Poor roof drainage poses significant risks in modern construction – from flooding and structural damage to project delays and cost overruns. As buildings grow larger
Many countries in Asia are facing a severe water crisis. Rapid population growth and urbanisation have significantly outpaced water infrastructure development, with projections indicating that
Data centres form the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, supporting everything from cloud computing to artificial intelligence (AI). However, their continued maintenance requires vast resources.
Drawing inspiration from ancient Greek rainwater harvesting techniques Water is one of our most essential resources, and managing it effectively has been crucial to human
How Capcon is addressing the challenges of ageing drainage infrastructure. Capcon Engineering, a leader in the design and installation of rainwater drainage systems, is seeing
With vast roof areas and complex building designs, traditional gravity-based systems often fall short. In this context, siphonic drainage systems emerge as not only the best option but sometimes the only viable solution.
When Rainwater Drainage Systems Fail You might have seen the incredible footage of the catastrophic rainwater roof drainage failure in a Costco in Manchester a
A misconception about siphonic drainage systems is that they are more prone to blockages than traditional gravity systems. This article aims to dispel this myth and clarify why they are actually LESS prone to blockages.
While Siphonic Drainage works very well with Green Roof systems, in a Blue Roof scenario we do not recommend siphonic drainage.
What should we be aware of when breaking the siphonic action prior to the Rainwater Drainage termination point?
Yes, in some circumstances. However based on our experience, we’re more likely to recommend gravity drainage to the podium area.
Is siphonic drainage compatible with a green roof system? The short answer is yes and with some advantages.
