Siphonic roof drainage in Bilecik
Our record in Bilecik is a single project, and it happens to be the largest single roof on the list: a ceramics plant of 40,000 m² in the Osmaneli organised industrial zone. It is the clearest demonstration of what siphonic drainage does at scale.
Bilecik is one of the centres of Turkish ceramics production, and the plants in Osmaneli are long, wide-span halls. On buildings of that shape conventional gravity drainage calls for a large number of vertical downpipes, and those pipes land inside the production floor, tying up column bays and constraining where machinery can go. A siphonic layout cuts the number of downpipes, runs the collector at zero fall under the roof, and gives the floor back.
The calculation is built in Geberit ProPlanner from the roof geometry and the local rainfall intensity, then reported against TS EN 12056-3. Pipework is sized for a full-bore flow velocity of 4 to 6 m/s, the range in which the line scours itself clean. Joints on site are butt-welded to DVS 2207 by our own crew, and that part of the work is never subcontracted.
