SW and FW drainage

Surface Water (SW) and Foul Water (FW) drainage systems are vital for managing water flow and ensuring proper sanitation in both residential and commercial properties. SW drainage systems are designed to handle rainwater runoff, directing it away from buildings and roads to prevent flooding and water damage. This system typically includes gutters, downpipes, drains, and soakaways, ensuring that stormwater is quickly and safely removed.

Foul Water drainage systems are responsible for transporting wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and other sanitation facilities. These systems direct the waste to the local sewer network or septic tanks. Proper installation and maintenance of FW drainage are crucial for hygiene, public health, and preventing contamination of the environment.

Both SW and FW drainage systems must be carefully planned and installed to meet local regulations and standards. The design needs to account for the size of the property, local weather conditions, and the volume of water likely to be handled. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the systems function effectively, reducing the risk of blockages, flooding, or contamination.
