Drainage

All aspects of shallow and deep drainage

At Hopkinson Civil Engineering, we will be able to assist and guide you through all aspects of shallow and deep drainage for projects across Manchester and Oldham.

Typically, shallow drainage is preferred where soils are impermeable. Deep drainage, also known as ground water drainage, alternatively places pipes at a depth of 1+m to accept water which has soaked through more permeable soil.

No matter the type of soil or the requirements of your drainage system, our drainage experts will work alongside you to make sure you achieve the perfect drainage for your project.

Here are some of the drainage solutions which we are proud to be able to offer.

Installation of attenuation tanks

The installation of attenuation tanks is a temporary storage solution of surface water in a below-ground chamber. Membranes in the system then gradually release water back into the ground, dramatically reducing any flood risks during peak periods of rainfall.

Here at Hopkinson Civil Engineering, we are able to design, supply and install attenuation tanks, crates and their systems.

Installation of ACO water management systems

ACO has been a leading supplier in the design, development and manufacture of surface water drainage systems for the last 70 years. Their extensive portfolio worldwide provides a water management solution for every situation. At Hopkinson Civil Engineering, we are registered stockists of ACO products, and are specialists in the installation of ACO water management systems.
