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.
Rosehill's stance of sustainability
According to the company, sustainability is a key focus across its business, especially within the Rail, Highways and Defence divisions where Rosehill manufactures a range of sustainable products from recycled rubber.
Each year, the company repurposes over 350,000 tires into durable products, reducing landfill waste and lessening reliance on non-renewable materials like concrete.
Its commitment to sustainability is reflected in products including our level crossing systems, cycle lane solutions, and its new Modular Drainage System—all produced using recycled rubber. As Rosehill continues to innovate across all our divisions, our aim is to push forward with sustainable solutions wherever possible and helping support a greener future.
