Introduction

Where are the developments located?

What stage are they at ie Plan, approve, build, adopt?

Documentation store for the developments? Infiltration Design Drawings etc

Regular surveys and maintenance

Useful Sources of Information

Tools for managing the process InfoNet

Schedule Work Orders

InfoNet Mobile

Field Device

InfoNet is off the shelf software (not web based) which forms a centralised data store with a GIS interface.

Flexible import of data and many standard formats are supported eg STC25, MSCC XML

Tools enable easy validation, manipulation and analysis of data

Engineering decisions can be made by the best utilisation of that data

.

Transfer of data between the field and

InfoNet Work Order Scheduling Mapping new assets Data entered into simple and customisable forms Validation checks No internet connection required Direct transfer of photos to InfoNet No requirement for new hardware

Surveys and Maintenance

SuDS Type Surveys Maintenance

Filter Strips Monthly inspections Mowing at least twice a year

Swales Monthly inspections

Mowing at least twice a year

Filter Drains Monthly inspections

Replace clogged material.(

Typically every 10 years)

Pervious Surfaces Monthly for clogging and water

ponding

Vacuum sweeping twice a year.

Every 15-40 years fabric

replacement and silt removed

Infiltration Device Six monthly inspections of silt

traps.

Removal of sediments in silt

traps and observation well.

Basins, ponds and wetlands Monthly inspections Mowing at least twice a year

Green Roofs Six monthly inspections Replacement of bare patches.

Irrigation in early stages

Underground storage eg

modular plastic tank

Six monthly inspections Removal of silt and blockages

Summary

Still in early stages with SuDS

This method completes the circle of survey and maintenance scheduling

Field Data collection is simple and efficient.

Data analysis is essential on the survey and maintenance tasks.

Thank you for the site data:

“ACO project to determine practical SuDS implementation techniques on large commercial sites”

Please contact mfairley@aco.co.uk if you would like to receive a copy of the case study once completed and verified.
