SuDS case study

and McCloy Consulting

Based upon their extensive SuDS experience, McCloy Consulting were commissioned by RES in June 2006, to deliver a robust and workable SuDS solution, for the management of construction rainfall runoff at Lough Hill Wind Farm.

The development consists of 7 turbines and 2.5km of access road. The project presented a number of environmental hazards including; difficult ground conditions, environmentally sensitive water bodies close by, not to mention the adverse weather conditions encountered.

The SuDS solution developed by McCloy Consulting was one of source control. This was designed to mimic the natural hydrology of the site, therefore limiting the impact on the surrounding area. Ongoing communication with the project delivery team and regular site visits during construction ensured the successful delivery of the SuDS solution.
