Inside the Glasshouse Complex: Cubicles - Details: Floors, Drainage & Water Supply
Each cubicle has a solid,
sealed concrete floor fitted with a drain leading to the quarantine drainage
system. Note: it is important that the drain is situated at the lowest point
in the floor to ensure water runs into it. The image on the right shows
what happens when the drain is placed in the wrong position,
All waste and run-off water is collected
by a quarantine drainage system. Water is stored in two underground tanks
from where it is pumped into a heat treatment tank and treated before being
pumped into above ground storage tanks for disposal.
Each cubicle has its
own water supply ensuring that watering cans do not need to be moved between
cubicles.
