Formpave’s SUDS Helps To Meet
Guernsey’s High Water Quality Standards
Formpave’s permeable paving and Sustainable Urban
Drainage System (SUDS) has been used on two high
profile projects in Guernsey to help meet the island’s
high pollution control and surface water requirements.
The concept behind SUDS is to help prevent flooding by
replicating natural systems and processes to drain surface
water run-off in a controlled way. This is done through
collection, storage and cleaning before the water is slowly
released back, either into the watercourses or directly
into the ground.
It has been used at Les Beaucamps High School and a development of 40 homes on the site of the former Guernsey
Grammar school for Boys. Both schemes also incorporated EcoGranite, which is o ne of the most sustainable permeable paving options on the market. It contains up to 77
per cent recycled materials and is an environmentallyfriendly alternative to the use of freshly quarried granite.
