What is Stormwater Attenuation & Why Do You Need It?

When we look at the weather patterns over the past decades – the general consensus is that the weather is definitely more erratic with all four seasons in one day on many occasions. With this has come more storms bringing more flooding which cause damage over the long term to infrastructure.

This damage does not just happen at the point of flooding but as the water flows downstream over the river banks – it needs somewhere to go and it is the low lying land that gets severely hit.

There are things that can be done to alleviate the potential damage that these storms and floodwaters can cause.  The solution is Stormwater Attenuation which is concerned with taking the rainwater and holding it/attenuating it in a stormwater attenuation tank and then releasing it at a rate that does not inundate the water system and cause flooding.

By controlling the release of stormwater, damage is avoided compared to what happens without having a stormwater attenuation tank in place
