Rainwater Solutions
Insufficient rainwater drainage systems can be the source of chaotic and expensive problems. An overflowing valley or boundary wall gutter could cause tens of thousands of pounds worth of material damage and a loss of numerous work hours from the resultant conditions.
Calculations to ascertain the suitability of an existing or proposed system are carried out in accordance with the current British standard BSEN12056-3:2000, with solutions taking careful consideration of the clients existing drainage system, practicality of design and disruption to the existing working area (in the case of occupied buildings).
In summary, prevention is always a better solution than the cure; for a relatively small amount of time during the design stage, rainwater calculations can be carried out which could, potentially, save thousands of pounds in the longer term. Similarly, if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of owning an existing building which suffers from an over burdened gutter, calculations can be provided to advise remedial action for the prevention of future problems.
