PROJECT 39
Storage thanks and sewer flue
© Plumbing Africa | Rory Macnamara
The one innovation of note was what is called a sewage flue on the outgoing sewer which is like a water meter but on the sewer line . As one is charged for sewage by council in relation to water usage and the nature of the manufacturing operation requiring water , the gain was not only monetary but tracking the outgoing water .”
However , B . Braun had hi-tech pharmaceutical process equipment with very specific functional requirements thrown into the mix . “ We really worked together well as a professional team in overcoming all of these different challenges ,” notes Chihota . “ The developer was very open to our ideas and willing to take them onboard . While we have a longstanding relationship with Zenprop that we are continually nurturing , it is equally important that we establish close ties with other consultants as well .” PA
