Sand Traps

Metal Pipes 1. They include pipes made from iron, copper, stainless steel, brass and galvanized steel. 2. Brass and copper have high resistance to corrosion which has conventionally made them a preferred piping material in homes. 3. Galvanized steel pipes are also resistant to rust and corrosion and can withstand mineral deposits which extends the longevity of the pipes. 4. Not all metal pipes are safe for supplying drinking water as they can corrode or rust over time and contaminate the water. 5. Metal pipes are also subject to high wear and tear and cracks can cause leaks in the system, and also damage the structure in the long run. Plastic Pipes 1. Plastic pipes are either polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), which are all thermoplastics. 2. PVC is a low-cost, lightweight, corrosion and rust-resistant piping material which is suitable for installation in domestic constructions and for the supply of drinking water. 3. CPV

When it comes to water management for community and public areas, due care is taken to plan the installation of the appropriate infrastructure to ensure the safety of the public and to maximize efficiency. The drainage of surface runoff in case of rains or flooding is of the essence for reasons of public safety, health and hygiene. Among the various installations which are made in such a drainage system, sand traps are an important mechanism. A sand trap is a surface installation, which, as the name suggests, is used to filter out the sand and gravel particles, and prevent their discharge into the main drains. They are made from plastic or concrete and are installed slightly below the main pavement or road surface to aid in the flow of the water at an incline and retain the sand while the filtered water can be discharged into the drain.
