The IDEAL range allows for easy flow and buffering of water. The possibilities are endless. De Bonte Group also offers solutions for complicated intersections or siphon constructions. IDEAL channels or culverts comply with the applicable standards without impacting the price.Why choose for the IDEAL range ?Quality and robustness All elements are BENOR-approved and cast in smooth, dimensionally stable self-compacting concrete, guaranteeing finish quality.Watertight versionTo prevent decompression on seals, the IDEAL channels \u2013 the only ones in Belgium \u2013 have shear-force prevention. De Bonte Group manufactures tubular elements for various fields of application (as specified in SB250 cases 1 through 3).Prevention on site \u2013 extended lifespan\u2018Avoiding placement errors\u2019 was the rationale behind the design. The elements are therefore fitted with a safe DEHA lifting coupling to ensure optimum installation.
