A highly innovative and bespoke flood management grating system with special anti slip coating has been designed to combat serious flooding problems along Groeswen Lane, Caerphilly.
Local residents of Hendredenny, Caerphilly experienced serious flooding across an important supply road to the area. A day of heavy rain would turn the road into a small river and conditions were exasperated due to a local farm having part of its land concreted. This prevented natural drainage and increase the amount of surface water runoff flooding the local primary school and turning fields into swamps. The village needed a solution which would not only help to redirect and manage the excess water but was also safe for farmyard animals such as Ducks, Horses and Sheep which regularly cross the road. Furthermore the proposed solution had to be completed while the road was still open as traffic still needed access.
