The building is designed for safety. There are no holes through the floors which are solid slabs and are therefore fire and water proof. Fire can spread from one floor to another through drain holes. A water flood can spread to the floor below through drains. It is therefore much safer to eliminate the drain hole and just mop up the water from the shower. The spread of water can be contained using absorbent in “sausages” round the area.
