DP World London Gateway

EasyPIT® ULTRA | EasyGRIP®

Container ship berthed at DP World London Gateway

Overview

London Gateway is a £1.5 billion deep-water container port and logistics park near Stanford-le-Hope — the largest project of its kind in Britain, creating 12,000 jobs at the port and an estimated 3,000 more in linked activity. Advanced Infrastructure supplied the EasyPIT® ULTRA chamber system and EasyGRIP® composite covers as part of an ongoing, larger supply contract at DP World.

Approach

The most recent call-off saw EasyPIT® ULTRA chambers deployed across the development’s underground cable and duct network. The twin-wall recycled polypropylene system was selected for its D400 structural rating and modular build — each 150mm ring stacking to depth without a concrete surround for most applications, keeping installation fast on a live, large-scale construction site. EasyGRIP® composite covers were paired with the chambers: non-conductive for electrical and telecoms networks, anti-skid tested for pedestrian areas, and with no scrap value to attract theft across the expansive port estate.

Technical Specifications

  • Chamber system: EasyPIT® ULTRA twin-wall recycled polypropylene

  • Load rating: BS EN 124 D400 — 40 tonne wheel loads

  • Covers: EasyGRIP® SMC composite, galvanised steel frames

  • Slip resistance: Low slip potential — pendulum test value 36+

  • Supply basis: Call-off against long-term framework contract

Results

Repeat call-offs across the wider DP World contract confirm the system’s performance in one of the UK’s most demanding logistics environments. The chamber-and-cover package from a single manufacturer guaranteed compatibility at every installation, while lightweight modular components allowed crews to keep pace with the port’s construction programme without specialist lifting equipment or extended reinstatement times.
