Fullflow provide syphonic knowledge for Stroud College
Syphonic drainage specialist Fullflow has recently completed the design, manufacture, and installation of a syphonic drainage system for the new college building at Stroud College in Gloucestershire.
The new college building, designed by Architects Ellis Williams, has a roof area of over 4000m2 requiring a flexible drainage system which could remove rainwater efficiently from the roof, without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the building.
The solution was to use Fullflow’s syphonic drainage system requiring fewer downpipes of smaller diameter than a traditional drainage system. Coupled with the ability to route pipework horizontally, this reduction in downpipe quantity and diameter size provided the architect with greater flexibility. Consequently the overall design was not compromised by large and unsightly pipework. Additionally less materials, inspection points and underground work was required.
Ben Ramsay, Project Manager for Moss Construction, commented; “The Fullflow syphonic system was chosen because of its competitive price. Fullflow are a well known name and their reputation has proven itself on the number of occasions where I have worked with them, right through from design to installation.”
The college’s syphonic drainage system was designed for the maximum rainfall intensity of 108mm/hr and required only 4 downpipes to remove approximately 112 l/s of rain water.
The new college building will provide staff and students with resources and learning facilities that are amongst the best in the country.
