Refolo Landscape Architects were invited to design the public realm for a new development in Corbens Place, Maidstone.
The cul-de-sac access road provided the opportunity to design a shared surface with dropped kerbs and paving patterns.
R-LA
worked closely with the drainage engineering team to devise a SuDS
strategy that would integrate proposed road avenue tree pits.
A sustainable drainage system is designed to reduce impact of developments with respect to surface water drainage discharge.
The
purposely built SuDS tree pits and associated soakaway can replace
traditional methods of surface water run off with several advantages.
The velocity and flow rate of surface water run-off is reduced and
discharged into the tree pit, absorbed and filtered by roots and the
excess flowing into the tree pits control chambers.
