The Akeman Street project in Cambridge involves transforming a brownfield site into a modern two-storey residential block with commercial space for the local community.
A below-ground surface water drainage scheme was implemented, incorporating SuDS. A permeable hardstanding system with controlled discharge rates and sub-base attenuation was used to filter and improve runoff quality before discharging to the drainage network.
