Preventing Costly Damage with Downpipe Protectors
At TKO Bollards, we recently completed a project where we installed 16 galvanised downpipe protectors for a commercial client who had experienced costly damage to their exposed downpipes. After a series of incidents involving vehicle and forklift collisions, the client reached out to us to implement a reliable protection solution.
What Are Downpipe Protectors?
Downpipe protectors are heavy-duty guards designed to shield exposed pipework and other vulnerable building services from physical impact. These protectors are wrapped around existing structures to provide a strong barrier between valuable infrastructure and potential hazards.
They are especially useful in high-traffic environments, such as warehouses, car parks, loading docks and commercial buildings - anywhere that vehicles, forklifts, or trolleys operate close to building exteriors.
Key Benefits of Downpipe Protectors
-
✅ Impact Resistance: Made from high-strength materials like galvanised steel, these protectors absorb and deflect impact from vehicles.
-
✅ Cost-Saving Protection: Prevents expensive repairs to drainpipes, water pipes, electrical conduits and data cabling.
-
✅ Versatile Application: Suitable for protecting a range of services including:
-
Downpipes
-
Service pipes
-
Electrical cables
-
Data and comms cabling
-
-
✅ Easy Installation: Can be installed directly around existing infrastructure without the need for costly modifications.
