Supra Group specializes in the manufacture of cast Iron Pipes in Delhi rainwater, soil and drainage products. We appreciate the properties of cast iron and are industry experts in the material which offers numerous benefits.

#1: Strong

Cast iron will not deflect under loads; this makes it the perfect choice for below ground drainage installations; special bedding and over-excavation of trenches are not required to withstand damage from ground movement. This well-known strength also benefits above ground systems securing against heavy snow falls, high winds and the weight of ladders.

#2: Robust

Cast iron is strong as well as able to withstand the rigors of onsite handling; pre-finished products are supplied wrapped to additional protect them during transportation. Its low coefficient of growth and contraction also contradicts the requirement for expansion joints. High resistance to impact is particularly beneficial in areas for example schools and car parks, where exposed pipe work may be liable to accidental damage or vandalism.

#3: Long-Lasting

Cast iron pipe systems can be one of the most durable components of a building, with the ability to withstand mechanical unblocking and maintenance additional to its normal daily use. Resistant to damage from hot liquids and cast iron does not warp or fade in the sun; protective primer & high specification paint coatings also provide improved performance when exposed to aggressive substances.

#4: Fire Resistant

Cast iron cannot burn and in the event of a fire will not contribute to spread or burn away to allow the transfer of flames, emit toxic fumes or melt and drip. Construction regulations do not require intumescent fire collars to be fitted to cast iron systems.

#5: Low Maintenance

Known as fit and forget material, cast iron requires negligible maintenance which is particularly significant when pipe work is concealed, inaccessible and when maintenance would be disruptive to the occupants of the building. Annual inspections are recommended however if systems are properly installed, only periodic painting should be required.

#6: Long Lasting

Cast iron provides longevity for rainwater, soil or drainage solutions; installations have been proven to last well more than 100 years. Physical properties are retained through a products lifetime and standards remain constant which means expanding or repairing existing systems is incredibly easy.

#7: Recyclable

Cast iron utilizes about 100% scrap and recycled metal in the manufacturing process and is 100 percent recycled at the end of its durability. Cast iron is a Greenpeace recommended drainage material and is the most favorable choice for reducing the environmental impact of a project.

#8: Cost-Effective

The unparalleled lifespan combined with low maintenance requirements makes a cast iron system cost effective compared to other materials. It can as well provide cost savings when intumescent fire collars, sound insulation, expansion joints, extra support brackets or special bedding necessities are required for different products to satisfy building regulations.

#9: Sustainable

Cast iron has a lower impact in terms of energy consumption & CO2 emissions than PVC and aluminum taking into account, cycle installation, embodied energy, and embodied CO2, repair and maintenance cost and whole life cost.
