UTX Chambers (for Rail)
Under Track Crossing Chambers for Rail Applications
Under Track Crossing (UTX) Chambers are manufactured at our in-house fabrications facility to meet the cable protection needs of different signaling and telecommunications systems alongside and beneath railway tracks.
UTX Chambers can be used in conjunction with Ridgiduct and Ridgicoil cable protection systems, which all have been given approval by the UK's Network Rail Parts and Drawing Systems (PADS) (certificate number PA05/05875).
Applications
The chambers are approved for installation within both the cess areas (track side drainage) and track support zone 6ft areas.
Performance
Manufactured from structured-wall polyethylene pipework, the chambers can be engineered to suit site-specific requirements regarding height, diameter and spigot orientation. The chambers are resistant to most common chemicals and have a predicted design life in excess of 50 years.
