Terrain Drainage Stacks are putting safety first

What’s the most valuable asset of your company? If your mind has started wandering to corporate headquarters, intellectual property or manufacturing machinery then think again. There’s nothing more important than an organisation’s people.

While legislation means that we all must make our workplaces safer - health and safety in construction can be difficult to manage. Despite advances in safety training and awareness, there are still a number of cases managed each year by the Health and Safety executive involving on-site cases where serious injury, or worse, have occurred.

It’s easy to see why accidents can happen. Sites are often busy, with several contracting teams working on different aspects of the project at the same time. New tradespeople could enter the site every day, who are unlikely to be familiar with the site and what risks lurk around each corner. There are also still many tasks that require the movement of heavy items that could cause serious injury.

Thankfully, advances in product manufacture mean that a number of risks can be mitigated against.

Featuring Terrain drainage systems, our fabricated drainage stacks are lighter in weight and easier to transport, greatly reducing injury risk to contractors on-site, compared to drainage stacks manufactured from alternative materials which can be cumbersome and pose a risk of serious injury. The innate benefit of plastic’s weight also means they also require less people to handle them – reducing the number of contractors required on site.

Terrain fabricated drainage stacks don’t need to be welded either - they’re delivered to site ready to be dropped in place and connected to the floors above and below, speeding up drainage installation, so projects can be completed more quickly, keeping time on site to a minimum and further reducing risk.
