Project Description
Wates Group
Wates Group, Leatherhead
As part of Project Dove, a major refurbishment of the Leatherhead offices took place in May 2016.
Propelair toilets were chosen to replace 27 standard toilets, increasing the buildings energy efficiency and water reduction, helping Wates win the Queen’s Award for Enterprise; Sustainable Development.
By replacing the 27 original toilets with Propelair 1.5 litre flush units, Wates can expect to save over 2.6 million litres of water.
