Great Yarmouths Herring Bridge Project

Great Yarmouth's Herring Bridge Project

In 2023, Althon supplied a number of precast concrete headwalls, to Great Yarmouth’s Third River Crossing (Herring Bridge). All of these headwalls were made to order, and the majority of these were supplied with fitted accessories such as Kee Klamp Handrail, HDPE Non return Flap Valves, and Pond Liner Brackets at our customer’s request. One of the benefits of opting for pre fitted accessories, means there is less time spent on installation; saving valued time for contractors.

We offer an impressive range of headwalls, flow control and flood prevention products to choose from and can deliver throughout the United Kingdom on our FORS registered lorries.

10 years of manufacturing precast concrete inspection chambers

10 years of manufacturing precast concrete inspection chambers

The Althon range of Chieftan precast concrete inspection chambers has been designed to make installation on-site as straightforward as possible. Each inspection chamber comes in two halves with a reinforced cover slab. The units are cast to order to suit any pipe openings and invert levels required. The real benefit of using a Chieftan concrete inspection chamber is in the ability to pre-fit accessories to the unit prior to delivery to site.
