SDS water management systems provide substantial benefits in flood prevention, environment protection and drought mitigation to commercial premises and developments.

Protecting commercial premises and business parks from the impacts of too much or too little rainfall.

SDS storm water attenuation systems ensure that business parks and the properties and facilities located on them are protected from the risk of excessive rainfall events which might otherwise lead to flooding.

SDS treatment devices ensure that surface water runoff from the properties and site in general does not contaminate the local environment, whilst SDS rainwater and grey water harvesting and recycling systems help replace potable water with recycled rainwater where a non-potable supply will suffice. 

Engineered and nature­-based SuDS combine to manage surface water effectively whilst delivering environmental, financial, and social and mental welfare, benefits.

In “hybrid” storm management systems, as represented in the graphic below, SDS-engineered water storage and treatment devices below-ground combine with, enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of, vegetative SuDS materials, such as ponds, swales and ditches, above-ground. 

Allied to SDS Intellistorm® and SYMBiotIC™ smart technologies providing autonomous control, live monitoring and reporting, SDS­engineered devices protect nature-based solutions from the impacts of excessive or insufficient rainfall, whilst also ensuring a consistent supply of water for irrigation and resource provision purposes.

SDS Intellistorm® smart rainwater recycling puts water reuse well within the reach of every project where SuDS are a planning requirement.

SDS Intellistorm® actively empties a rainwater collection vessel in accordance with weather forecast data, providing only sufficient space in the vessel to receive the incoming rainwater and ensuring the maximum amount of water for reuse is continuously available. So, where a new build development needs to consider both flood resilience and water consumption impact, there’s no need for separate rainwater harvesting and attenuation systems. 

The graphic below represents our Intellistorm® system in a small­scale community scheme, in which six properties share access to a recycled rainwater storage tank for non­potable purposes such as watering gardens or washing cars. Planned ideally in advance of the properties’ construction the tank can even be plumbed in to flush the toilets in each house.
