Business Park Gets Sustainable SuDS Treatment
Aberdeen’s new International Business Park, next to the City’s Airport, is
delivering a Sustainable Drainage (SuDS) scheme using Up-Flo™ filtration
units and Hydro BioCell™ biofiltration units from Hydro International to meet
strict planning and pollutant removal criteria.
A wide-variety of SuDS components were included in the first phase of the
development to meet stringent planning requirements and achieve the level
of treatment required by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency
(SEPA).
“Finding small footprint solutions to achieve high treatment levels was
limited,” explains project engineer Nick Watson of Mott MacDonald. “The
six Hydro BioCell™ units are installed in a landscaped courtyard garden
around three linked commercial blocks. Runoff from the two-storey car park
is treated via four Up-Flo™ Filters in concrete manholes.
“There are some occasions where the more natural engineering approach is
less suitable due to a lack of space and having an option like Up-Flo™ can
be useful.”
