Features & Benefits
Flexible During Installation
Chambers can be adapted to suit on-site conditions with standard tools to build over existing networks, introduce duct entries for cable entry and for top-section adjustment.
Fast and Easy to Install
Fortress chambers are significantly faster to install than conventional alternatives, with complete installations typically taking up to one hour. This results in reduced costs for the installer. Only the largest sizes in the range require specialist equipment or plant in order to install the chamber.
Flat Pack Option
STAKKAbox™ Fortress can be supplied in flat pack format to make shipping more efficient, with flexible delivery options and installation.
Design
Chambers are built to the required depth (suited to your specific requirements) by adding 150mm sections at a time. Due to the twinwall design, individual sections are light meaning they can be manually lifted. Each access chamber possesses vertical and horizontal ribs, resulting in a product that is strong vertically and on the sidewall. Most installations do not require specialist backfills, reducing installation costs.
Smooth Outer Walls
Gaps in the outer wall will negatively impact the effectiveness of compaction around the chamber. STAKKAbox™ chambers have smooth outer walls and an outer lip which keys into the back-fill.
