  • Stormwater tank design – the Grundfos way
    Increasingly, cities and low-lying areas are at risk of sewer overflow from extreme rainfall. Stormwater tanks can help reduce the impact of extreme climatic events by holding back excess stormwater and contaminants. This protects the environment and makes possible the intelligent management of stormwater flows, resulting in savings on infrastructure investments. Now Grundfos has developed a handbook informing engineers about tank design and optimisation.

Southern Water flood protection scheme for Folkestone’s historic homes

17 December 2009

Used as holiday homes by writers such as Charles Dickens, TS Elliott and HG Wells, Folkestone’s historic cliff-top homes will be protected from flooding through the £1.4 million scheme from Southern Water

Homes in Clifton Crescent which are liable to sewer flooding, will be protected with the installation of a 800,000 litre storm water tank and a pumping station, channelling 33 litres of wastewater per second, at the Leas in Folkestone. The new storm tank, provided by Southern Water, will increase the capacity of the sewer network so it can store excess water until it can be pumped on to Southern Water’s treatment works at Broomfield Bank, near Dover.
 

Gary Sayers, Southern Water’s senior contract engineer said: “We are pleased to bring these improvements to Folkestone to help protect homes along the cliff top from flooding in wet weather. The location of this vital work has attracted a great deal of interest from residents but, when the scheme is finished, the cliff tops will be restored to their former glory and no-one will be aware of the flood protection operating underground.”
 

Southern Water’s suppliers 4Delivery (4D) are carrying out the improvement work which began in September 2009 and is due to be completed by March 2010.
