Important technical announcement from Hauraton T
he European Water Frame- work Directive requires auth- orities to manage water
resources better and clean-up storm water commonly polluted with hydrocarbons, de-icing salt and heavy metals such as copper and zinc, before it enters a local water- course, surrounding land or a catch- ment area. The Hauraton DRAINFIX®
CLEAN
filter-bed drainage channel system is designed to directly cleanse poll- uted stormwater. In a relatively short time, pollutants, particles and organic matter from the surrounding drained surface wash into the channel sys-tem, penetrate the CARBOTEC 60 filter-bed and begin to form a filter cake. As the filter medium continues to mature, micro- organisms and small creatures invade and start a soil forming process; this absorbs the captured pollutants and speeds their break down. The channels are sized for this stage of the cycle, providing suffi- cient water retention volume to ensure there is no back-pressure or overflow of the system.

Extensive independent testing has
shown surface pollutants naturally attached themselves to very fine par- ticles and when it rains, these parti- cles are washed into the drainage system. The tests found very little of this polluted material was removed
by separators or retention systems; the DRAINFIX®
A DRAINFIX® CLEAN channels’
incorporating a filter-bed was the only system that worked effectively over a long period, removing most of the main pollutants found in stormwater run-off.
CLEAN samples
pack and explanatory leaflet is now available from Hauraton, with an online video demonstrating the effectiveness of the system via

BDA sets sustainability policy for brick industry HR PROF
Actively demonstrating its long-term commitment to sustainability on Stand N1450, the Brick Develop- ment Association (BDA) is keen to promote the virtues of building with brick and to dispel any common misconceptions including cost, durability and environmental issues. The Brick Development Association (BDA), which rep- resents the majority of the United Kingdom and Ireland’s clay brick and paver industries, has now pub- lished the industry’s sustainability credentials in a brochure entitled; “Brick: Building A Sustainable Resource For The Future”. The brochure provides crucial information for every- one involved in the specification of brick and masonry walling systems.
