From Italy to the home counties, September proved a challenging month for water infrastructure as Storm Boris left its mark, causing widespread disruption. As we enter the latter months of 2024, extreme weather events are expected to rise in frequency and intensity. Wavin global product manager for urban climate resilience…

Extreme weather and climate change are undoubtedly two of the most pressing challenges facing the UK’s cities today.

Riparian ownership of watercourses in England and Wales is a significant part of the complicated jigsaw of managing local flood risk. 

Surface water management specialist Wavin has launched a white paper exploring the importance of urban climate resilience (UCR).

Decisions are at the heart of engineering and those decisions need the best possible information. More data about the condition of structures can be helpful, but identifying the right data matters.

The UK's water infrastructure is under unprecedented stress from extreme weather patterns, including frequent droughts and heavy rainfall.

Roads discharge hundreds of pollutants into waterways every time it rains. Who is responsible for mitigating the pollution and how can it be managed?

Government decision making processes can hamper project planning and delivery. Construction leaders feel that too often, ministers ignore the wider benefits of individual projects. So what should the infrastructure sector do to help the government appreciate the benefits it generates?

There’s a reason why the Ciria SuDS Manual C753 suggests that “difficult to clean” sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) attenuation systems, such as below-ground crates, should be oversized by 10%. It is because there is a risk that sediment will build up in them, reducing their storage capacity. With increasing legislation…

In the quest for sustainable stormwater management, engineers are increasingly turning to a diverse array of solutions, ranging from natural rain gardens to innovative plastic attenuation crates.
