SuDS can be used to enhance the overall appearance and character of the site whilst being more cost effective than conventional piped drainage. McCloy Consulting are industry leaders in the design and hydraulic analysis of  SuDS.

We approach SuDS from an urban design perspective and consider the opportunity for every space across the site to serve a drainage function to deliver a highly cost effective drainage scheme.

We are involved in retro-fitting and urban renewal schemes where we apply our innovative methods for collecting and controlling surface runoff. We are at the forefront of applying new and innovative thinking and have produced Fact Sheets which demonstrate how flows can be managed differently from Brownfield sites to provide greater benefit to downstream catchments.

We have in depth understanding of the information required to progress a SuDS design through planning and the requirements of LPA and LLFA. We provide a full range of services from an initial SuDS suitability assessment through to providing detailed drawings and calculations for submission to Lead Local Flood Authorities and Drainage Boards.

We provide clear guidance and design input resulting in tailored solutions that are cost effective, buildable, and easily maintained.

Services we provide include:

We will identify to our client where there are potential wider benefits in terms of linkage with Green Infrastructure (GI) and Water sustainable urban design (WSUD).
