Sustainable Water Management Solutions

Innovative drainage and water-reuse systems for modern infrastructure

The Challenge: Urban Water Pressures

Flooding Risk

Climate change intensifies rainfall events, overwhelming traditional drainage infrastructure and threatening urban developments across the UK.

Water Scarcity

Growing demand and supply constraints require innovative approaches to reduce mains water consumption and improve resource efficiency.

Modern construction demands integrated solutions that address both excess water and conservation simultaneously.

SuDS Planters: Nature-Based Drainage

SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) Planters represent a sophisticated approach to managing rainwater runoff through engineered green infrastructure. These manufactured solutions capture stormwater from roofs and paved surfaces, slow its release, and naturally filter pollutants through carefully designed soil layers and vegetation.

Water Quality

Removes pollutants and sediments before discharge

Biodiversity

Creates urban habitat for plants and wildlife

Flood Prevention

Attenuates peak flows during storm events

How SuDS Planters Work

Capture

Rainwater from roofs and hard surfaces enters the planter through designed inlets

Filtration

Water percolates through engineered soil media that removes contaminants

Treatment

Vegetation and microorganisms break down pollutants naturally

Controlled Release

Clean water discharges at regulated rates to prevent downstream flooding

Vortex Flow Control: Intelligent Hydraulics

Vortex flow control devices regulate stormwater discharge rates through hydrodynamic principles rather than mechanical components. By creating a controlled vortex within the chamber, these systems limit outflow during peak events—protecting downstream infrastructure without maintenance-intensive moving parts.

This passive technology optimizes storage capacity, prevents system overload, and provides reliable performance across decades of operation.

Grey Water Recycling: Resource Conservation

Grey water recycling captures lightly contaminated water from baths, showers, and washbasins treating it for non-potable reuse in toilet flushing, landscape irrigation, and cleaning applications. This closed-loop approach dramatically reduces mains water demand while cutting utility costs.

Water Savings

Average reduction in mains

consumption for residential buildings

Cost Reduction
