1: What are the approaches that can reduce hydrostatic pressure on your building?

Constructing a robust foundation, anchoring the building to the underground, or installing a drainage system – or all three in some cases

1: What are the approaches that can reduce hydrostatic pressure on your building?

There is no need to reduce the hydrostatic pressure as it adapts automatically to the weight of the building.

1: What are the approaches that can reduce hydrostatic pressure on your building?

Using the help of the local water supply company to once a year pump away the rising ground water around the building.

2: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?

When sanitary appliances are installed in the basement of an existing building, when space outside the building is limited or when excavation conditions are difficult.

2: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?

When there is a need to remove black and grey wastewater, drainage water and surface water.

2: When is it ideal to use a lifting station as a pressurised system for wastewater removal in commercial buildings?

When storage of wastewater volumes is required over a longer period of time.

3: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?

If the building next door does not have a drainage system, your building does not need one either.

3: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?

When the projected area of a building exceeds 2.000 m2 a drainage system is required.

3: How can you tell if you need to establish a drainage system as part of your building project?

By conducting a thorough pre-investigation of the conditions of the soil, the groundwater conditions, and the drainage situation on neighbouring lots.

4: What does a Grundfos MULTILIFT protect against?

Flooding of cooling towers

4: What does a Grundfos MULTILIFT protect against?

Too high concentration of faecal matters in the wastewater

You can find the answer here >

4: What does a Grundfos MULTILIFT protect against?

Backflow and basement flooding

5: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?

You can find the answer here >

5: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?

Yes

5: Would you recommend drainage around a building if there was soil of permeability and the groundwater level was above drainage level?

Could be necessary if the groundwater level is expected to rise

6: What makes the Grundfos MULTILIFT easy to install?

You only need to set the following in the controller: 1) the maximum number of starts/stops of the pumps and 2) the level of the high water level alarm in the controller.

You can find the answer here >

6: What makes the Grundfos MULTILIFT easy to install?

The system comes pre-assembled with a freely adjustable inlet and many other installer benefits

6: What makes the Grundfos MULTILIFT easy to install?

The system comes pre-assembled and all settings in the controller are set from the factory.
