Our Services in Drainage Engineering
At AWA, we specalise in drainage civil engineering and design, delivering innovative and environmentally responsible compliant solutions. With an extensive portfolio of completed projects, we have a proven track record of providing tailored designs for both new developments and existing sites. Our services include flood risk assessments, drainage strategies, underground drainage design and the specification of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).
New Developments
If you are planning a new building or development, our engineers can support you from initial site assessment through to the delivery of bespoke drainage designs. We ensure that every solution is practical, efficient, and sustainable by:
If you are planning a new building or development, our drainage civil engineers can assist from preliminary site assessment and advice through to creating bespoke designs for the drainage systems by:
- Considering local geography and capacity for surface water and stormwater run-off
- Making appropriate allowances for flood compensation and environmental impacts
- Ensuring designs align with your sustainability goals
Existing Buildings and Sites
For existing properties, we provide a full range of services, including:
- Initial assessments and condition surveys of drainage systems
- Feasibility studies
- Developed designs to accommodate proposed changes
Our objective is always the same: to create practical, cost-effective solutions that support your project while protecting the environment.
What is Drainage Civil Engineering?
Drainage civil engineering is the discipline focused on planning and designing systems that safely and efficiently manage water. This may include:
- Underground drainage networks
- Flood prevention and mitigation systems
- Drainage ponds and soakaways
- Connections to public sewer networks
- Discharge to watercourses
- Transfer to water treatment facilities
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are designed to mimic natural processes by collecting, storing, and slowly releasing water back into the environment. Examples include drainage ponds commonly found on new housing developments, which not only manage water but also promote biodiversity and enhance local ecology.
Choosing AWA means working with a team of skilled professionals who bring technical expertise and a proven record of success across a wide range of projects.
Do You Need a Drainage Engineer?
You will need drainage engineering input if you are developing a new building, as drainage infrastructure must be carefully designed to prevent damp, water penetration, and flooding while ensuring water is safely transported to the mains network.
If you are changing or extending an existing building, a drainage engineer can confirm whether the current system is adequate or whether modifications are required.
You may also require professional support if your property is experiencing drainage issues such as flooding, blocked drains, or even complete system failure.
