LI Wales: Retro-fitting SuDS in a City Centre
11 Nov 2021
As part of the COP26 series ‘Landscapes Beyond COP26’, and in collaboration with our friends from the North West branch, we are very pleased to host this talk about Sustainable Drainage Systems, retro-fitted in the centre of the city of Cardiff.
Hear about these three projects, the challenges faced and lessons learned, from the perspectives of Ian Titherington, the City Council’s Drainage Officer, and Design Engineers Dan Tram and Rob Varley from Arup.
