A modern drainage solution for Mount Lucas Training Campus

Mount Lucas Training Centre, Ireland’s National Construction Training Campus in
County Offaly, recently upgraded its access roads and pedestrian areas. To manage
surface water efficiently and support sustainable construction practices, the
project team selected Duradrain.
The campus provides training across construction and renewable energy sectors. It
required a drainage solution that could handle runoff along busy roadways and
pedestrian paths, while remaining safe and simple to install. Duradrain’s lightweight,
modular units offered a practical solution, combining kerbing and drainage in a
single system and ensuring water is efficiently conveyed into the drainage network.
Duradrain units are uniquely lightweight, with each unit weighing less than 8 kg. This
reduces energy consumption during transport and makes handling on site easier
than traditional concrete alternatives. The modular design speeds up installation
but also improves site safety by eliminating the need for heavy lifting machinery.

Additionally, the units’ recycled polymer construction and efficient internal
capacity ensure large areas can be drained effectively, while supporting the
project’s environmental objectives and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
