Site rubbish chutes: safe, efficient rubble disposal

The rubble disposal system follows a strict modular logic, designed to adapt to the specific height of each building. The main column is built by assembling a progressive sequence of tapered plastic sections, which partly fit into one another to channel the falling debris. Keeping a well-balanced range of site chutes and hoppers in stock allows the contractor to configure the ideal descent path. The hopper acts as a wide loading point for wheelbarrows, while the straight sections form the body of the column. This modular design makes the delicate assembly and dismantling on scaffolding much easier, optimising timings and reducing the workload for operators.

The prolonged free fall of brick, tile and concrete fragments generates very strong internal friction and violent impacts against the walls of the structure. To prevent breakage, cracking or premature wear, professional sections are moulded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or special plastic polymers with external reinforcing ribs. These top-quality technical materials ensure outstanding kinetic-energy absorption, excellent resistance to mechanical abrasion and complete stability in the face of normal temperature swings and continuous exposure to sunlight during the summer season.

The overall stability of the entire chute column depends on the strength and correct positioning of its anchors. Safe installation requires specific metal support frames, designed to transfer the weight of the whole structure and the dynamic loads generated by falling debris directly onto the scaffold tubes or the load-bearing floor slabs. From an environmental point of view, enclosed disposal systems meet the strict regulations for urban sites precisely, radically preventing harmful fine dust from spreading into the air. This significantly improves the healthiness of the workplace and protects the appearance of public areas next to the building.

Plastic rubble chute sections are very bulky items that can quickly take up valuable storage space in warehouses. FT SPA actively supports its B2B customers with advanced logistics and fast shipping direct from its central hub, enabling retailers to fulfil large orders without having to hold excessive stock on site. To showcase the technical offer in store, Progetto Rivendita 2.0 provides rational display layouts for presenting related small parts, attachment frames and tie rods, encouraging cross-purchases and giving the site-equipment area a highly professional image.
