Pollution Prevention
Peak Associates can design and deliver a range of pollution prevention measures to meet the needs of our clients. This can include the assessment and inspection of existing drainage infrastructure, civil engineering to reduce pollution to controlled water bodies, and appropriate use of containment to prevent material loss.
Surface Water
Several water companies charge their commercial customers for surface water and highway drainage disposal on a site area basis. This often leads to unnecessary costs being incurred by clients. At Peak we can check whether you are currently being charged the correct amount for your site.
Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS)
Changes to planning policy in recent years have led to the increased requirement for Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS) to be included in the design of new developments. This change has been led by flooding and sewer capacity concerns due to the amount of green and brownfield sites being developed.
