Greater storage, Smaller footprint, Less stone, More options

Other below-ground SuDS attenuation systems such as crates and pipes, do not provide any treatment to the incoming flow. StormTech directs first flush runoff into the patented Isolator Row – an integral water quality treatment device. ADS StormTech with Isolator Row is the first combined SuDS attenuation and water quality management system to have 3rd party verified Mitigation Indices (MIs). StormTech’s MIs provide TSS=0.8; Metals=0.6: Hydrocarbons=0.7 making it suitable for applications with medium pollution hazard indices without the need for additional costly SuDS treatment components.

Many policy documents from SuDS adopting bodies mandate ‘green’ SuDS. However, a recent article in Drain Trader highlighted the need to balance ‘green’ with ‘grey’ SuDS components for solutions that are more technically, environmentally and economically viable over the lifetime of the development. ADS StormTech can be a key part of this approach.

Geocellular crates are generally regarded as difficult to clean effectively and prone to silting. The CIRIA SuDS Manual C753 suggests that such systems may require an additional 10% in storage volume to offset this loss – something that is often overlooked. Of particular interest to adopting bodies, ADS StormTech is easy to inspect and maintain. Only Isolator Row requires cleaning, typically every 2 – 5 years, using standard sewer cleaning equipment
