SuDS are physical source and water flow control systems which aim to mimic greenfield run-off conditions on new developments.
The greenfield run-off conditions are dependent upon soil type and topography, as are SuDS solutions.
Our drainage designs aim to utilise the most appropriate and effective SuDS, based upon a sustainibility hierarchy as follows;
- Basins and Ponds; including balancing or retention ponds, detention basins.
- Filter Strips and Swales; for attenuation and improved water quality.
- Infiltration Devices; including soakaways or infiltration trenches.
- Permeable Surfaces; including porous paving, gravelled areas.
- Tanked Systems; including oversized pipework or cellular storage systems
Designs are carried out in accordance with CIRIA good practice guidelines.
