We’re in the midst of rapid climate change. Here in the UK, we are facing potential droughts, floods, changing weather patterns and rising sea levels. Water management is becoming increasingly important, and it’s vital that we adapt to these changes and develop innovative drainage solutions to tackle these issues and improve climate resilience.
Marshalls has partnered with the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) on its digital series, #TheRippleEffect, including creating the video below. In it, we highlight the importance of water management expertise in the design and engineering process.
Jon Fawcett, Marshalls drainage engineer, gives his top 3 tips for integrating water management solutions into your project:-
Designing water management solutions for a sustainable future
“We often see a disconnect between various different players within the designing process itself; engineers need to be talking to architects.”
Vital design considerations for water management solutions
“One of the important things to consider when designing water management solutions is to ensure you have all the initial information at the initial design stage.”
Incorporating sustainable water management into your project
"Designers who are looking to incorporate sustainable water management in their design should consider talking to the manufacturer initially.”
“Here at Marshalls we have a wide variety of solutions for above and below ground water management. The most recent is EDENKERB®, an innovative modular rain garden system to assist in SUDs design”
