Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS)

Home > Drainage Design > Overview > Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS)

The Environment Agency is actively encouraging the use of SUDS techniques to reduce site run-off. We advise on appropriate methods and technologies and design or audit the selected requirements.

Soakaways

  • Assessment of percolation tests
  • Design of individual or combined systems

Discharge to Watercourses

  • Liaison with the Environment Agency
  • Discharge Consent Applications
  • Design of attenuation tanks/balancing ponds or tank sewers
  • using Microdrainage
  • Outfall design

Discharge to Existing Sewerage Systems

  • Liaison with the sewerage operator
  • Design of the attenuation tanks / balancing ponds or tank
  • sewers using Microdrainiage
  • Connection design

We can also design other aspects of SUDS such as porous surfacing, rainwater recycling, swales, wetlands and reed beds.

The adoption of the proposed solutions is a matter for consideration at the design stage. We can liaise with the Local Authorities and the sewerage operator to agree the best solution.
