About

Involved in drainage ventilation for high-rise buildings for 16 years, Steve White has contributed his efforts and expertise to thousands of projects all over the world. As a Technical Director DWV HighRise Building Solutions, he works with research institutions and manufacturers developing products, to meet the requirements for high-rise drainage ventilation and to validate these technologies, presenting them to the market through bodies such as the WPC, CIBSE, ASPE and CIB W062. Highlight projects for Steve include the Trump Tower in Panama, where his team managed to save over 40 km of pipework. Another standout project was the O2 Arena in London; although not a high-rise in height, in drainage venting terms it is equivalent to a 60-storey building. The team managed to do this as the world’s first sealed vented system (no roof penetrations), and to date over 8.8 million people have used the bathrooms without any issues. Steve is focused on educating and supporting the high-rise industry, helping to provide safe drainage systems and the innovations that enable high-rise living.
