SuDS Planters
Implementation of SuDS systems are now standard practice for new developments. In certain instances conventional SuDS systems, below ground e.g. tanks, crates and ponds are not feasible due to limited available footprint or high ground water level. In these instances above ground attenuation is an option in conjunction with other SuDS technologies.
SuDS planters offer a neat way to provide storage which can contribute to the attenuation volume requirement.
Our range of SuDS planters generally have the following features:
- 100% inflow from the downpipe
- Debris/detritus screen to prevent blockage
- Top aesthetic planters for mini rain garden/amenity
- The Manhattan Agile SuDS planter and Thames Water Passive SuDS planter incorporates the patented FlowBrake® mini - the worlds first compact low-head, low-flow vortex regulator for attenuation flow control.
- Fully recyclable MDPE construction
- No specialist installation required
- High void ratio for stormwater capture
- Ideal for properties where there is limited space for underground storage or larger SuDS planters
- The whole system is completely PASSIVE with NO electrical/mechanical moving parts
- Minimal maintenance which can be end user led
- Multiple tanks can be linked to increase storage
A number of our Prestige Water standard planters can also be modified into SuDS planters. We can also provide the supporting SuDS calculations for SuDS planters.
Suds planters offer a multitude of advantages, making them a valuable tool for creating more resilient and environmentally friendly spaces:
- Flood Risk Reduction: By capturing and temporarily storing rainwater, suds planters alleviate the strain on sewer systems during heavy rainfall, significantly reducing the risk of localized flooding and the pollution associated with combined sewer overflows.
- Improved Water Quality: As rainwater filters through the soil and plants within the planter, pollutants and sediments are naturally removed, leading to cleaner water runoff.
- Enhanced Biodiversity: The inclusion of vegetation creates habitats and food sources for pollinators and other wildlife, contributing to increased biodiversity in urban areas.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Suds planters add greenery and visual appeal to otherwise hardscaped areas, transforming them into attractive features. They can be customized with various plants, colors, and materials to complement their surroundings.
- Urban Cooling: Plants in suds planters help to mitigate the urban heat island effect by providing shade and releasing moisture through transpiration.
- Educational Opportunities: Suds planters can serve as valuable learning tools, demonstrating the principles of sustainable water management, the water cycle, and the importance of biodiversity.
- Space Efficiency: Ideal for urban settings with limited space, suds planters can be integrated into various locations, including patios, balconies, school grounds, and along buildings.
- Drought Resilience: The stored water within the planter can provide a source of moisture for the plants during drier periods, reducing the need for additional watering.
- Carbon Sequestration: The plants in suds planters absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to carbon sequestration.
