ENGINEERING APPROACH

Sustainable Drainage & Civil Engineering Design

With over 20 year’s experience, our engineering expertise can deliver fully integrated, cost effective, nature led, sustainable drainage and civil engineering designs that bring the benefits of water management, biodiversity enhancement within the landscape architecture and help bring a sense of place to the site. 

Cross section indicating integrated SuDS strategy

Our approach is to offer a clear and transparent engineering design service for clients from small glamping site owners or house holders looking to gain SAB (Sustainable Drainage Approval Body) approval in Wales, to larger education, residential, visitor destination and public realm projects that require flood mitigation and full coordinated foul and surface water drainage and civil engineering input.

Land Studio offers the full range of engineering services as standalone services but also holistically with landscape architecture and Building With Nature.
