Malcolm Atherton, Public Health Design Engineer:

“We prefer using PAM Buildings cast iron Ensign Soil system because of its superior acoustic performance and fire safety when compared to other pipe materials, especially in a hospital environment. Patient comfort and safety are both top priorities for hospitals”.

“It is also durable and designed to last the lifetime of the hospital with minimal maintenance and is resistant to any possible damage whether accidental or deliberate.”

Solutions provided:

•Ensign soil above ground drainage system.

•VortX plant gullies, shower drains & roof outlets.

•Ductile iron pipe-fittings for the pump drainage systems.

•Grip collars for sensitive drainage areas.

Rich Smith, Specification & Sales Team Manager for PAM Building:

“We have a wider range of products and fittings than other suppliers which for an application as diverse as this is vital. As a UK manufacturer, we can also meet the project’s supply needs and deal with any unusual specifications promptly."

An example of this is with the shower drains for level 4 of the building, which had to be supplied with various different spigot lengths already fitted to them, in order to speed up installation time. These spigots could be up to 2.8 metres in length as they had to pass through a concrete beams of different depths and then simply push straight into the connection below."
