Building smart, resilient water systems
Blue, green and grey infrastructure solutions
Integrated water management designed to create sustainable environments
Building Water Resilient Communities
The lack of capacity in Europe’s wastewater network presents a significant challenge to meeting housebuilding aspirations. Increasing volumes of rainwater are leading to large amounts of surface water runoff in living communities, built from traditional non-porous materials. This creates a problem for the outdated sewer infrastructure.
Issues related to climate change, like flooding and water shortages put pressure on water networks.
Our sustainable solutions help prevent flooding and improve water quality to protect people and their living spaces from damage caused by pollution.
We provide systems that manage urban water from rainfall collection on roofs to surface water collection systems, natural landscaping, soils and rootzones, to below ground engineered control and treatment systems.
We put our expertise into providing hydraulic design support, helping build integrated systems. Working together, our green, blue and low carbon, grey infrastructure components help manage water quantity and improve quality to return clean surface water back into the environment, recharging the natural water cycle. A complete and sustainable solution.

Blue, Green and Grey Infrastructure Solutions
A key water management challenge in stormwater run-off lies in balancing the demands of densely developed urban areas with the need for effective water absorption and drainage. Traditional impervious paving surfaces limit the land’s natural ability to absorb rainwater, leading to an increased risk of flooding and contamination of local waterways. Additionally, as cities expand, the existing drainage systems increasingly become overwhelmed during heavy rainfall, which can result in infrastructure strain and water quality degradation.
Green Infrastructure Solutions
Vegetation and natural landscapes, such as rain gardens and green roofs used to absorb, filter, and slow rainwater runoff, promoting biodiversity, groundwater recharge and reducing flooding.
Blue
Infrastructure Solutions
The use of natural and artificial water bodies to store and manage stormwater, improve biodiversity, and to enhance urban resilience.
Grey Infrastructure Solutions
Engineered proprietary systems for the control, attenuation and treatment of stormwater. These systems enhance and protect other natural components of a Sustainable Drainage System.
We have the expertise, knowledge, and technology to engineer solutions to individual challenges.
Using a mixture of natural and proprietary systems, green, blue and grey, can provide a better overall solution with enhanced performance and easier, predictable maintenance.
Tried and tested
Using our science-based approach, we can build solutions to support communities through stormwater and wastewater solutions that drain, filter, retain, infiltrate and transport water, helping protect people, critical infrastructure and the environment from flood risk and pollution. Our capability delivers water solutions across four key areas:
Systems
Our
Permeable Pavements & Surfaces
Our
Swales Pre-Filter
Our
Proprietary Treatment
Filter Strips, Filter Drains, Detention Basins, Ponds & Wetlands
Our permeable aggregates, topsoils & sands facilitate build-up of green SuDS designs. Our aggregates make up pipe bedding and facilitate infiltration and drainage. Our manufactured soils and sands are growing media that also provide infiltration.
Attenuation & Infiltration Systems
Our geocellular storage systems provide underground storage and attenuation of urban runoff. In combination with our permeable aggregates and manufactured sands, they can also provide infiltration systems.
Inlets, Outlets & Flow Control Systems
Our range of self-activating vortex flow controls provide water quantity management for stormwater drainage systems. Sensors enable data driven, smart maintenance of the assets. Our tested aggregates make up pipe bedding and facilitate infiltration & drainage.
