Start with the discharge requirements
Trade waste design depends on what the operation discharges and the requirements of the receiving utility. OTG reviews the project brief, equipment information and available authority conditions before defining the hydraulic design scope.
The aim is a coordinated arrangement for pre-treatment and drainage that supports the applicable discharge requirements. Utility approval and operating conditions remain project-specific.
What the design can include
- Review of equipment, fixtures and the proposed trade waste streams
- Pre-treatment requirements within the agreed hydraulic scope
- Drainage layouts, pipe routes and connection details
- Coordination of treatment plant space and maintenance access
- Design documentation and assistance with project queries as agreed
We identify the information and specialist interfaces needed for the project. The fee proposal sets out the deliverables, exclusions and authority-related work included in the engagement.
Coordinate access as well as pipework
Practical plumbing experience informs the design of service routes and maintenance access. We work with the architectural information so trade waste equipment and drainage can be accommodated in the building.
Frequently asked questions
What types of projects can you assess?
Send the brief for your commercial kitchen, laboratory or process area, along with the equipment and discharge information. We will confirm whether the required work is within our discipline and scope the engagement.
Is a particular treatment system always required?
The appropriate pre-treatment depends on the waste stream and utility requirements. We need the project information before confirming an arrangement.
What should I send for a fee proposal?
Send the architectural layout, equipment schedule, existing drainage information, authority correspondence and programme. Include any known access or plant-space constraints.
