About LITESPEED

ASSET International Ltd, in conjunction with Morrison Construction Services Ltd. and Hyder Consulting as part of Welsh Water Alliance, have developed LITESPEED, a revolutionary prefabricated system which utilises HDPE structured wall pipe (Weholite) in the formation of bespoke Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) chambers, to give a solution that is expected to reduce the on-site construction costs of CSO chambers by around 30%*.

The straight-forward bespoke design of the LITESPEED chamber (a void, formerly manufactured from Weholite, which houses mechanical and static screens), means it can be manufactured to any size. Combined with the relatively lightweight properties of the Weholite pipe, the overall weight is reduced dramatically. LITESPEED has substantial benefits using the developed plastic structure in comparison to traditional concrete or other modular products.

The introduction of LITESPEED was spearheaded by the Welsh Water Capital Alliance in South Wales during AMP3 before its gradual introduction across the UK.

LITESPEED was initially used for storage provision and developed to include screen chambers for remote sites with poor access or soft ground. Manufacturing challenges of large slots in the pipe for access have been overcome and all components of a CSO, including flow control devices, are fitted inside the pipe.
