Project Overview
RAB partnered with our client to bring an ambitious vision to life; a state-of-the-art industrial unit at Kings Langley. Nestled in a strategic location, this site’s transformation showcases innovative flood risk management and environmental stewardship, redefining what it means to build responsibly.
Challenges Met with Innovation
- Flood Risk Management: Positioned near Mill Stream, the site required robust flood mitigation strategies. Leveraging SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) features, we ensured a development resilient to climate challenges.
- Eco-Friendly Design: From green roofs to permeable pavements, the project prioritizes sustainability, while blending harmoniously with the local ecosystem.
- Complex Terrain: A steep slope demanded precision engineering to prevent downstream flooding and safeguard biodiversity.
Solutions That Make a Difference
- Smart Drainage Strategy: Innovative diffuse swale systems, a cellular storage tank along with permeable pavement parking, and green roofs manage runoff efficiently, protecting both the development and its surroundings.
- Green Initiatives: By incorporating solar panels and wildflower meadows, the site not only supports biodiversity but also reduces its carbon footprint.
The Result?
A sustainable, flood-resilient development that serves as a model for the future. The South Bend project isn’t just about construction, it’s about coexisting with nature while addressing real-world challenges.
