When detailing a membraned area, the selection of the outlet is of prime importance. 

Selecting the correct floor waste system can save time and materials by simplifying the passive fire protection of each penetration in your projects.

Meeting the requirements of chapter 7.3.2.1 of E2/AS1 in regard to level threshold is getting easier with the rise of perimeter drains as an off the shelf answer to this detail. The new solution we look for is how you deal with steps in the building line, and how, as an architect, you can detail and select a system that will meet the aesthetic and accessibility requirements of this situation.

A commercial kitchen, or food production facility's success or failure will often hinge on the layout.

When looking across a paved area toward a drain it seems like a simple equation that surface water will be directed across this plane, through the channel and then be moved away to the stormwater. In fact, if this is a podium area or suspended slab with a habitable or dry space below, there is a lot more to consider.
