The key benefits of Aggregate Industries’ SUDS products

Aggregate Industries’ Sustainable drainage product range and source control approach affords the following benefits:

From a design perspective, Aggregate Industries’ SUDS products offer several general advantages including:

  • the ability to adopt ‘source control’, a cornerstone of sustainable drainage ethos
  • localised management of potential contaminated run-off including robust two-stage treatment; eliminating the requirement for deep end of line silt/oil separators 
  • minimum of two phases of effluent control at source, preventing emulsification of oils and eliminating the concentration of effluent at the end of the system
  • discrete shallow storage tanks avoid deep excavation
  • H&S/CDM benefits associated with shallow non man-entry drainage (especially if contaminated ground)

The positive impact Aggregate Industries’ SUDS products and design approach from a construction perspective includes:

  • reduction in excavation volumes and depths (especially if contaminated)
  • reduction in shoring requirements
  • reduction in construction time
  • H&S/CDM benefits associated with predominantly shallow non man-entry excavations
  • elimination of a deep end-of line petrol/oil separator
