principle should also be adopted where offsets occur in stacks of one or
more storey height.

Stack pipe support brackets are to be provided at the base of each stack.

Prior to installation the designer of the below ground drainage system must

Pipework routes and drops are indicative and final positions are to be
agreed on site subject to floor void heights, joist spans and confirmation
routes being conformed by the Architect
