Combined Resources Provides A Series Of SUDS Solutions

Reacting to the increasing demands of the construction industry, GRIDTECH and NETLON have combined resources and expertise to provide a series of solutions for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).

The use of SUDS techniques reduces the potential of flooding on new and existing developments and, unlike traditional roadside drainage systems, also helps to protect and enhance groundwater quality. The inclusion of these systems within new development programs is being encouraged by the government through new legalisation and guidance policies.

In fact, planning policy now actively discourages development within flood plains unless flood mitigation measures such as SUDS are included in the plan.

By combining their products and expertise GRIDTECH and NETLON are able to provide the construction industry with a choice of potential SUDS solutions.

GRIDTECH is a leader in the provision of soil reinforcement and ground stabilisation products. Its products provide the reinforcement in the aggregate layers used to create SUDS storage reservoirs and load-bearing sub-bases. They also protect SUDS retention ponds, swales and flood bunds from soil erosion.

GRIDTECH as a specialist in the provision of reinforced turf systems, can provide a range of options for porous surfacing as a source control technique for SUDS. The SUDS solutions developed by GRIDTECH and NETLON are now detailed in a new brochure –" Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems- a guide to the products and the applications" .
