Environmental Provida – the landfill division of Fusion Provida, the Chesterfield-

based utility products and services distributor - has invested over £100k in a state-of-the-art pipe slotting machine. The machine is believed to be the only slotting machine fitted with a double-headed cutter that facilitates fast and accurate production.

The new slotting machine can accommodate 63mm to 630mm diameter pipe of any SDR rating. Available in 3m or 6m lengths, Environmental Provida’s slotted pipe can also be threaded for sizes up to 250mm diameter. Further investment means that threaded pipe will be available in larger sizes in the very near future.

Ken Bainbridge, General Manager for Environmental Provida, commented: ”The new slotting machine further enhances our existing extrusion, threading and fabrication facilities and places Environmental Provida as a leading supplier of turnkey leachate and landfill gas pipework solutions”.
