In an business first, Alumasc has designed a cutting-edge Rainwater and Drainage Calculator enabling Architects and Specifiers to construct roof drainage programs which are robotically compliant to BS EN 12056:2000 and are designed to guard for the lifetime of the building.
The calculator presents the person with four modules for the calculation of: Foul Drainage, Internal Rainwater, Flat Roof Drainage and External Rainwater Drainage.
The Flat Roof calculator will design a system to cater for the rainfall intensity of a specific challenge location. By inputting related standards, comparable to roof area and design necessities, it should calculate the required outlet type and number required.
Once the Flat Roof drainage requirements have been ascertained, the Internal Drainage calculator builds an inside stack system to take rainwater internally from the flat roof, developing quite a lot of schematics exhibiting the configuration of pipework as it could seem throughout the building.
For Foul Drainage, the system determines the scale of Harmer SML pipework primarily based upon the variety of home equipment that shall be related to the stack. The consumer is prompted to pick out factors applicable to the type of constructing then a drainage system is designed in accordance with BSEN 12056-two:2000.
For external rainwater disposal, the Rainwater Gutter calculator designs a system based mostly on a range of standards input by the user. The system calculates the right gutter measurement and type, offering frequency of pipework based mostly on the info entered. This knowledge is then retained for use across the alternative product ranges and profiles.
Architect Dan Boucher used the Rainwater and drainage Calculator for the primary time on a recent Flat Roof project. He comments: “The cutting-edge software program is a very simple and intuitive system. I can see this becoming a normal and significant a part of my specification process any longer and I would haven’t any hesitation in recommending this software program to different Architects and Specifiers”.
