SHARE STORY

This event will discuss the importance of a rounded SuDs solution including blue/green and grey.

The 40-minute webinar dives into Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDs), exploring how to retrofit them in dense city environments, taking into account the requirements of legislation as well as any ideological views on water management. It will explore the role of blue/green infrastructure and how this can be supported by grey infrastructure. It will also look at the role of smart solutions in providing a well rounded approach to water circularity.

In this CPD-accredited webinar, here's what you'll gain:

  • Understand the key challenges faced by cities in the face of climate change including urban heat stress, urbanisation and air pollution. All of which cause design constraints on how a city would manage flooding and droughts.
  • Understand the need to move from a linear surface water management system to a more circular solution and how blue green can form a vital part of a holistic drainage solution.
  • Understand the vital role of grey infrastructure can play in managing urban city water management in conjunction with blue/green to manage large volumes.
  • Have a grasp of the role of smart solutions in weather mapping to provide water management in periods of flood and drought.

The speaker is Martin Lambley, Global Product Manager for Urban Climate Resilience with Wavin. He is responsible for the management of Wavin’s below ground water management plastic product portfolio which covers Foul and Stormwater Drainage products and Utility pipelines. Originally graduating with a degree in Environmental Engineering and Resource Management he spent time in engineering practice before moving over to the manufacturing sector. Since moving over he has fulfilled several roles within sales and marketing with manufacturers of products within the water management sector. He has over twenty years-experience in the use of plastics within water management including flood management and sustainable drainage (SuDS). As part of this work Martin has been an active contributor to developing best practice within the sector working on several related guidance documents.

This course will be held between 12-1pm on 16th July 2024, and is approved by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management. Attendance will contribute toward your continuing professional development (CPD).
