Backflow prevention with WaStop Access

Backflow prevention with WaStop Access

The contractor SH Bygg in Uppsala has been commissioned by Skanska and Uppsala Parkerings AB to avoid a possible backflow towards the stormwater reservoir and the pipe towards the building upstream. This could mean flooding and problems with the sewage system. Backflow towards the stormwater reservoir and the pipe upstream can cause several problems in the sewage system. For example, it can lead to flooding and damage to properties and infrastructure,

The solution

To ensure that backflow will not occur and solve the problem, SH Bygg installed a ø1000 Wastop Access well. The solution is specially designed to prevent backflow and ensure that stormwater flows unhindered through the pipes. Our WaStop Access system is an ingenious solution to prevent backflow of wastewater and stormwater. It is easy to install and easy to maintain, making it a popular choice for many customers. We are proud to have delivered a high-quality and durable solution to our customer. If you also have problems with backflow in your sewage system, do not hesitate to get in touch.
