4 key drainage considerations for any housebuilder and developer

The build quality of any housing development is always the most important aspect of the project. Having a poor infrastructure can lead to untold issues with the future performance of the house. As such, ensuring that all elements are intricately planned is of the utmost importance.

ACO Water Management’s Oliver Collins explains why implementing an effective surface water management system is integral to delivering long lasting value for any new residential development

Commercial Areas

Industry in urban areas offers valuable skilled employment for the community but can have certain requirements in relation to surface water management.  From the requirement for a monolithic channel to system to an F 900 discreet slot system, ACO have a range of products to suit the majority of infrastructure projects. 

With a large increase in residential and community development careful consideration must be given to the planning of surface water management.  Specific attention must be given to the load class requirements for each area.  ACO offer a wide range of solutions from foot traffic to delivery vehicles and public transport.

As there are a lot of options available, housebuilders can, and should, capitalise on the growing opportunity drainage presents to the final appearance of the design.

Here, ACO Water Management’s Oliver Collins, explains everything housebuilders and developers need to know about drainage systems.
