Attenuation Solutions

As the industry has developed it has become an imperative to consider the attenuation of storm water and incorporate this design into the project whilst not compromising on the footprint of the building. We work closely with SuDS designers, pumped drainage experts, permanent and temporary works engineers to come up with solutions that often need to be installed in restrictive space environments.

Structural waterproofing in construction refers to the techniques and materials used to prevent the ingress of water into a building’s structure. It involves designing and implementing systems that ensure that the building remains dry and free from water damage. This is particularly important in below-ground structures such as basements and substructures, as well as in areas prone to high levels of moisture or rainfall.

Water attenuation systems are infrastructure solutions designed to manage and control the flow of stormwater runoff, preventing flooding and reducing the risk of water pollution. These systems typically involve the installation of various components that temporarily store excess rainwater and gradually release it back into the environment or drainage systems at a controlled rate. Here are some common types of water attenuation systems:

Rain Gardens

Rain gardens are landscaped depressions planted with native vegetation that collect and absorb stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other impervious surfaces. They are effective at reducing

Green Roofs

Green roofs are vegetative layers installed on top of buildings, which absorb and retain rainwater, reducing runoff and mitigating the urban heat island effect. They can also improve air quality and provide habitat for birds and insects.

Permeable Pavements

Permeable pavements are surfaces made of porous materials that allow stormwater to infiltrate into the ground rather than running off. They include permeable concrete, asphalt, and paving blocks, which help to reduce flooding and prevent pollutants from reaching water bodies.

Modular Storage Systems

These systems consist of prefabricated modules or crates installed underground to provide temporary storage for stormwater. They can be customized and easily expanded based on site-specific requirements.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems

Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rainwater for various uses, such as irrigation, toilet flushing, and laundry. By capturing rainwater before it enters stormwater drains, these systems reduce the demand on municipal water supplies and alleviate pressure on drainage systems during heavy rainfall events.

“Really enjoyed working with BH Basements on our Project. Tom and Chris were very helpful, experienced and proactive. It was a tight difficult build with occupied neighboring properties but they managed to complete the works with great success. Would be very happy to work with again!”

Jason Bolger

MBA projects

“We have had the pleasure of working with both Tom & Chris from BH Basements on two residential projects in Clapham and Mayfair. Both projects were undertaken to a high standard, professionally, on time and also on budget.
