Main Deliverables:
- Generated flow paths on the site using ArcMAP.
- Analysed the effect of the development on the site’s drainage pattern.
- Proposed drainage systems
- Processed Findings from the Geotechnical investigation to validate various design aspects.
We carried out a detailed site analysis using ArcMAP to assess existing flow paths
and the impact of the proposed development on drainage for the listed projects.
Based on this, we designed soakaways and French drains in line with LDA recommendations for key structures. Geotechnical findings were also integrated
to validate and support the overall design
