Intense rain events, project design and water control post-construction
The changing climate patterns require a revaluation of water control practices in construction projects. By prioritising effective water management from the design phase through to post-construction, we can mitigate the impact of intense rain events and prevent potential damage. Implementing improved backfilling techniques, utilizing larger (or more) drain coils positioned well below finish floor level, larger volume of backfill and performing regular maintenance are crucial steps toward a more resilient and sustainable approach to water control.
