Why Saudi Arabia needs SuDS — not bigger drains
Stormwater in arid climates arrives in sudden, intense events. Conventional pipe networks are sized for the wrong problem. Here's the engineering rationale for SuDS in the Kingdom.
Coming soonTechnical explainers, design guidance, and field notes from the NGS engineering team — written for consultants, contractors, and developers working on Saudi infrastructure.
Stormwater in arid climates arrives in sudden, intense events. Conventional pipe networks are sized for the wrong problem. Here's the engineering rationale for SuDS in the Kingdom.
Coming soonLessons from delivering Saudi Arabia's largest SuDS project — value engineering from ponds to AquaCell, site logistics, and training the installation crew.
Coming soonWhat actually happens to a containment liner over five decades of Saudi heat, UV, and salinity — and how we specify materials accordingly.
Coming soonHow to approach soakaway design for a Saudi site — infiltration testing, design rainfall, void ratio, and safety factors. A primer for early-stage design.
Coming soonGeo-cellular tanks versus conventional pipe-and-pond drainage. A side-by-side comparison of footprint, cost, installation speed, and lifecycle performance.
Coming soonThe carbon mathematics behind replacing mineral-based construction with geosynthetics — and why it adds up to as much as 75% reduction.
