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