Main Elements for Business Drainage

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

Linking the Network

Access junctions allow access for inspection while linking multiple pipes. Installed at planned points, they make it easier to detect blockages and resolve them quickly. In large-scale drainage layouts, they streamline the effort needed for system upkeep.

Providing Access for Maintenance

Access pipes are upright pipes giving direct access into the network. Placed at planned intervals, they enable blockages to be cleared without costly excavation. They also serve as emergency outlets, reducing the risk of wastewater escaping inside commercial buildings.

Flood Defence

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

Preventing Wastewater Return

Back traps create a barrier that stops wastewater moving in the wrong direction. Fitted at important locations, they maintain hygiene, reduce odours, and avoid unsanitary conditions.
