Access Junctions, Pipes, Anti-Flood Gullies and Back Traps Overview

Core Features in Business Installations

Drainage systems in business properties require a set of specific features to manage flow website effectively. Components such as access junctions, access pipes, anti-flood gullies and back traps help maintain reliability and long-term function.

Joining Pipework

Access junctions provide access for maintenance while linking multiple pipes. Installed at planned points, they make it easier to detect blockages and deal with them quickly. In complex drainage layouts, they reduce the effort needed for system upkeep.

Keeping the System Open for Checks

Access pipes are upright pipes giving direct access into the network. Placed at regular intervals, they enable blockages to be cleared without disruption. They also double as overflow points, reducing the risk of wastewater spilling inside commercial buildings.

Flood Defence

Anti-flood gullies stop surface water from overloading drains. Effective in areas of frequent rainfall, they block backflow and keep water moving into the system. This minimises potential damage, avoids business downtime, and safeguards property and staff.

Preventing Wastewater Return

Back traps provide a barrier that blocks wastewater moving in the wrong direction. Fitted at necessary locations, they support hygiene, control odours, and prevent unsanitary conditions.
