Main Elements for Business Drainage

Drainage systems in business properties require a set of specific features to manage flow effectively. Components here such as access junctions, access pipes, anti-flood gullies and back traps ensure reliability and long-term function.

Joining Pipework

Access junctions provide access for maintenance while linking multiple pipes. Installed at sensible points, they assist to detect blockages and deal with them quickly. In complex drainage layouts, they simplify the effort needed for system upkeep.

Keeping the System Open for Checks

Access pipes are upright pipes giving direct access into the network. Placed at planned intervals, they make blockages to be cleared without disruption. They also act as backup safeguards, reducing the risk of wastewater spilling inside commercial buildings.

Flood Defence

Anti-flood gullies protect surface water from overloading drains. Effective in areas of frequent rainfall, they block backflow and keep water moving into the system. This minimises potential damage, avoids business downtime, and safeguards property and staff.

Preventing Wastewater Return

Back traps create a barrier that blocks wastewater moving in the wrong direction. Fitted at necessary locations, they help with hygiene, control odours, and prevent unsanitary conditions.
