Core Features in Business Installations

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

Connecting Drainage Lines

Access junctions provide access for maintenance while linking multiple pipes. Installed at sensible points, they help to spot blockages and remove them quickly. In extensive drainage layouts, they reduce 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. Ideal 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.

Stopping Backflow

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