POLYPIPE Terrain has launched a complete solution to drainage ventilation in the Gulf market, which it says is a direct outcome of a new partnership with Studor.
The new partnership across the region and the UK will benefit from a combination of Terrain’s expertise in drainage systems and Studor’s world-leading experience in providing drainage ventilation solutions.
The new Terrain Pleura drainage ventilation system – targeting designers and installers, ultimately benefiting the end client – utilises innovative products to provide an alternative approach to traditional drainage ventilation for domestic, commercial, low-rise, high-rise and super-high-rise applications. These include the Terrain PAPA (positive air pressure attenuator) and the Terrain Pleura Valve range, all of which have been developed using Studor technology to complement the Terrain drainage system.
The system equalises the pressure throughout the drainage system to provide increased protection for the traps by removing the risk of siphonage.
Significant reductions in installed cost can be achieved through both a reduction in the requirement for pipework and the installation time when compared to a traditional vented system, a spokesman for Polypipe Terrain says. Roof penetrations are also largely eliminated, resulting in improved building practices and building integrity.
“Modern high-rise and super-high rise buildings present their own unique challenges in terms of the ventilation of drainage systems,” explains Polypipe Gulf’s general manager Robin Appleby.
“The new Terrain Pleura drainage ventilation system is a scientifically-proven solution to meet those challenges.
“The simple and effective system provides greater freedom for system designers and can also be retrofitted to existing systems that experience ventilation-associated problems, very often noticed by the end clients in terms of bad smells or ‘gurgling traps’.”
“This new partnership further enhances Terrain’s offering to the market, and supports a business strategy that aims to provide new and improved solutions to the drainage market,” said Appleby.
