Delivering exceptional sustainable savings across the estate. Guilty!
Urinals that experience very heavy usage tend to suffer from the same problems experienced at Eversheds’ offices: flooding, urinal odours, regular blockages and high water and energy consumption. Carillion Planned Maintenance who are contractor for Eversheds, had tried a host of products, including enzymes, chemical dosing systems and cubes.
All these products were tried in the attempt to reduce blockages and in some cases overcome urinal odours, but none had worked satisfactorily. Any reduction in urinal flushing showed on many sites an increase in blockages and urinal flooding.
The Brief
The Problem
Urinals that experience very heavy usage tend to suffer from the same problems experienced at Eversheds’ offices: flooding, urinal odours, regular blockages and high water and energy consumption. Carillion Planned Maintenance who are contractor for Eversheds, had tried a host of products, including
enzymes, chemical dosing systems and cubes.
All these products were tried in the attempt to reduce blockages and in some cases overcome urinal odours, but none had worked satisfactorily. Any reduction in urinal flushing showed on many sites an increase in blockages and urinal flooding.
The Solution
Gary Roche, having read an article of a success story in the Government Sector, contacted James McLean, Director of the WhiffAway Group, to trial their Water-Warrior System and to collectively conduct an in depth savings analysis of Eversheds urinal water and energy usage.
WhiffAway’s Water-Warrior system is unique. It’s a completely waterless system that is proven, dual patented, market leading and offers an effective and environmentally sound means of dealing with the problems of odours, blockages and urinal flooding, without the need for unsafe chemicals or constant flushing.
Having conducted trials at One Wood Street in a busy washroom environment and visited WhiffAway Groups’ clients in the Government Sector, Gary was technically convinced by the Water-Warrior System, as was Claire Goody from an environmental perspective.
The Result
The trial area experienced constant usage during working hours all year round.
The following results were recorded:
1
Hygiene
There were no bad odours reported, as previously experienced.
2
Blockages
There have been no blockages reported so far.
3
Eradicating urinal water usage
The urinal water usage was completely eradicated without any detrimental effect to the washrooms urinal hygiene and
cleanliness. The estates water and associated energy savings are exceptional.
The Conclusion
Eversheds are a global market leader in providing Legal Services to leading institutions and organisations around to world. Furthermore, are a benchmark in their sector for implementing environmental best practice.
The installation of the WhiffAway ‘Water-Warrior’ across the estate (132 urinals) has resulted in a significant reduction in urinal maintenance, an elimination of urinal odours and:
