As part of the Autodesk Water Webinar Series, Smart Water Magazine and Autodesk Water are excited to present Modelling innovative Blue-Green approaches to stormwater management. This session, to take place on Wednesday, November 27 at 11:00 GMT / 12:00 CET, will highlight the innovative £76 million Mansfield Sustainable Flood Resilience project, the largest retrofit of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in the UK. The project addresses the growing threat of surface water flooding through nature-based solutions such as rain gardens, bioswales, and detention basins, benefiting 90,000 residents while promoting biodiversity and enhancing urban spaces.
As lead design partner for Severn Trent, AECOM developed a catchment-wide strategy and applied advanced hydraulic modeling tools like InfoWorks ICM to design and deploy SuDS efficiently. This initiative redefines urban water management, showcasing a shift from conventional engineering methods to sustainable blue-green infrastructure.
Meet the Speakers
This webinar features a panel of experts who played a pivotal role in delivering this groundbreaking project, including Luke C. Johnson, Principal Consultant at AECOM, Hannah Howe, Principal Consultant & Team Leader at AECOM, and Paul Campbell, Solutions Engineer at Autodesk.
