For almost any new development, managing surface water runoff in an effective and environmentally-friendly manner can be a challenge.
With extensive experience in implementing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) across a wide range of projects, our team provide innovative solutions that not only efficiently manage water runoff but also contribute to a healthier, more resilient environment.
We are commercially considered and take a holistic approach to design, with a proven track record of successful SAB (Sustainable Drainage Approval Body) approvals with all authorities across Wales. With the same Schedule 3 legislation of the Flood & Water Management Act due to be implemented in England in 2024, we are well placed to assist with your project.
Our SUDs design process uses current best practices which align with the requirements of SAB Authorities, the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and Building Regulations in order to deliver a more sustainable approach to surface water disposal.
Our approach to SuDS is based around four key pillars:
1) Water Quantity: Helping to control the volume of water runoff in order to avoid flood risk
2) Water Quality: Helping to manage the quality of water runoff in order to avoid pollution and damage to the local environment
3) Environmentally-friendly: Engineering sustainable solutions that preserve the natural environment and encourage biodiversity
4) Minimising Costs: Designing SuDS techniques to minimise the cost of the surface water system.
Through our SuDS service, we not only manage surface water run-off, but also look towards water treatment, with biodiversity and amenity benefits, whilst also reducing flood risk and supporting long term resilience to climate change.
Our team of experienced engineers combines technical expertise with a commitment to sustainability, ensuring that your development meets both regulatory requirements and environmental goals. We can help with design and implementation of:
As each project is unique, our team will design a bespoke solution to integrate SuDS into your development, ensuring optimal functionality while adhering to the highest standards of sustainability.
Developers, Local Authorities, House Builders, Estate Managers – If you have a site that you want to develop, involving us at an early stage will help you identify potential surface water drainage issues, minimise many of the environmental related costs and keep commuted sums to a minimum through careful planning and sustainable drainage systems.
Contractors – If you have decided to tender for a development of any kind, we can help you win it. We will work with you to find potential cost efficiencies, enabling you to submit a more competitive bid.
The sooner you speak to us, the sooner we can identify the best way to manage surface water within your project through sustainable solutions which will minimise environmental risks, enhance water quality, and reduce your long-term costs.
We also offer SAB / SUDs CPD presentations. Please get in touch if this would benefit your business and we would be happy to tailor a training session to best suit your needs.
We are Consulting Civil and Structural Engineers who provide comprehensive services to the construction industry. We deliver the right civil and structural solution for all our projects, are commercially astute and aim to always exceed our client expectations.
