Aquaflow Aggregates for Landscapers

As previously mentioned, Aquaflow proves ideal for placement beneath hard landscaping, particularly in areas requiring enhanced drainage to ensure proper water dispersal during rainy periods. Consequently, Limestone Chippings serve as an excellent substrate beneath materials like Artificial Grass, facilitating efficient drainage by allowing rainwater to permeate through the turf and into the aggregates.

Similarly, Aquaflow serves as a suitable sub-base for Block Paving. While some Block Paving options are semi-permeable, Porcelain Block Paving lacks this feature. Hence, landscapers and builders opt for permeable jointing compounds like EasyJoint to enable smooth water drainage through the joints. Incorporating Aquaflow in the sub-base facilitates water passage through the joints and along the Limestone Aggregates, potentially mitigating flooding issues. This strategy ensures effective water management in landscaping projects, enhancing both functionality and durability.

Limestone Aggregates for Builders

In scenarios involving large-scale construction projects, the installation of a new water line piping system necessitates the use of Aquaflow Aggregates due to their permeable nature and robustness. Often combined with sharp sand, experts frequently employ Limestone Aggregates to assist in bedding the pipe, ensuring secure placement while facilitating steady rainfall drainage.

Increasingly, new constructions are mandated by law to incorporate Sustainable Urban Drainage systems to combat flash flooding. Consequently, Aquaflow Aggregates find versatile applications in various configurations around the building. Placed along the property's periphery, these aggregates aid in capturing excess rainfall. This approach can be scaled up for implementation around the building's perimeter, especially at the base of slopes where flood risk is elevated. By strategically integrating Aquaflow Aggregates into construction projects, not only are regulatory requirements met, but effective measures against flooding are also implemented, enhancing the sustainability and resilience of urban developments.

SUDS Compliant Aggregates 

SUDS, short for Sustainable Drainage Systems, mandates the incorporation of effective drainage solutions in new building proposals, particularly in urban settings where green spaces for natural drainage are limited. Our supplied Aquafloe Aggregates are certified by SUDS due to their composition and development process.

SUDS aims to replicate natural drainage processes in buildings and properties by slowing and diverting excess water flow. This facilitates the breakdown of debris and pollutants, allowing them to filter naturally into the ground. Varieties of SUDS include source, site, and regional control methods.

Notably, SUDS play a crucial role in preventing water pollution, reducing flood risks, and mitigating drought by replenishing groundwater reserves. These regulations are set to become mandatory in all major developments, ensuring the widespread adoption of sustainable drainage practices.

The advantages of SUDS are manifold, including pollution prevention, flood risk reduction, and groundwater replenishment to combat drought. This imperative will soon be standard practice across all new major developments, signalling a significant stride towards sustainable urban planning and environmental stewardship.

PLEASE NOTE: While every effort has been made to ensure our landscaping and building materials are free from contamination; there is always the chance that there may be small pieces of debris present. Please ensure you handle the sand with care when using it.
