Drainage
Many existing urban drainage systems cause problems of flooding, pollution or damage to the environment and are not sustainable. Wilde Consulting Engineers practice Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS) and consider long term environmental and social factors when designing drainage.
Wilde Consulting Engineers aim to:
* Manage runoff flowrates, reducing the impact of urbanisation on flooding
* Protect or enhance water quality
* Be sympathetic to the environmental setting and the needs of the local community
* Provide a habitat for wildlife in urban watercourses
* Where appropriate encourage natural groundwater recharge
SUDS techniques require changes to the traditional approach of upgrading or rehabilitating urban drainage by simply increasing the capacity of the system.
Typical SUDS techniques:
* Source Control - Porous pavements, Soakaways and Infiltration Trenches
* Reduction of Flows - Balancing ponds, French drains and Swales
* Passive Treatment - Reed beds
