Stormsaver and Fullflow Deliver For G Park
A state of the art distribution facility recently
sold for nearly £18 million features the latest in drainage and
rainwater harvesting technologies to ensure its new owners AXA REIM
benefit from significant cost savings and water re-use.
Leading rainwater harvesting company Stormsaver and syphonic
drainage specialists Fullflow completed the installation of the
innovative water saving system at the 329,700 sq ft (30,630 sq m)
distribution centre at G.Park Worksop earlier this year.
The system provides two thirds of the water required each year by
the building’s flushing demand and will reduce the site’s water bill
by over £1,000 per year.
Rainfall on to the building’s roof is drained at high velocity by
the Fullflow system, which features just 144 outlets and 16
downpipes. Typically a Fullflow syphonic system uses up to 80% less
downpipes, reduces installation time and ground works, offers
greater design flexibility and can drain roofs up to eight times
faster than gravity system alternatives
The water is fed into Stormsaver’s 9,600 litre tank via a
pressurised system from where it is filtered and stored until
needed, when it is pumped into the building’s WC and urinal system.
Unlike the majority of Stormsaver systems, this one features an
above ground tank, positioned in a second floor plant room.
Ian Pamplin of Anderson Green, the M&E consultants on the project,
specified the Stormsaver system because of the company’s ability to
develop an above ground solution. “The build was incredibly quick,
taking just six months to complete. With time being of the essence,
digging up the hard standing to modify the drainage to allow an
underground tank to be installed just wasn’t an option,” explains
Ian. “I approached several rainwater harvesting companies and
Stormsaver was the only one that was able to develop a solution for
above ground installation and integration into the building’s
existing drainage system.”
Anderson Green reported to Nik Chambers of C A Sothers, who was
impressed with the way in which Fullflow, Stormsaver and he were
able to work together.
“This project was unusual in that the Stormsaver tank had to sit in
the second floor plant room. This presented us with an obstacle and
the challenge of getting the tank into position and assembled on a
very busy site,” he says. “We managed it though. There was full
co-ordination and dialogue between Stormsaver, Fullflow and
ourselves which meant the installation of both the syphonic drainage
and rainwater harvesting systems went very smoothly indeed.”
As well as the Stormsaver and Fullflow systems, the sustainable
warehouse also includes Gazeley’s multi award-winning EcoTemplate
design features. The environmentally aware design model is setting
the benchmark for sustainable development and delivering massive
energy, water and carbon dioxide reductions in the environmental
performance of new warehouse buildings.
Gazeley offers a standard suite of eco-efficient initiatives on all
new buildings at no extra cost to the end user. Therefore, future
occupiers benefit from an eco-effective warehouse and lower energy
and water bills.
