Riney is highly experienced in the design and delivery of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), helping clients manage surface water in a way that is environmentally responsible, cost-effective, and compliant with planning and regulatory requirements. 

Through group relationships with Hydro International and Tarmac we can offer unique capability in above and below ground solutions to water management. 

What Are SuDS? 

SuDS are engineered systems designed to mimic natural drainage processes. They manage rainfall close to where it falls, reducing flood risk, improving water quality, and enhancing biodiversity. SuDS features can include: 

• Swales and detention basins 

• Permeable paving 

• Rain gardens and green roofs 

• Attenuation tanks and soakaways 

• Filter strips and infiltration trenches 

Riney’s Expertise 

Riney can deliver SuDS solutions as part of both new infrastructure schemes and retrofit projects. Our combined group capability is skilled in:

• Coordinating with local authorities and water companies for approvals 

• Installing both soft and hard SuDS features with minimal disruption 

• Supporting biodiversity and urban greening through landscape-led drainage solutions 

We work closely with clients, designers, and environmental specialists to ensure each SuDS installation meets performance, aesthetic, and sustainability goals.
