MultiDuc System is the modern way of constructing UTX (Under Track Crossings) and maximising valuable track possessions. MultiDuc consists of a duct bank option with 4, 6 and 9 way options, a broad range of accessories are also available. MultiDuc parts combined with Polyvaults allow Carson customers to achieve significant cost savings in UTX installations. MultiDuc system is the preferred method used by several national rail companies in Europe and the U.S.

specified:
The appropriate class of manhole top or gully top to be used depends upon
the place of installation. The selection of the appropriate class is the
responsibility of the designer. Where there is any doubt the stronger class
should be selected.
Clause 5 EN124
Carson box, cover and frame solutions are tested and rated against EN124 standards.
The cover and frame is marked and fully compliant with the standard.
The standard specifies features and strengths to suit different loading profiles found in
public spaces from footpaths to airports.

Lighter castings for ease of use

Ductile Iron has all the traditional qualities associated with Grey Iron and is chemically almost identical. By treating iron with magnesium, the inherent weak nature of the flake graphite structure is converted to a strong spheroidal graphite structure, known as Ductile Iron.
The obvious advantages of
specifying and using Ductile Iron
Covers are:-
Greater Strength
Higher Impact Resistance
Better Durability

Carson Industries is the world's largest manufacturer of pre-formed access / manhole chambers and Multi Duc systems, with in excess of 50 million chambers and 1million Multi Ducs installed world-wide, over the past 40 years.
The Carson Industries production facility has been in operation since 1993 and services the European and Middle Eastern markets.
The Carson chamber products are manufactured from High Density Polyethylene, (HDPE), using the unique Structural Foam Moulding process, which produces strong yet lightweight products, which are easy to handle on site and offer significant installation savings. They do not require expensive lifting equipment or concrete backfill surround. The speed of installation makes it possible to complete the installation without having to revisit the site at a later stage.
The products are extensively used across Europe in the Railway (Iarnrod Eireann, LUAS, Network Rail (UK) etc), Telecom & CATV (Eircom, BT, Telewest, NTL, etc), Water, Gas and Electrical utilities, Golf Courses, Drainage, Civil projects etc.
In addition to the standard one piece Small and Medium Box Series, Carson Industries can also offer the modular Polyvault Series. These modular chambers can be adjusted in length, width and height in accordance with your projects specific requirements.
A selection of new 'Ring Stacking Chambers', Ref: Utility Rings, Footway Fortress and Carriageway Fortress, have recently been developed. These chambers enable the contractor to build the chamber to the depth required and are particularly suitable to
applications where the depth of existing duct is unknown or where unforeseen obstacles are uncovered.The Carriageway Fortress is the only chamber, which is certified for use in EN124D400 and EN124E600 roadway applications.
The Structural Foam Moulded HDPE products can be easily cut and drilled on site for duct entries and the fitting of chamber furniture and steps. Alternatively, these duct entries and fittings can be pre-installed at the Carson production facility.
All of the chambers can be fitted with a HDPE, Ductile Iron or Concrete cover and frame, depending on the EN124 loading requirement. These covers can also be fitted with a range of security locks and keys and will carry the relevant customer logo and markings.
Whatever your application, there's a Carson chamber and cover solution that meets your dimension and loading requirements.
