Description
Well-void was designed specifically to be a versatile high strength-low cost bored pile liner for the construction industry.
Applications
Well-Void Type 3C and 20-1C have a unique profile designed for maximum strength to weight ratio and to provide an economical duct. Applications include:-
Permanent pile liners, wells and caissons
Prevents seepage and fall-in, simplifies construction and reduces preparation time. Resists the distortions caused by the hydrostatic pressures of concrete.
Void formers in concrete
Saves weight and is economical to install in bridges and concrete structures, will not leach from surrounding concrete, grout proof end caps available.
Column forming in buildings
Eliminates costly traditional methods of column forming. Pre-cut lengths – just position and pour.
Sizes
All diameters from 125mm (5”) up to 1524mm (60”)
Features
The unique deep roll-formed internal corrugations which guarantees the maximum strength to weight ratio.
Resists the distortions caused by the hydrostatic pressures of concrete.
Ensures a first class sure bond to concrete.
Socketed lockseam which minimises any restriction in the annulus during pile case retrieval.
Versatile high strength-low cost.

Storm Water Attenuation
Posted on August 21, 2014 by Martin Fisher -
Underground storm water storage tanks are becoming increasingly important as Water Authorities often recommend that new developments have their own storage water tank systems.
Here at Wells we have been both designing and manufacturing these systems for nearly 50 years.
Applications
The increased run-off of surface water from large developments, car parks etc. can be many times the capacity of existing sewers and water courses. An outlet water management system is essential and the Well-Void Extra Plus culvert stormwater storage tank system offers the simplest, most versatile and most cost effective solution to the problem. Any design configuration can be accommodated including manholes, inlets, outlets, end plates, elbows and flanged tube connectors. All pre-fabrication is undertaken in our factory for simple on-site installation
Sizes
Up to 2.2m diameter
Features
Lightweight-High strength
Well-Void tanks can normally be fabricated and delivered within a few weeks.
Unique jointing system
Considerable material cost savings Due to the reinforcing effect of the 4-ply lockseam.
