Syphonic drainage by Fullflow has won the contract to design, manufacture and install syphonic drainage systems for the 150 million euro mixed use town centre development on an eight-acre site at the heart of Athlone, Ireland. Whereas a conventional outlet is a hole set into the lowest point on the roof into which water pours, the syphonic drain incorporates an anti-vortex plate that restricts the flow of air, allowing only water to be drawn off the roof. During heavy rainfall the outlet drain fills above the anti-vortex plate, cutting off air flow into the pipe and creating a vacuum. The system potentially allows a lower number of roof outlet drains which flow out into a lower number of downpipes.
