Water Companies

Solutions that provide reductions in sewer flooding events and per capita water consumption, SDS products are widely used by every Water Company in the UK.

 

Delivering water security by managing the journey of water from source to sea.

Climate change and population growth are placing the water sector under unprecedented and ever-increasing pressure. The impact on nature and the environment of over-abstraction of our water bodies and multiple uncontrolled sewerage overspills are the subject of intense public and media scrutiny.

The adoption of innovative technologies and application of modern, integrated approaches to water management will play a key role in ensuring the water industry’s long-term resilience and maintaining a sustainable supply of this most precious resource.

SDS provides a turnkey service for the holistic management of water including its collection, treatment, storage, attenuation or infiltration, recycling and supply, and the maintenance of the devices that have been designed, engineered and installed by SDS.

SDS GEOlight® attenuation tank and Weholite pipelines and flow control chamber combine to prevent surface water flooding.

In the graphic below SDS GEOlight® attenuation and Weholite system inspection, flow control and conveyance devices work together to ensure surface water is managed efficiently and effectively, from its point of ingress into the SuDS system to its final release. Weholite manholes and access shafts also provide a suitable location in which to house SDS SYMBiotIC™ smart monitoring and control devices.

Community Rainwater Harvesting & Recycling.

 As the shortfalls in water availability intensify householders will inevitably be amongst those required to reduce their potable water consumption.

In the diagram below dual feed pipework allowing potable and non-potable water to be supplied to domestic premises separately, although not currently legalised, will most surely become a prerequisite of new housing developments.
