Drainage

Nearly all developments, whether that be a single house or multiple house site will require drainage designed as a sustainable system ensuring flooding does not occur.

It is an essential part of the planning process.

At ADS, we use advanced civil engineering design software technology to accurately determine the optimum drainage design and storage requirements that meet the sustainable drainage requirements.

The drainage system will incorporate the very latest environmental requirements.

If the site is particularly difficult, it will even need a degree of remodelling where the levels are concerned. This is a heavy process and will usually require the removal and moving of both ground and materials.

This also provides the most cost-effective solution for our clients.

We would love to discuss your plans and show you how we can create your perfect project outcome with minimal disturbance and wastage.

Case Studies

Ground Gas assessment, Chester Lane, Lancashire

Client: Backhouse Properties Ltd.

The site was located over historically backfilled quarries and adjacent quarries had been used for landfilling. ADS Consult undertook a detailed review of a significant number of historical technical reports to assess potential gas risk from onsite and offsite sources.

Gas monitoring data was compromised by high groundwater levels, additional monitoring was not a practical approach to determining future gas generation risk.

ADS completed a detailed assessment of gas sources, potential pathways and appropriate protection to future houses that satisfied the Local Authority that the site was safe to develop as proposed. The relevant conditions to the Planning Permission were discharged
