Efficient installation is therefore crucial , which has resulted in the increasing popularity of push-fit technology and modular design
large amounts of water also means they are often big and bulky , which can prove tricky to install and lead to delays in the projects where they are needed most .
Small in size , big on results
The latest technology has been designed to address this challenge , offering a range of features that help to keep projects running on time . Wavin ’ s AquaCell NG attenuation tank has been specifically created with smaller installation spaces in mind , benefitting from a nested design that allows it to be stacked and stored on site in a quarter of the space required when compared with traditional tanks .
This helps to keep sites clutter-free , which is crucial from a health and safety perspective , but it also has added project management advantages . A more compact footprint means fewer deliveries to site , which can prove invaluable in urban centre builds that have restricted site access arrangements , sometimes requiring road closures – thereby , causing significant disruption to the surrounding community . It also helps to reduce the overall emissions impact of a project , which continues to be an important consideration in the sector .
Improved installation
As below ground drainage is often one of the first things to be installed on site , it is vital that attenuation tanks are straightforward to handle to prevent potentially costly delays .
