Ongoing land development and climate change place increasing burdens on existing surface water drainage networks, resulting in the need to make dramatic changes in our approach to the safe management of surface water. The use of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) is one of the most effective ways to reduce pollution and flooding risk as confirmed through Government legislation and planning guidance such as PPG25 'Development and flood risk'. Dependant on your specific requirements, the EH Smith civils team are able to offer advice and support on the most suitable solution from a range of options now available.
