In modern architecture, water drainage is one of the most fundamental elements protecting the building's lifespan and structural integrity. Emergency drainage systems (scuppers), which activate when the main drainage capacity is exceeded or outlets are at risk of clogging, ensure that accumulated water is discharged outside without damaging the structure.
Why is a Scupper System Necessary?
Scupper outlets are installed through parapet walls to discharge towards the exterior. Their primary goal is to prevent water from reaching dangerous levels on the roof during heavy rainfall.
- Visual Warning Mechanism: Water flowing from the scupper is easily visible from ground level. This serves as an early warning signal that the main outlets require maintenance.
- Quick Intervention: Potential clogs in the drainage line can be noticed without climbing the roof, allowing for prompt action.
Technical Specifications and Application
For a professional drainage solution, the following technical details must be considered during scupper installation:
- Outlet Length: During installation, the outlet length should be calculated by adding 150 mm to the parapet thickness. This allowance is critical to prevent water from seeping back behind the facade and to ensure effective discharge away from the structure.
- Material Variety: Depending on user preference and project requirements, Steel Body (SS) or Polyurethane Body (PU) scuppers can be selected.
- Custom Production: Our outlets are specially manufactured to perfectly match the brand and model of the membrane used in your project.
