Stormwater Drainage Services
Stormwater drainage is a system that manages rainwater runoff, while roof water collection (also known as rainwater harvesting) is the process of gathering and storing rainwater for later use.
Stormwater drainage typically involves gutters, downpipes, and underground drainage networks to carry water away from buildings and paved areas. Roof water collection focuses on capturing rainwater directly from the roof using gutters, downpipes, and a storage tank.
At MGP we are experts in the design, specification and sizing of stormwater drainage systems.
Our stormwater drainage designs are about effectively and efficiently managing the overall flow of rainwater, while roof water collection is about capturing and storing a specific portion of that rainwater for reuse.

Stormwater Drainage Design:
Definition:
Stormwater drainage design is the design of the infrastructure to collect and manage rainwater runoff, including rain that falls on roofs, driveways, roads, and other surfaces.
Components:
It includes the design and sizing of gutters, downpipes, underground drainage pipes, channels, and stormwater tanks.
Purpose:
Stormwater drainage systems aim to prevent flooding, protect water quality, and minimize the spread of pollutants.
Benefits:
Properly managed stormwater drainage can reduce erosion, improve water quality, and protect downstream waterways.
Roof Water Collection (Rainwater Harvesting):
Definition:
Rainwater collection design involves the design and sizing of systems that collect and store rainwater from roofs for various uses, such as irrigation, toilet flushing, or washing.
Components:
Our designs typically include gutters, downpipes, a first flush diverter (to remove initial, dirty runoff), a rainwater tank, pump and filtration systems.
Purpose:
Rainwater collection aims to reduce reliance on potable water, save money on water bills, and promote water conservation.
Benefits:
Rainwater collection can save water, reduce water bills, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
