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.” For more information about the Hydro Up-Flo™ and Hydro BioCell™ and other stormwater and wastewater management products, please call 01275 337955, email [email protected] or visit www.hydro-int.com. • • • • • • • • • Suitable for homes without access to mains drainage Discreet solution to on-site sewage treatment 10 models in the range with a capacity up to 50pe CE Marked and EN 12566-3 Certified Uses the extended aeration method to treat sewage 96% efficiency allows a typical 3-5 year emptying interval Visually unobtrusive and odourless 25 year warranty on GRP & 2 year warranty on the air pump Deal direct with the UK Manufacturer 0800 731 9421 www.webuildit-ltd.co.uk Page 59 - Archetech
