Why Surface & Land Drainage Matters for Commercial Sites 

Effective surface water drainage systems are crucial for preventing slips, foundation damage, and property flooding. Without it, water pooling can lead to costly repairs and potential hazards. 

 

Commercial Surface Water Management Services 

We provide a comprehensive range of commercial surface water management services tailored to address the specific challenges of your site. Our solutions include: 

  • Soakaways: These are designed to efficiently manage and disperse surface water runoff directly into the ground. A soakaway is an effective way to prevent waterlogging and comply with SuDS requirements by mimicking natural drainage processes. 
  • French Drains: Ideal for redirecting water away from building foundations, retaining walls, and other critical areas. A French drain is a trench filled with gravel containing a perforated pipe that diverts groundwater and surface water, protecting your infrastructure. 
  • Drainage Channels: These are linear drainage systems installed to capture and convey surface water, effectively preventing accumulation on large paved areas like car parks and loading bays. They offer a highly efficient method for managing heavy rainfall and runoff. 

Each service is meticulously planned and customised to your site’s unique topography, soil composition, and operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance and full compliance with all relevant industry standards and environmental regulations. 

Land Drainage Solutions for Large Properties 

Our technical expertise covers a comprehensive range of drainage methods, each designed to address specific challenges posed by excess surface water. These include: 

  • Soakaways: Custom-designed pits filled with rubble and coarse stone, allowing surface water to percolate back into the ground. This is an effective way to manage runoff locally and reduce the burden on main drainage systems, particularly in areas with suitable ground permeability. 
  • French Drains: Trenches filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe. These drains redirect surface and groundwater away from specific areas, preventing waterlogging and soil saturation around building foundations and landscaped areas. 
  • Drainage Channels: Surface-level channels, often covered with grates, that capture and rapidly convey water from large paved areas to a suitable disposal point like a soakaway or main sewer. They are essential for managing heavy rainfall on car parks, access roads, and pedestrian zones. 

These solutions are carefully selected and implemented to enhance water absorption and manage runoff efficiently. They prevent surface water issues across large commercial properties, ensuring the longevity and safety of your infrastructure.

  • Safety: Reduce slip hazards and protect employees and visitors. 
  • Compliance: Adhere to UK regulations and SuDS guidelines.
