GeoSmart Detailed Drainage Design
Planning applications often require that developers construct sustainable drainage. The first step is to complete a sustainable drainage strategy (via one of our SuDs reports) that evaluates which options are available for drainage. Building on this, a Detailed Drainage Design provides calculations and drawings that shows what to build where to satisfy the agreed drainage strategy.
Our Detailed Drainage Report provides in-depth details including pipe dimensions, cover and invert levels and gradients.
This product is ideal to bundle with one of our SuDs reports which will provide the drainage strategy for the detailed design to based upon.
