The ACO SuDS Swale Inlet unit provides an aesthetically pleasing solution when linking proprietary conveyance drainage systems to vegetated infiltration features such as swales, basins, ponds and water courses.

In comparison to traditional in-situ structures and concrete headwalls, the low profile unit provides a natural looking interface between proprietary and vegetated drainage solutions, complementing the surrounding environment.

The consistent product appearance makes the product ideal for phased or retrofit installation, and the 1 in 3 gradient profile can be used to help construct swales to satisfy the CIRIA C697 guidance (Design Criteria for Swales).

The surface finish and the flared outlet of the unit encourages water dispersion and reduces excessive flow velocities – helping to protect the surrounding environment from erosion and meeting the flow rate guidance in CIRIA C697. The ACO SuDS Swale Inlet will reduce the velocity and distribute the flow across a footprint up to 6 times that of a traditionally constructed pipe outfall.

As part of a system to manage the flow rate and volume of surface water run-off, the ACO SuDS Swale Inlet reduces the risk of localised flooding and eases pressure on the drainage network.

The ACO SuDS Swale Inlet can be integrated into any SuDS drainage scheme where there is a requirement to manage water on or near the surface, helping to manage surface water at its source.

Meets the flow rate guidance in CIRIA C697, and can reduce the erosion rate to a quarter of that of a standard pipe in accordance with CIRIA R116.

Features and benefits:

• Aesthetically pleasing interface between proprietary and vegetated drainage features.
• Helps protect local area from erosion by reducing velocities and encouraging water dispersion.
• Reduces the risk of localised flooding and pressure on the drainage network.
• Reduces excessive velocities and encourages water dispersion.
• Consistent appearance complements surrounding environment.
• Complies with flow rate guidance in CIRIA C697.
• Cost effective alternative to traditional in-situ structures and pre cast concrete headwalls.
• Offers durable, long term performance.
• Simplifies installation and removes unnecessary costs.
• Fixing points for ground anchors or concrete haunching.
• One piece design.
