Balancing Ponds & Flood Management

Managing water in an environmentally friendly way has become even more vital in recent years as we address climate change. At Kent Services we help our clients manage surface water in a way that is practical, attractive, and environmentally responsible.

We can build and maintain balancing ponds, attenuation basins and other flood-management features in order for heavy rainfall to be stored safely or run-off effectively, while reducing flood risk and improving water quality.

Our in-house team blend engineering knowledge with ecological good practice to take care of every stage. Balancing ponds not only do a great job but also create greener, more wildlife-friendly spaces for people to enjoy.

The design and construction of balancing ponds will ensure controlled water retention and gradual release during periods of heavy rainfall, with effective separation of rainwater and foul water. Using enhanced soakaways this provides natural infiltration, reducing pressure on mains drainage, helping to create a more sustainable and resilient water management system.

When installing balancing ponds, we will survey your site and provide solutions for the build and planting schemes. Long term upkeep and maintenance is also important and we can plan works to ensure your pond is performing well, meeting regulatory requirements and enhancing local habitats.

Kent Services work with clients to address flood management on new development projects as well as retrospective installation. Contact us for advice and site survey.
