Welcome the new year with news from ADS

Happy New Year from all at ADS. 2026 promises to be a busy year for SuDS across the UK. Here’s some of the anticipated highlights.

Arcadia is creating a splash

Our new Arcadia Hydrodynamic Separator is certainly making waves. With proven removal efficiencies at higher flow rates in smaller footprints than the competition, its compact design means it’s low maintenance and easy to install. And, with no elevation loss between the inlet and outlet, and variable angle configurations, it can often be integrated into both new and existing stormwater systems, without the need for extensive modification.

More storage, less stone, smaller footprint, lower cover depth

New to the ADS StormTech range, the SC-800 chamber holds more water than its predecessor and requires less embedment stone for installation. The corrugated design reduces the minimum cover depth to 381mm under HGV traffic and delivers a 7% smaller footprint for the same storage volume. Our modified SC-310 chamber has reduced row spacing to 75mm and reduced minimum cover depth to 406mm, meaning less embedment stone and greater design flexibility - saving time and money.

Design and Planning made easy

The ADS StormTech Cumulative Storage Volumes Spreadsheet helps make the hydraulic design and planning / LLFA approval of attenuation systems simple and easy. Combine this with our unique Design Tool which generates site-specific layouts that can be integrated with CAD and other submittal documents. Not only is Design Tool free - with a built-in schedule of materials, you can prepare estimates in minutes.

AdvanEdge gives you the advantage

Ideal for sports fields, golf greens, foundations, highways and retaining walls, the AdvanEdge panel pipe provides quick, effective subsurface drainage. 300mm AdvanEdge has a higher crushing strength and typically twice the soil contact area of a 100mm round pipe and will drain a given quantity of water over 30% faster – even at lower head pressure. But that’s not all, AdvanEdge’s super slim design allows for easily cut narrow trench installation, saving time and money.
