More efficient selection of drain covers can be achieved with a new tool from Saint-Gobain PAM UK

The PAMSearch Digital Product Selector is an online search tool designed to make product selection easier and improve the accuracy and speed of specification decisions. Its interface uses parameters such as the required application and height, width and depth figures to recommend the correct product from the range of access covers and gratings.

Saint-Gobain PAM UK is also expanding its BIM offering which was first launched last year to include every product in the building drainage range.

The new library includes key ranges such as the Inter-Ax, Opt-Emax and Ult-Emax access covers along with gratings such as Aqua-Max and Watershed. This is said to help promote the usage of BIM and project management software for infrastructure projects. In addition, the new library mirrors the existing building drainage library and will be available from Saint-Gobain PAM UK for free.
