Double Hinged Flap Valves for The American University in Cairo

The development of the prestigious $300 million campus for The American University in Cairo (AUC) required high-quality materials and reliable infrastructure solutions. One of the key challenges was implementing an extensive storm and surface water drainage system to manage wastewater efficiently across the 260-acre site. To address this, contractors turned to Cheshire-based T-T Flow® for the supply of their robust Double Hinged Flap Valves.
Client Requirements
With over 6,000 workers on-site daily and a strict construction timeline leading up to the university’s scheduled occupancy in September 2008, sourcing durable and readily available drainage components was critical. The system demanded valves that would effectively prevent reverse flow in outfall applications while withstanding environmental conditions.
