Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) are an established concept with a firm foundation in basic science, environmental care and legislation.
SUDS have been pioneered as a sustainable response to the well documented problems associated with the creation of large areas of impermeable or semi-permeable surfaces. However, a number of problems and missed opportunities relating to the implementation and maintenance of SUDS have arisen.
SUDS Consult has a Greener Mission to implement efficient solutions for SUDS to ensure long-term sustainability, aesthetic appeal and biodiversity.
