Considerations for a rooftop sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) in flood-sensitive areas.
A BauderBLUE roof is a solution for urban areas where options for ground-based attenuation systems are limited and where construction is being carried out within flood-sensitive areas.This presentation examines:
- The key aspects to meet the planning conditions for limiting water egress from a site.
- Current legislation, British Standards and codes of practice.
- The design of a blue roof.
- Drainage mechanism.
- Construction of the roof deck.
- Suitable waterproofing.
- Outlets and buildup components.
- Detailing.
- Options for the final visual finish.
On completion
You will understand how a rooftop SuDS delivers water attenuation over a 24hr period to manage stormwater and how to design a successful blue roof.
