This is “pond 3” of an storm-water management system for a multiple-house-builder development in Warwickshire. Sirius Remediation engaged our services to develop this 11,158 sq m three-acre swale.
It has a vegetated live ditch running through the middle of attenuation liner, designed to slow and filter storm-water. This allows the water to infiltrate the ground gradually while removing pollutants and sediment.
Gordon Low Products supplied us with the EPDM geomembrane, and extra-wide 5.25m geotextile rolls for this project; delivery by curtain-sided articulated lorries.
Working alongside the Sirius team, we installed a geotextile underlay, Elevate (Firestone) EPDM GeoGard geomembrane, topped with another geotextile overlay. This repairable sandwich means this swale will remain watertight for up to 60 years.
If Carlsberg did ground-works, we think they’d struggle to beat Sirius on this project – beautifully smooth, making our job so much easier. Thanks guys.
