The invention relates to a method for determining a topology of a defined, bounded surface (1) for dewatering said surface by means of at least one specified dewatering point (21), so that the surface (1) comprises a monotonically increasing slope starting from the dewatering point (21) to a collision point (16), said method avoiding the disadvantages of eth prior art and determining in a more efficient, simple, and less error-prone manner a topology of a defined, bounded area (1) for dewatering the same by means of at least one specified dewatering point (21), so that the surface (1) comprises a monotonically increasing slope, starting from the dewatering point (21) to a collision point (16), and proposes that the topology is determined such that the surface (1) is subdivided into individual surface elements (2) each having at least one plane (3), wherein a slope in a first direction and/or a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is successively determined in every plane (3) for each area element (2), starting from the dewatering point (21).

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain inlet and a ramp coupled to the drain inlet comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of a roof deck.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain inlet and a ramp coupled to the drain inlet comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of a roof deck.

Systems and methods of constructing a single-story building utilizing a plurality of prefabricated insulated panels, each of the plurality of prefabricated insulated panels comprising a first cementitious layer, a second cementitious layer, and an insulative core, wherein the insulative core is disposed between the first and second cementitious layers. The systems and methods comprise constructing a building foundation and constructing the single-story building on said foundation, the building comprising an exterior wall supported by at least said building foundation using a first plurality of the prefabricated insulated panels, the first plurality of panels forming the exterior wall disposed on an outer perimeter of the building and a roof supported by at least said exterior wall using a second plurality of the prefabricated insulated panels, the second plurality of panels forming the roof enclosing a top of the single-story building.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain inlet and a ramp coupled to the drain inlet comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of a roof deck.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain inlet and a ramp coupled to the drain inlet comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of a roof deck.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain bowl, a ramp connected to the drain bowl comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, and an attachment flange connected to the ramp and configured to couple the sump drain apparatus to a roof deck, wherein the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of the roof deck and contain sump insulation beneath the ramp and above the roof deck.

A functional roof construction arrangement for a roof frame of a building, includes a plurality of functional roof modules being assembled together. Each of the functional roof modules includes a module housing and a roof functional unit which includes three different roof functional panel units selectively supported by the module housing at different levels thereof to provide different functions for the building. The roof functional panel units are selectively configured for selectively providing multiple functions of solar energy collection, thermal insulation, sound insulation, wireless network system, and the like.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain bowl, a ramp connected to the drain bowl comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, and an attachment flange connected to the ramp and configured to couple the sump drain apparatus to a roof deck, wherein the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of the roof deck and contain sump insulation beneath the ramp and above the roof deck.

Environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks and structures constructed primarily of recycled materials are disclosed. The environmentally friendly construction blocks and structures comprise shredded rubber tire pieces coated with silica fume, slag cement and cement, which are then mixed with water and formed in a mold. A layer of grout or a fireproof material may be disposed on one side of the environmentally responsible insulating construction block. The environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks can be used in place of wood blocking for roof assembly applications such as installation of a drip edge or wall coping; or in expansion joints. The environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks provide high insulation as well as strength for applications such as green roofing, wall construction and green roofing decks. Environmentally friendly structures can be built by pouring the coated shredded rubber tire pieces into molds to form walls, and then to pour a layer of the coated shredded rubber tire pieces as a roof deck, thereby creating a self-supporting structure in a monolithic pour.
