demands of such rigorous environments.

Selected through one of their trusted distributors, their solution seamlessly integrated into Buxted Construction's operations, reflecting their commitment to quality and reliability. Notably, this project holds personal significance as Buxted Construction entrusted BG-FILCOTEN for their own premises, further validating the efficacy and trustworthiness of their products.
