Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are drainage solutions that slow the flow of water from your site, reducing surface water flooding and can improve water quality and amenity.
Raincloud specialises in providing workable SuDS solutions no matter what the conditions are at site.
We actively engage with local authorities to ensure we have early agreement on the proposed SuDS design and ensure workable solutions to dispose of surface water.
We use industry standard software such as Info Drainage to design SuDS structures such as soakaways, swales ponds, bio retention areas and cellular storage.
We can also organise and supervise infiltration testing to BRE365 Standard to inform the viability of SuDS on your site.
Some Local Authorities in Scotland (such as Glasgow City, Fife and South Lanarkshire) require SuDS design to be reviewed and signed off by an appropriately qualified independent third party. Raincloud can provide third party review of your SuDS design.
