In light of the inspection and maintenance difficulties associated with traditional through-slab drainage systems, and in response to the rapid development of new construction methods and equipment, on December 29, 2022, the Construction and Planning Agency of the Ministry of the Interior (now the National Land Management Agency) amended and promulgated Article 29-1 of the Building Equipment subsection under the Building Technical Regulations along with relevant provisions of the Design and Technique Directions for Building Water Supply and Drainage Equipment. These amendments, which came into effect on January 1, 2023, introduced standards for same-floor drainage systems and common trap systems. The regulations primarily apply to drainage systems in bathroom spaces of buildings with subdivided private and public ownership; at this stage, balcony and kitchen spaces are temporarily exempted. The Agency plans to consolidate practical operations and effect implementation within 3 years. The system currently remains in the promotion phase and is not yet mandatory. The design and construction of same-floor drainage systems in buildings requires comprehensive planning prior to construction. Proper arrangements must be made for pipeline layout and equipment selection, including the choice of drainage fixtures, pipe slope design, installation of drainage and venting systems, overall height control of piping, and maintenance and management mechanisms. These measures are essential to ensure system performance and the reliability of subsequent operations. When planning the piping and construction of an entire building or a specific section, regardless of whether the methods adopted involve sunken slabs, double-layer slabs, raised floors, front-of-wall piping, prefabricated bathroom units, or specialized joint drainage systems, the fundamental principles of same-floor drainage remain the same. Drainage pipes, horizontal branches, and sanitary equipment for the water supply and drainage system must be installed on the same floor and cannot penetrate the floor slabs separating individual units. |
