J4M8 Distribution Park Case Study
1 Aims and objectives
This case study investigates the use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) used within industrial settings.
In particular it demonstrates the concept of pipeless systems, i.e. where SUDS are used to convey, attenuate and treat runoff without the use of pipes. Pipeless systems are still fairly uncommon within the UK, predominantly due to the perceived footprint of the SUDS. This case study demonstrates how designs can be tailored to suit local conditions satisfying both space restrictions and levels of treatment
2 Learning points
- Treatment train for industrial areas: levels of treatment necessary
- Pipeless systems advantages and restrictions
