CSD Duct Seals & Duct Sealing

CSD RISE Duct Sealing System - Flood Defence

 

In recent years we have seen how the flooding of just a single electricity substation can cause a loss of power for thousands of homes and businesses. Flooding of LV HV substations is one of the key threats identified by energy firms during a review of climate change and the impact it could have on their business.

The distribution network operators (DNO's) have agreed to ensure protection of their existing infrastructure assets and to complete flood resilience projects costing more than £109 million before 2015. This flood protection program is being monitored by the regulator, OFGEM, who plans to review progress in July 2012.

CSD RISE Cable Duct Sealing Systems range of flood protection products, which include the RISE Duct seal system are already widely adopted throughout the energy sector providing high levels of watertight integrity for cable ducts or where services enter buildings. CSD are working very closely with many of the network operators helping to meet the requirements of the program and to ensure their assets are fully protected.


CSD RISE RAPID cable duct sealing system provides an effective and simple solution protecting against flood and gas ingress. It consists of only two components: Nofirno sealant, a high quality silicone based sealant and Nofirno rubber multi sleeves. The completed duct seal will prevent the migration of dangerous gases and provide flood protection for more than 50 years.
