Drainage
This text provides an overview of how we deal with the collection, treatment and disposal of waste. We look at the common collection and treatment of sewage and the processes involved with these, and then we explore alternative methods of disposal, for example, where a municipal facility is not available. The text then progresses through the processes of ‘laying up’ a drain, from excavation considerations and levelling procedures to drainlaying principles and practices. Treatment of trade waste on-site is also discussed and, as with most things, it varies from area to area. Your local manufacturers are a great resource in this respect. They have already done the groundwork as to authority requirements to provide products that meet their needs. The final chapters deal with what happens above ground, namely ‘stackwork’ and installation of fixtures. The basis for the regulatory information in this text has been the standard AS/NZS3500 which is applicable to most areas and adopted by most authorities.
