Stormwater and attenuation products are a category of construction and waterproofing materials designed to manage and control stormwater runoff, reduce the risk of flooding, and promote sustainable drainage solutions. These products help to attenuate the flow of stormwater, improve water quality, and protect the environment.
Urban Drainage Geomembranes
Urban drainage geomembranes are specialised membranes designed to control the flow of stormwater in urban environments. They are typically made from synthetic materials such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber and are installed underground to form storage or attenuation systems.
Characteristics of Stormwater and Attenutation Membranes
Water Storage and Attenuation: Stormwater and attenuation products provide storage and attenuation of stormwater runoff, allowing for controlled release into the drainage system or natural environment, helping reduce the risk of flooding and erosion.
Water Quality Improvement: These products can improve water quality by capturing sediment, pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff before it enters the drainage system or water bodies. This helps to protect aquatic ecosystems and promote environmental sustainability.
Durability and Resistance: Stormwater and attenuation products are durable and resistant to environmental factors such as UV exposure, chemical degradation, and mechanical damage. This ensures long-term performance and reliability in demanding applications.
Flexibility and Adaptability: These products are adaptable to different site conditions and project requirements. They can be customised to accommodate varying water storage capacities, drainage configurations, and landscape features.
Applications for Stormwater and Attenutation Membranes
Urban Drainage Systems: Stormwater and attenuation products are used in urban drainage systems to manage stormwater runoff from paved surfaces, rooftops, and other impermeable areas. They help to reduce the impact of urbanisation on natural drainage patterns and prevent flooding.
Green Infrastructure Projects: These products are integral to green infrastructure projects such as rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable pavements, where they help to capture, store, and infiltrate stormwater runoff to recharge groundwater and support vegetation.
Land Development and Construction Sites: Stormwater and attenuation products are used on land development and construction sites to comply with regulations for managing stormwater runoff. They help developers and builders meet sustainability goals and minimise environmental impacts.
