Smarter Drainage, Cleaner Waterways

Drainage, Environmental, Gully Guard, News, Polybed September 5, 2018

The Forest Group’s drainage product range has been developed to help solve the problems of modern construction and development.

There has been growing pressure on the industry to employ more responsible surface water control measures not just during the design stages through the integration of sustainable drainage or SuDS, but also in the construction phase to control pollution and contamination from site.

Both Gully Guard and Polybed product ranges, not only help save on labour installation costs and programme time, but can also help manage surface water in a more environmentally conscious way.

Due to the ever increasing demand for our market leading products we are excited to announce that Forest Drainage Products is expanding!
