British Standards Institution

Sector: Construction

Overview: Under the direction of B/505, is responsible for the development and maintenance of standards in the engineering aspects of wastewater collection, drainage and treatment, up to the point of disposal. Subjects covered include pipes and fittings, manhole and other access covers, gullies, separators, pipe laying technology, waste outlets and traps, renovation and repair of drains and sewers, drainage systems inside and outside buildings, sewer and drain cleaning operations, positive and negative pressure systems, wastewater treatment plants and, in liaison with B/504
