Engineering brief.

A SuDS-compliant driveway sub-base across 380 linear metres of estate carriage drive. We installed a 250 mm permeable Type 3 sub-base over geocellular drainage layer, with kerb-edge swales discharging to an attenuation crate beneath the formal lawn. The base was profiled to a 1.5% crossfall for surface-water management without visible drainage furniture.
