Wavin Plastics - Makes a splash for charity
Wavin Plastics, a leading provider of water
management solutions in the UK, made a real splash at
the annual Thames Water Raft Race with a raft made
entirely from drainage piping.
A range of pipes, manufactured for the company’s Osma
UltraRib foul and surface water (adoptable and
non-adoptable) gravity sewer system, were fitted
together and used to carry daring volunteers down stream
at the event.
Wavin pledged continued support to the event after
getting involved with it in 2006 when the company’s
AquaCell water management infiltration units were bound
together and coated with geomembrane to provide
participants with a purpose-built raft.
Spokesperson for Wavin Plastics, Denise O’Leary, said:
“We are delighted to support this fun event for such a
worthy cause. Wavin is committed to helping build
sustainable water supplies and sanitation systems in
poverty-stricken countries through various projects
including WaterAid and also through its long-standing
partnership with Unicef.”
The Thames Water Raft Race is co-ordinated and staged by
WaterAid, a registered national charity which works to
improve the lives of people in deprived countries whose
lives are blighted by poor sanitation and dirty water.
WaterAid also works to lobby governments to change their
water and sanitation policies to help vulnerable
communities.
More than £8,000 has already been raised from this
year’s event with additional money still to be
collected. Teams, mostly in fancy dress, raced a
distance of 1.6km.
