COMPANIES AND PEOPLE NEWS WATER SOLUTION
Flooding problems caused by heavy rainfall at a busy seaside car park have been alleviated thanks to the installation of a SuDS (sustainable drainage system) scheme.
Based on Hydro International’s stormwater storage and infiltration technologies and Hydro-Brake Flow Controls, the SuDS scheme has helped deal with the extra water at Trenwith car park in St Ives, Cornwall. With a hectare of paved
surface, heavy downpours used to cause frequent local flooding. Nigel Higgins, project leader, highways, for Cornwall Council says, ‘We needed a surface water attenuation solution for Trenwith car park that would be effective within the site’s existing footprint, and not disrupt the car park users during construction. Since its installation in 2010, we have had no more complaints about the car park flooding, despite poor weather.’
The SuDS installation along the bottom of the car park slope provides both underground infiltration and storage attenuation as a two-stage process to protect the properties and the watercourse further down the slope.
The primary protective
installation comprises a drainage channel across the slope, interconnecting a series of infiltration pits where Stormbloc is installed. The outflow of the channel is connected to the second line of defence,
an attenuation storage tank, designed to provide surface water storage when the infiltration channel design is exceeded.
Speed humps were also installed to divert the water from the grassed overflow car park areas to run along hedges. Since completion of the scheme, Cornwall Council’s Emergency Management Service received more than six notices of heavy rain for Cornwall, though no reports of flooding in the car park.
