If you're looking for up-to-date information about the latest products, techniques and innovations in pipes and drainage, then you've come to the right place. Like veins conveying blood around the body, pipes and drainage play a crucial role in UK water and wastewater infrastructure, ensuring drinking water is supplied safely to our homes and that wastewater and stormwater are taken away to be treated or disposed of. And just as cells in the body need to replenish themselves regularly in order to stay healthy, our water infrastructure needs to be renewed and cared for if it is to ful‡ l its vital function. As we approach the 2019 price review and the start of the next AMP period, water utilities and their contrac- tors will be sharpening their focus on the resilience as well as the cost e‹ ectiveness of their built assets, and will also be alive to the possibilities of innovation. And with the threat of climate change and Œ ooding never far away, local authorities and housing developers will also be looking at the best ways of ensuring that their infrastructure is equipped with e‹ ective drainage and is resistant to the vicissitudes of the weather. We hope that this guide will provide buyers of pipes and drainage products with plenty of food for thought as they make the decisions which will shape our water and wastewater infrastructure for years to come.
