Wise water management is a part of every project and helps ensure a successful built outcome whether a residence, an office block, a hospitality venue or a civic building. Finding solutions to address water management challenges such as drainage is an imperative especially when building a home but what is required? Which products are best to use, what meets code and addresses regulations and how will drainage impact the aesthetics of a project? With sustainability at the center of every project and product, how can drainage systems meet the requirements of today’s environment and accommodate both budget and the needs of the globe? Understanding the how, what, where and why of drainage will ensure that the correct systems are utilised for a more sustainability future.
