I started working in the HKLS industry in 1997 and have been discussing correct drainage with customers on a daily basis since 2008, so I would like to share my experiences with you at this point. At the same time, as a long-standing member of the Austrian Standards Committee, I keep myself informed about future challenges in building drainage.
