2004 was an important year for the syphonic drainage industry, with the publication of a Dti funded draft standard for Syphonic Roof Drainage, and the formation of the Syphonic Roof Drainage Association.
The draft standard is awaiting passage through the BSI process, but when published will give a real benefit to designers and specifiers, who for so long have not had a source of information and guidance as to correct design and installation procedures.
The SRDA was formed this year with the intention of:
• Raising the profile and status of the syphonic industry
• Providing clear, informative and impartial information to specifiers
• Giving specifiers the reassurance that member companies have signed up to a wide range of regularly monitored standards
