drainage interceptor & attenuation systems
Effective SuDS-compliant surface water management for runoff and preventing harmful environmental contamination.
What is surface
water management?
Effectively controlling surface water flow and preventing environmental contamination through sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). We use attenuation systems and drainage interceptors to prevent flooding and filter oils. This protects water quality and prevents local flooding risks.
Our water management works:
site preparation
grading the site
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS)
Surface water drainage assessments
Site assessments
WHY CHOOSE US?
Choosing SGH for interceptors and attenuation systems
As a civil engineering solution provider, we will partner with developers, contractors, and private clients on specialised SuDS and surface water management projects. All of our water management services are executed with care and precision to meet the specific requirements of each site.
We provide systems that control flow rates, reduce flood risk and further damage, and support long-term environmental sustainability.
Programme management & expertise
With a dedication to our client’s goals, challenges, and timelines from the very beginning, we ensure SuDS works are delivered with precision, on time, and within budget every time. This is supported by unrestricted access to our own plant equipment, lorries, and labour.
Compliance & quality control in every project
SuDS works are a crucial civil engineering service to control surface water while protecting the environment, and should be carried out correctly. We ensure that interceptors are compliant with suitable standards and guidelines to prevent financial penalties.

What is a drainage interceptor?
An interceptor is a drainage system designed to capture and separate pollutants from surface water, such as oil and fuel. This is done before the contaminant enters the drainage system or environment.
The key reasons for installing and maintaining interceptors are:
- Pollutants could lead to long-lasting damage to natural habitats and aquatic wildlife by forming surface films that block oxygen transfer. Interceptors help to prevent this pollution in the first instance.
- Businesses in high-risk sectors (such as petrol stations, car parks, industrial sites, and vehicle maintenance areas) have a legal responsibility to prevent pollution. An interceptor would directly help with this regulatory compliance.
Failure to install and maintain an appropriate interceptor can lead to prosecution, and substantial or even unlimited financial penalties from the Environmental Agency in the UK.
At SGH, we specialise in interceptor installation and maintenance to help businesses avoid harmful sanctions. Contact our team today to discuss how we can help.
