Coloured Precast Concrete Headwalls

Coloured precast concrete headwalls

Althon are now able to offer coloured headwalls for aesthetically sensitive areas. Our coloured concrete headwalls can help the installation blend into the surrounding landscape.

Althon use a colouring additive for cementitious materials. It provides a uniform streak free colour.

Colours shown are approximations of our colour mix in a typical concrete using mid grey Portland cement and having an as-cast surface. The final colour is affected by many influences.

Stainless Steel Mammal Shelves

Stainless Steel Mammal Shelves

Althon have recently supplied 22 meters of stainless steel mammal ledge to a project in Cheshunt. This project also required some bespoke sections to be designed to fit around the existing concrete structure. 

Adding mammal ledges allows wildlife to pass through a culvert or under bridges more safely and therefore reduces the risk of drowning.

For more information on our range to mammal shelves and ledges please visit our website or email us sales@althon.co.uk

Bitumen waterproofing on headwalls

Bitumen Waterproofing on Headwalls

We have recently supplied several headwalls to a project on the A5 in Leicestershire. The specification called for two coats of bitumen waterproofing to be applied to all buried surfaces. The bitumen waterproofing was applied at the factory allowing the Headwall to be lifted directly into place on site without the need for any additional work to be carried out. We can add bitumen waterproofing to any of our precast concrete headwalls if required and for more information on the range of headwalls we offer please visit our website, email sales@althon.co.uk or call us on 01603 488700 and we will be happy to help.
