All of these awards successes are a result of this collaboration - the technical expertise of our people and our commitment to making sustainability central to our operations.
susdrain SuDS Awards - Highly commended
Our Baltic Quarter Blue-Green Corridor project was highly commended in the New Commercial Development category at the susdrain SuDS Awards. This project transformed a disused and formerly contaminated industrial site into a multifunctional high-quality SuDS scheme in an urban environment.
This scheme's exceptional aspect lies in its adaptation to the Baltic Quarter's mining history. Due to contamination risk, surface-level SuDS, comprising detention basins, ponds and swales, manage peak flows while mitigating water infiltration risks. This innovative approach, integrating water treatment and biodiversity measures, showcases SuDS viability even in contaminated former mining areas, setting a precedent for sustainable urban development.
