Big networks.
Strict procurement.
Documented system.

Ministries, courts, government institutions, and barracks — buildings with thousands of drains and strict public procurement procedures. The specification must include the standard, certificate, service life, and SDS. Green Drain™ covers all elements required for tender submission.

Problem & solution

The particular challenge in public buildings.

The ministerial complex has hundreds of P-traps. A barracks is effectively a closed compound of its own. The maintenance team is stretched, the odours start, and procurement takes six months.

Without Green Drain™

  • Auto-flush systems never wet the floor drains, so those traps dry out
  • Holidays and the summer break — traps dry for weeks
  • An odour complaint arrives as a formal record — it cannot be ignored.
  • Standard public procurement requires documentation: standard, certificate, lifespan, SDS
  • The procurement process takes 4–6 months — the specification must be precise from day one.

With Green Drain™

  • ASSE 1072-2020 report — covers 'trap seal' specification in public procurement
  • EN 1253 compatibility — the European standard for floor gullies
  • EU MDR Class I — if the facility is used for healthcare (clinics in military barracks)
  • Documented expected service life of about 5 years — covers a multi-year procurement project
  • SDS and Declaration of Conformity ready — no waiting for the manufacturer
Croatian public procurement

A system run strictly by process.

All procurement is conducted through the Electronic Public Procurement Bulletin Board (EOJN). The Public Procurement Act requires technical specifications to be clearly defined and prohibits references to a specific manufacturer or product, save in exceptional cases and then only with the words “or equivalent”. This makes it easier for solutions backed by recognised international standards to compete.

Model Recommendation

Specifying it for public tender through EOJN.

The Croatian public administration includes ministries, courts, barracks, state institutions, and local self-government. Each type of facility has a different profile — ministries are typically BC profile, barracks have dormitories + kitchen blocks + garages, and courts are offices with constant traffic. The specification is submitted through the Electronic Public Procurement Bulletin (EOJN).
