Althon CPD Course

Althon CPD course now available - 'Specifying the right headwall for your application'

Althon are pleased to announce our new CPD certified course ‘Specifying the right headwall for your application’. The primary focus of the course is to help engineers and specifiers with identifying the correct headwall for their application, including information on where you would use Sewers for Adoption headwalls and how to make sure you are compliant with a section 104 agreement. The course is also relevant to our Builders’ Merchant client base, to enhance knowledge regarding headwalls and to enable them to assist their customers in depth.

Althon also wish to raise awareness of the different accessories that can be both pre and retro-fitted onto headwalls, to aid with water management. These include flap valves, penstock gates, Wastop and Tideflex valves alongside Kee Klamp hand rails and many more.

The course covers in detail the critical dimensions that you need to know in order to the select the correct headwall and or/accessories. A checklist is provided, so that customers can make sure they’re getting the required details when liaising with clients. This course counts towards continued professional development and a certificate of attendance if available for each delegate.

New Vermin Gratings 

Althon have just launched two new Vermin Gratings, the pipe mounted vermin gate in 304 stainless steel and also the vermin mesh grille PN16 flange in 316 stainless steel. 

Pipe mounted vermin gates in 304 stainless steel are hinged at the top to allow passage in the direction of flow but will prevent rats and other vermin climbing back up the pipe. 

Vermin mesh grilles with a PN16 flange in 316 stainless steel are designed to fit between two flanged pipes or fittings, or at the end of a flanged pipe run to prevent rodents and other vermin entering connecting pipework.
