Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) - IRIDRA's solutions
For the urban drainage, IRIDRA proposes the following technical solutions
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
- Rainwater harvesting
- Infiltration systems (trenches, basins, etc.)
- Filter drains
- Filter streeps
- Rain garden
- Bioretention systems
- Tree box filters
- Detention basins
- Ponds and Wetlands
