"Condominium corporations and property managers should plan on updating outdated stormwater systems as these features reduce the risk of sudden failures and provide building staff with time to act before an event escalates." #stormwatermanagement #stormwater #flood #flooding #rainfall #extremeweather #climateaction #resilience - Christopher Rochfort, Eric Love 

Changes are coming. The long-awaited 2026 National SuDS Standards are set to reshape how surface water is managed across the UK. These updated standards, introduced alongside Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, will place greater responsibility on developers to design drainage systems that manage runoff sustainably and protect local infrastructure. SuDS Designs by JMS Engineers help you prepare for these new requirements with compliant designs, clear documentation, and early planning advice. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/egEaAHNF #suds #sudsdesign #sudsdesigns #sustainability #drainagedesign #sustainabledesign #civilengineer #civilengineering #civilengineers #eastanglia #suffolk #norfolk #essex #london #manchester #construction

🌧️ Access roads need more than strength - they need smart drainage. While both non-permeable and permeable paving can handle the loading requirements of access roads, the real differentiator is how they manage surface water.  With SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) becoming increasingly important - and potentially mandatory with Schedule 3 of the Flood Water Management Act - specifiers and local authorities are looking closely at long-term drainage strategies. Our latest blog explores: ✔️ How permeable and non-permeable paving compare for access roads ✔️ Why permeable paving often makes SuDS easier to achieve ✔️ The impact of local authority guidance and future legislation If you’re working on a project that needs a permeable solution, our complimentary Permeable Paving Design Service can help you save time and money on-site. #SuDS #PermeablePaving #HardLandscaping #CivilEngineering #SustainableLandscaping

Flooding is a persistent issue across many communities after decades of expanding pavement over natural landscapes. But modern stormwater management is increasingly finding solutions in systems that have been around all along. Green stormwater infrastructure is a growing approach that integrates the natural abilities found in soil, streams, and native plants into urban environments to do what they do best: manage stormwater. Take a closer look at how traditional gray infrastructure is being enhanced with green features to improve flood mitigation, water quality, and property values for communities. https://lnkd.in/gpjpmase

Building rural? Don't overlook your septic tank placement. It's easy to focus on house design, but where you put your wastewater system can make or break your build. In our latest blog, Ken shares some fascinating insights from a real site visit. Here are a few of our favourites: ✅ A gentle slope (around 7 degrees) can be your best - helping gravity do the work and cutting down on pumps and energy costs. ✅ Seperating stormwater from wastewater isn't just good practice, it's essential to protect your soil and waterways. ✅ Soil testing in non-negotiable. Even if the land looks perfect, only a test tells you what disposal method will last the distance. ✅ The right location sets you up for decades of reliability and peace of mind. The main takeaway? Get it right early and you'll save money, reduce risk and keep your land healthy. Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/gbfPa_PE

🌧️ That “ditch” beside the road isn’t poor design. It’s smart engineering. It’s called a grassed swale — a shallow, vegetated channel built to store, filter, and slow stormwater runoff before it reaches the next stage of the system. Instead of sending rain straight into pipes, a swale lets it pond, infiltrate, and self-treat, thereby reducing peak flow, trapping sediments, and recharging groundwater naturally. Once its temporary storage is full, excess runoff is safely conveyed through culverts or storm pipes, typically ranging from 12" to 24 in diameter depending on flow and slope, toward a retention pond or outfall downstream. A typical 300-ft swale, 6 ft wide and 1 ft deep, can hold over 1,000 ft³ (about 7,500 gal) of runoff, which is enough to capture the first inch of rainfall from an acre of pavement. That means: 1️⃣ Less flooding and erosion 2️⃣Cleaner discharge 3️⃣Lower infrastructure cost 4️⃣Smarter stormwater management Modern drainage isn’t just about moving water away fast. It’s about managing it intelligently. And a well-graded swale does exactly that!

Standing water doesn’t stand a chance. Here’s what an effective roof drainage system should look like — and why it matters for your budget and your building. #LetsRoof #RoofingSimplified #FacilityManagers
