Expert Drainage Design for Sustainable Urban Living

We Provide Sustainable Drainage Solutions in Birmingham & Across the UK

We specialise in flood risk assessments, drainage strategies, surface water, and flood modelling throughout Birmingham and the West Midlands. Our expert team is dedicated to delivering tailored solutions that ensure compliance with local regulations and industry standards. By deploying advanced technology and innovative approaches, we provide reliable and effective drainage designs that mitigate risks and promote sustainable development.

Reduce and Manage Flood Risk through Drainage Strategy and Design

As areas become increasingly developed and urbanised, the natural runoff of surface water is restricted. Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are the best and most environmentally friendly way to manage surface water.

For major commercial developments or the construction of 10 or more homes, a comprehensive drainage strategy is required for planning. In many cases, even minor developments should consider drainage at the planning stage. We have the specialist tools and industry expertise to help you achieve the most appropriate sustainable drainage system for your development and meet the necessary planning requirements.

Accreditation's

We offer a range of services to meet your needs.

Whether for small residential sites requiring percolation tests and soakaway design, or larger sites where a management train approach is needed, a transparent SuDS report and comprehensive SuDS design are essential for effective surface water drainage solutions.

Flood Risk Assessment

Our Flood Risk Assessments provide a detailed analysis of potential flood risks associated with your development. We offer thorough evaluations that include pre and post development surface water runoff calculations, contributing area assessments, and exceedance route plans. This ensures that every aspect of flood risk is identified and managed effectively.

Percolation Tests to BRE365 Standards

Accurate percolation tests are critical for designing effective soakaway systems and other infiltration-based SuDS components. Our team conducts percolation tests to BRE365 standards, offering reliable data to inform the design of your drainage solutions.

SuDS Reports and Hydraulic Calculations

We provide detailed SuDS Reports and hydraulic calculations that meet local and national policies. Our comprehensive reports include:

  • Pre and Post Development Surface Water Runoff Calculations
  • BRE365 Soakaway Sizing Calculations
  • Surface Water Attenuation Calculations
  • Discussion of SuDS Hierarchy

These reports ensure that your project adheres to the highest standards of sustainable drainage design.

SuDS Design and Implementation

Our expert design services cover all aspects of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). We offer:

  • Outline SuDS Design Layout Plans
  • Detailed SuDS Design Plans for Construction
  • Management and Maintenance Plans for the Lifetime of the Development

We tailor our designs to include various SuDS components such as soakaways, attenuation devices, permeable paving, swales, wetlands, ponds, rainwater harvesting systems, green roofs, infiltration basins, infiltration trenches, detention basins, and filter drains.

Surface Water Drainage Design

Effective surface water drainage design is crucial for managing runoff and reducing flood risks. Our services include the development of strategic drainage plans that align with sustainable practices. We ensure that your drainage system is both efficient and environmentally responsible.

Planning and Compliance Support

Navigating the complexities of planning and regulatory requirements can be challenging. Our team provides comprehensive support to help you meet local and national standards. We assist with the preparation of documentation, liaise with authorities, and ensure that all aspects of your drainage strategy comply with necessary regulations.

Maintenance and Monitoring

To ensure the long-term success and functionality of your SuDS installations, we offer maintenance and monitoring services. Regular inspections, performance evaluations, and tailored maintenance plans are part of our commitment to sustaining effective drainage systems over time.

 

Is a SuDS Report Adequate for Meeting the Requirements of the Local Planning Office or LLFA?

SuDS reports play a vital role in planning applications, serving both the pre-planning stage and meeting specific conditions required before planning consent is granted.

These reports typically begin with an evaluation of infiltration SuDS, which are the preferred methods for managing surface water runoff. The feasibility of these techniques directly impacts the viability of other SuDS approaches.

The required level of detail in the SuDS report can vary based on the specific requirements of your local council. We offer expert advice to ensure that your SuDS report meets all necessary criteria set by the Local Planning Office or LLFA.
