Terrain drainage stacks help with on-site storage solutions

According to the United Nations, Earth’s population will have reached 9 billion by 2050, with 66% of us living in cities. In cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester, where they’re already highly-populated - and with heavy development, that’s going to be a tight squeeze!

While this push for urban living is undoubtedly music to the ears of architects, developers and contractors, it poses a number of problems. When previous generations have fled to the suburbs and garden-cities, it was easy to build out and create sprawling housing estates. In cities that already have a large number of structures and limited space – the only way is up.

Whether retrofitting or delivering a new development, this lack of space can pose a real issue, with contractors and sub-contractors from a variety of disciplines having to deliver to tight deadlines in even tighter spaces. In addition, a lack of footfall often means no storage for vital equipment and project components, creating difficulties for everyone throughout the supply chain.

At Polypipe, our decades of experience working on some of the UK’s most high profile commercial and high rise residential projects means that we’re well used to delivering the goods on sites with limited storage. Our dedicated project managers work with you to work out an exact delivery schedule, meaning our manufactured drainage stacks never reach the site before you need them, ensuring that they can be installed straight away with no need for storage.

These project schedules mean that not everything arrives on site in one go, so site managers aren’t left with the headache of deciding how to fit this delivery into their project plan. Our project managers manage the whole process and even deliver items in a floor-by-floor sequence as they’re needed.

Manufactured under factory-controlled conditions, every fabricated drainage stack featuring Terrain drainage systems is delivered assembled based on the exact specifications of the project, so there’s no waste and no need for additional labour to undertake assembly – saving even more space, time and money. What’s more, our Terrain PVC Soil and Waste and Terrain FUZE stacks are much lighter in weight than traditional materials like cast iron and the simple connections fitted within our stacks make installation easy.
