As part of its ISO 14001
environmental improvement drive,
pressure relief specialist Elfab has
installed a rainwater collection
system to provide water across its
manufacturing and office facilities.

The system saves the company
hundreds of pounds a month.

It has been designed to be
expandable, as it is intended to
provide up to 75% of the company’s
water needs. A UV filtering system
allows collected water to be used in
all parts of the business, except for
human consumption.

The system collects rainwater from
the roof and diverts it into two
10,000L storage drums. Elfab carried
out all preparatory and internal pipe
work to reduce the installation cost.
