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.
