HG100 keeps the beer flowing from Surrey Hills
The Surrey Hills Brewery is an independent brewer with a highly acclaimed and award-winning portfolio of beer and real ale. One of the UK’s micro-brewing success stories, the company recently increased its production and relocated to the prestigious Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking; the UK's largest single estate vineyard.
Over 20 metres of Howe Green’s HG100 Channel Drain was installed when existing estate buildings were refurbished and a new extension built at Denbies to accommodate their new housemates. Biwater, the international water and wastewater specialist, managed the project and was responsible for overseeing essential drainage works. They specified the Howe Green HG100 Channel Drain in a custom-designed fermentation area to collect water from the many cleaning operations that happen throughout the production process.
“All brewing processes involve water in some way,” explains Ross Hunter, Surrey Hills Director “Most of the work is cleaning the equipment between each brew, which produces waste water. Reliable drainage was an essential requirement for our new premises and the Howe Green product is doing a good job and performing very well for us”.
Made from stainless steel with a heavy duty anti slip ladder grating, the channel drain was installed at the new Surrey Hills plant with a 9mm sloping polyurethane screed floor with non-slip chips added for additional safety. The HG100 is suitable for a wide range of applications including changing rooms, shower areas, spas, kitchens, laboratories, veterinary surgeries and other areas that demand durable and effective drainage.
A modular system, the HG100 range is available in 304 grade or 316-grade stainless steel with both sloping and level channels. With a selection of 90º bends, T-junctions, stop ends and outlets, plus a selection of application-specific gratings, it represents the complete linear drain channel solution. It is suitable for all types of floor finishes, including ceramic tiles, resin and PVC, and with a load bearing up to 3 tones.
