Cable Duct Sealing

CSD RISE Duct Sealing - Fire, Watertight & Gastight

Building & Substation Cable Duct Sealing Solutions

In the aftermath of violent storms in the North East of England, Thorne & Derrick were inundated with enquiries for solutions to seal electricity substations and building penetrations against flood risk. Vital electrical installations are at severe risk from flood waters if not correctly sealed.
