GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE drainage systems, while creating valuable green roofs that improve insulation and boost biodiversity.
Martin Lambley, Senior Product Manager for Urban Climate Resilience at Wavin, said:“ Extreme weather is placing our cities under growing pressure- from intense rainfall to prolonged drought. Combined with rapid urbanisation and an ageing drainage system that is no longer fit for purpose, urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to flooding and surface water risks.
“ At Wavin, we are developing innovative, practical solutions that help cities adapt. We are combining smart water management with green infrastructure to create healthier, resilient urban environments which support biodiversity. Our next-generation SuDS approach mitigates flooding and surface water risks while supporting regulation, including Biodiversity Net Gain, helping the wider built environment contribute to national sustainability goals.
“ We are constantly striving to turn innovation into real-world impact. Solutions like TreeTank and PolderRoof demonstrate how practical, scalable systems can
manage water efficiently, protect infrastructure, and enhance urban green spaces- ensuring cities are better prepared for the challenges of extreme weather.”
To learn more about TreeTank and PolderRoof you can visit Wavin’ s stand( P71) at the upcoming Public Spaces Expo at Excel London( 7th – 8th October).
