With the amendments to Part H of the Building Regulations covering surface water drainage and
Planning Policy Guidance 25 - Development and Flood Risk now affecting the way planners are
thinking, developers are being encouraged for the first time, to include sustainable drainage
systems within their project designs.

To help simplify the selection process Polypipe Group Companies, Polypipe Building Products
Ltd. and Polypipe Civils Ltd. have launched Stormwater Management Solutions. This
comprehensive range of systems will ease the burden on any specifier and details can now be
found in the new A4, four colour, illustrated 28 page guide, which explains in detail requirements
and guidelines, good SUDS practice and presents the solutions using the extensive range of
products available from Polypipe Group.

A number of pages are devoted to alternative solutions from rainwater harvesting, soakaways,
attenuation and holistic approaches to ensure that the specifier selects the right method of
surface water drainage system to suit the needs and requirements of each site. The guide gives
solutions for residential applications, that will be dealt with by Polypipe Building Products and
commercial, industrial, retail applications that will be catered for by Polypipe Civils.
Accompanying the Stormwater Management Systems Guide will be a dedicated website that en
be accessed at www.stormwater.co.uk.
