Balancing Pond Surveys and Maintenance

SUD, Attenuation Pond and Balancing Pond Surveys and Maintenance

Sustainable Drainage Systems have been designed to be environmentally beneficial whilst resolving surface water issues on many newly constructed housing estates, retail and business parks and also large new road networks. Over time these systems will require maintenance to ensure they are functioning as intended, inlets and outlets are clear, the vegetation is not over grown and the pond continues to offer valuable habitats.   on

SuDs can have a number of benefits including, creating new habitats for wildlife, easing flood burdens, filtration of pollutants and creating an aesthetically pleasing outlook to a newly developed site.

Most SuDs, balancing or attenuation ponds are planted around the margins with bulrush or reeds which are excellent pollutant filtration plants. However, if regular maintenance is not undertaken these plants can quickly spread and engulf the pond which in turn reduces the effectiveness and water holding capacity of the system.
