Acquiring knowledge
The basis for acquiring knowledge is human curiosity: fundamental research by our R&D department on topics such as flow and material characteristics. It's not only the "knowing that" what is of interest but also the "knowing how" so we can share our findings with you, our system user and develop innovative new products.
Our R&D engineers have a flow laboratory at their disposal to create flows in actual pipe systems for both siphonic roof drainage as well as soil & waste. This state of the art equipment enables them to determine effects to the finest detail.
