Highways England M42 J6 Diversion – Birmingham UK

Project: Highways England M42 J6 Diversion
Location: Birmingham UK

Carrier Size: 4-pipe bundle (2 x DN 180 HDPE and 2 x DN450 HDPE)
Casing Size: 1500mm ID RCP Sleeve
Run Length: 135m
Spacer Model: HDXT-43 (43mm high)

Kwik-ZIP HDXT-43 spacers were used by UK infrastructure services and engineering company Amey to facilitate the slip-lining of a four-pipe bundle for the M42 J6 Diversion Project near Birmingham Airport in the UK. Junction 6 of the M42 connects the M42 motorway to the A45 to the east of Birmingham, and significant delays and congestion have been experienced by motorists due to capacity constraints. The M42 J6 Diversion Project was implemented to alleviate this congestion.

The 4-pipe bundle consisted of 2 x DN 180 HDPE and 2 x DN450 HDPE pipes and Kwik-Zip spacers were selected for this project due to their ability to secure the 4-pipe bundle together, their ability to work with any pipe profile and to protect and support the bundle during the slip-lining process.

Kwik-ZIP’s large range of spacers caters for a wide range of carrier / casing pipe size combinations as well as providing flexibility to deal with project alterations.

Kwik-ZIP spacers have no metal parts and are made from Kwik-ZIP’s engineered thermoplastic blend that is flexible, extremely tough and has a low co-efficient of friction.

“The spacer system was easily installed and was an excellent aid in slip lining the 4-pipe bundle through the tunnel which we had installed prior to slip lining works. An excellent product.” – Tim Lohoff: Site Manager – Amey.
