Drainage
At Design ID, we understand that effective drainage design is fundamental to the success and sustainability of any construction project. Our civil engineering team delivers innovative, compliant, and cost-effective drainage solutions tailored to the specific needs of each development.
Intelligent, Sustainable Drainage Solutions
We specialise in the design of surface water and foul water drainage systems for a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Our approach integrates the latest industry standards and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to manage water efficiently, reduce flood risk, and protect the environment.
Our drainage designs are fully coordinated with architectural and structural layouts, ensuring seamless integration with the overall project design. We work closely with clients, local authorities, and water companies to secure approvals and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, including Building Regulations, Sewer Sector Guidance, Sewers for Adoption, and local planning policies.
Our Drainage Design Services Include:
- Surface Water Management – attenuation, infiltration, and discharge strategies
- Foul Water Drainage Design – gravity and pumped systems
- SuDS Design – including swales, rain gardens, permeable paving, detention basins, and green roofs
- Flood Risk Assessments (FRA)
- Hydraulic Modelling and Flow Calculations
- Drainage Strategy Reports for Planning Applications
- Adoption Drawings and Sewer Diversion Applications
- 3D Drainage Modelling and BIM Integration
Adding Value Through Collaboration
Our team brings a proactive and collaborative approach to every project. We engage early in the design process to identify constraints and opportunities, helping to reduce construction risk and optimise long-term performance. Whether it’s a new development or a retrofit scheme, we provide clear, practical advice and robust engineering solutions.
