As Civil and Infrastructure Engineers, we play a key role in designing solutions that enhance the environment and replicate natural drainage where possible. There is growing recognition of the need for a more sustainable approach to surface water management. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) provide an opportunity to add value, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Designed to manage stormwater locally, SuDS mimic natural drainage by promoting infiltration, attenuation, and passive treatment. Our drainage strategies integrate landscape and biodiversity to create sustainable, nature-based solutions.
