What are SUDS?
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems
Sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) are drainage solutions that provide an alternative to the direct channelling of surface water through networks of pipes and sewers to nearby watercourses.
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) must be adopted as a result of the UK Government Legislation that came into effect in October 2008.
SUDS are surface water and drainage management methods and devices designed to tackle the amount of excess water in a more sustainable and economical way, particularly in built-up areas to prevent flash flooding.
SB Surfacing are a Sudscape main contractor
SB Surfacing are main contractors for 'Sudscape™' who produce an environmentally friendly porous paving solution for footpaths, driveways and car parks for the both residential and commercial markets. Fully SUDS compliant, Sudscape™ use a combination of resins to bond rubber to create a sub base. |

The voids in the sub base retain water until it can drain naturally back into the water table, preventing flash flooding.

SUDSCAPE BOOSTS ECO CREDENTIALS
OF OLYMPIC VILLAGE
A unique SUDS-compliant paving system comprised of recycled car tyres is being used to boost the eco-credentials of landscaping provided at the Olympic Village. The SUDSCAPE system is being used on 460 sq metres of pathways within the residential courtyards of the Athletes’ village Landscape Architects Macfarlane Wilder, who are the appointed Landscape Architects for blocks N10 and N14, chose Sudscape for a number of reasons. The SUDSCAPE System does not require a concrete or tarmac base, a key consideration for roof top landscaping where access for installation equipment is difficult.
Use of the system also eliminates the risk of standing water or flooding - SUDSCAPE has its own built-in rubber sub-base using recycled car tyres, with a top layer comprised of resin and aggregate. As both layers are porous and flexible, water is held within the voids within the sub-base until it is naturally absorbed back into the water table. SUDSCAPE offers a host of other benefits making it ideal for the Olympic project, including a relatively quick installation process, easy maintenance, with no weeding required, and also cost effectiveness, with the system boasting a similar price structure to block paving.
Peter Wilder of Macfarlane Wilder comments: “The Athletes’ Village demands a rigorous approach to surface water management responsibly sourced materials. SUDSCAPE is a system that we have encountered through our work on the BRE Innovation Parks where it has proven its credentials as a low carbon alternative to traditional resin bound systems.” Visit the Sudscape website at www.sudscape.co.uk or call 01827 288533
