At BLÜCHER, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch drainage solutions that enhance the safety, hygiene, and efficiency of community spaces. Two prime examples of our successful partnerships are the Abraham Moss Leisure Centre and the Knaresborough Leisure Centre, both of which have chosen our innovative products to elevate their facilities and better serve their communities.

Abraham Moss Leisure Centre, Manchester

The brand-new leisure centre opened towards the end of 2023, and BLÜCHER stainless steel drainage was chosen as the ideal solution.

Our drainage channels, provided in bespoke lengths to suit the customers’ requirements, were installed to efficiently manage high volumes of water, especially in areas like swimming pools, changing rooms, and showers. The result is a hygienic environment that supports the center’s wide range of activities. By reducing maintenance costs and downtime, our drainage solutions have enabled the Abraham Moss Leisure Centre to operate seamlessly, enhancing the overall user experience and better serving the community.

Knaresborough Leisure Centre

Knaresborough Leisure Centre in North Yorkshire also chose BLÜCHER for their significant transformation project aimed at addressing the needs of their expanding community. Sustainability was a key goal of this renovation, and our products were instrumental in achieving them.

The centre installed some bespoke length channels and our standard shower drains, known for their hygienic design and durability. This system ensures efficient water management, critical for maintaining cleanliness and safety in high-traffic areas such as swimming pools and gyms. Additionally, our stainless-steel drainage solutions are 100% recyclable and have a long lifecycle, aligning perfectly with the centre’s sustainability objectives.

Conclusion

The successful installation of these BLÜCHER products highlight the important role of high-quality and reliable drainage within community infrastructure. Our drainage solutions have proven to be essential in creating efficient and hygienic environment, whilst remaining sustainable and cost-effective.

Visit the ACO Building Drainage website

ACO Building Drainage’s new e-commerce site is aimed at streamlining the selection and specification process for building drainage installations, while also making it easier for specifiers and contractors to select and buy products.

The new platform is unique to ACO Building Drainage for its stainless-steel drainage, grease management solutions and Access Covers in buildings. The digital solution covers six product categories and a broad portfolio of applications to make finding the drainage solution that fits the project a smoother and more cost-effective process. This includes stainless steel gullies, total flow gullies, rainwater outlets, shower drains, grease traps and separators, as well as access covers.

Featuring an innovative specification tool, the web shop helps users identify the solution that best fits their needs by tapping into the expertise of ACO’s drainage engineers. It does this by asking a small number of questions about the project at hand, and then offering a recommendation from ACO’s expert technical team of suitable products that fulfil the project requirements.

Nick Cairns, Marketing Manager at ACO, said:

“We know that for many building product specifiers and contractors, the time it takes them to compare and find the right solution, as well as locate where to buy products, can be extensive. That’s why we’ve invested into our new e-commerce site.

“The selector tool is designed from the ground up to make the process of specifying and selecting drainage products as easy as possible, removing the tedious hassle of comparing multiple products manually. Instead, simply answer a handful of questions and the solution that’s right for you will appear on screen. Once a customer chooses a product, the website makes it straightforward to obtain a merchant’s quote or purchase direct from ACO.”

Products offered by the selector tool cover single items and entire kits, depending on the answers provided. If looking for grease traps and separators, for example, the selector tool will ask whether it is to be situated inside or outside of a kitchen, then the number of meals expected to be served and the appliances used. Based on this information, the selector tool will display the recommended solution for the project.

In all cases, customers will be able to view the product and download the associated data sheets. While customers can buy the product direct from ACO, they are also able to obtain a quote and purchase the product through a merchant.
