Hotels and resorts are increasingly turning to vacuum drainage systems as a smarter, more flexible alternative to traditional gravity drainage. Modern hospitality developments often face challenges such as limited installation space, basement construction, refurbishment restrictions and sustainability targets, all areas where vacuum drainage technology can offer major advantages. Unlike conventional drainage systems that rely on […]

Vacuum drainage systems are becoming an increasingly popular choice across a wide range of industries, particularly in large commercial developments where flexibility, sustainability and efficiency are key. Unlike traditional gravity drainage, vacuum drainage uses pressure differences to transport wastewater, allowing for more adaptable pipe layouts, reduced excavation work and lower water usage. From hospitals and

If you’re managing a commercial building, designing a new development, or simply exploring smarter drainage alternatives, you’ve likely come across the term vacuum drainage system. But what exactly is it, how does it work, and why are more UK businesses making the switch in 2026? This complete guide covers everything you need to know, from

When it comes to building services and drainage design, innovative solutions that improve sustainability, flexibility, hygiene, and cost-efficiency are no longer “nice to have” — they’re essential. One such solution increasingly gaining attention across the UK and Europe is vacuum drainage systems — and for good reason. At EVDS (European Vacuum Drainage Systems), we’ve been

Reliable wastewater management systems are essential in both the marine and building industries. Whether installed on ships, offshore structures, ports, or complex commercial buildings, wastewater systems must operate efficiently in confined spaces while meeting strict environmental and safety regulations. This guide explains how modern wastewater management systems are used in marine and building environments, and

When it comes to infection control in hospitals or maintaining food safety in commercial kitchens, drainage systems aren’t usually the first thing people think about. Most attention goes to handwashing, sanitisation, and protective equipment. Yet the way wastewater is managed has a direct impact on hygiene. In 2016/17, there were an estimated 653,000 hospital-acquired infections

Airports and train stations handle thousands — sometimes millions — of passengers every week. For facilities managers, this means huge demand on toilets, food courts, and drainage infrastructure. Traditional gravity-based systems can struggle under the pressure, leading to high water bills, frequent maintenance, and limited design flexibility. Vacuum drainage systems offer a smarter solution. By reducing water
