|
BLÜCHER UK has just launched a unique guide to the use of stainless steel drainage in the healthcare sector. The 16-page brochure contains a wealth of information for the specifier, and contains a list of over 230 hospitals, which have installed BLÜCHER drainage systems over the past five years.
In researching the document, BLÜCHER commissioned a study by the Building Performance Group, specialists in whole-life costing, to determine which drainage material represented best value over 30 and 50-year design lives. Basing the study on a typical PFI hospital design, BPG’s overwhelming conclusion was that Blücher’s EuroPipe® represented best value in both cases.

Maintenance and operating costs over a building’s design life are typically 5 and 200 times that of initial capital cost. In a hospital, these factors can be even higher. The UK healthcare sector’s determination to discard the principle of "lowest tender" in favour of design-life costing has proved that dramatic savings can be realised through specification of products such as stainless steel drainage.
The BLÜCHER range of stainless steel drainage products and systems including BLÜCHER EuroPipe® stainless steel pipework, floor drains and channels have already been installed in over 250 UK hospitals. BLÜCHER EuroPipe® is being increasingly specified because installers and clients find that it is light and easy to install, space saving, resistant to corrosive liquids and build-up of waste, obviates the need for fire stops between floors and requires virtually no maintenance. It is also easy to cut on site and is acknowledged to be the best product for use in hygiene areas.
