Rosehill’s modular drainage system: sustainable solution for flood protection
According to Rosehill, its modular drainage system has demonstrated its effectiveness in ongoing testing across diverse real-world scenarios. Designed to protect infrastructure such as roads and railways from flooding, the system effectively manages water flow, handling everything from frequent rain to extreme weather events like 1-in-1,000-year storms. As a surface drain, it matches the discharge flow rate of a 225mm pipe while requiring over 70% less ground work.

The system features self-correcting and resilient properties, ensuring reliable drainage even with initial alignment imperfections. Its sturdy construction minimizes blockages and structural failures, offering long-term durability.
Built for tough environments, the system withstands exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for varied climates and demanding conditions.
Sustainability and ease of installation are additional benefits. Manufactured from recycled rubber, it offers a low-carbon alternative that is quick to deploy with minimal disruption, whether for new projects or existing infrastructure upgrades.
