Drainage

Subsoil and surface water drainage designed and installed — from flood risk assessment and SuDS through to pumping stations, attenuation tanks and outfalls.

Getting water off the site, and keeping it off

Drainage refers to the process of removing excess water from an area. Both subsoil drainage and surface water drainage systems are essential for maintaining the stability and integrity of a building or structure.

Drainage systems are used to prevent water from accumulating and causing damage and erosion. VERTEX will provide detailed drainage analysis and ensure that the most appropriate drainage system is used for the site or build, ensuring conveyance of effluent by drains to sewers, and from sewers to a suitable outfall.
