Project Requirement

Plumbing regulations call for the water trap seal on sanitary fixtures to always be maintained. This is typically accomplished by introducing atmospheric air into the plumbing drainage system via a separate smaller vent pipe going through the roof. But there are limitations to venting with pipes in the conventional way which was a concern for the builder and the consultant for the 31-storey project.

The Builder was concerned about the loss of the Water Seal which leads to bad odour, unpleasant noise, and repeat maintenance. The sheer height of a building changes the physical forces applied to plumbing systems, rendering conventional designs unsuitable for high-rise projects. The developer and consultant were looking for a solution that can help replace the conventional system, a cost-effective and smart plumbing solution.

Project Description

Nestled amongst reputed EON & Magarpatta IT Parks, world-class Amanora & Seasons malls, Kumar Prospera is a luxury apartment project. This residential luxury property boasts of five towers that are 19 and 22 storey high. There are a total of 416 flats offering 2 and 3 BHK flats in Magarpatta, Hadapsar.

Kumar Prospera used modern technology construction for Superstructure called Alu-Form system wherein walls and slabs for a typical floor gets cast at one time (monolithic construction). The use of aluminum formwork gives better dimensional tolerance eliminating chances of warpage/bulging. This technology allows external walls to have better weather-resistant properties and any issues related to external paint damage and water leakages are practically eliminated. Alu-Form construction also speeds up construction at the site without compromising on the quality.

Consultant Team

Project Requirement

With the new construction technology, the Kumar builder was looking for the drainage piping material that could be prefabricated at the site and the solution should take less time for joints without the help of any machines or tools.

The builder was conscious of saving shaft space which could be translated into a more saleable area. Project & labor costs along with timely completion were also key concerns for the builder.
