SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT SURVEY: Im/Permeable hardstandings (posted Dec 2009)

The Building Standards Division of the Scottish Government are investigating the extent and cost of designing and constructing small areas of im/permeable hardstanding (driveways, small parking areas, etc.) around new and existing, domestic and non-domestic buildings. As one of the main drivers for this is the increase in flood risk associated with development “creep”, you may wish to complete their online survey: http://tinyurl.com/hardstanding

Sudsnet is ‘Outstanding' Success - 4th March 2008

"A UK-wide network created by Abertay and Coventry Universities for professionals interested in sustainable urban drainage systems has been given top marks by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

SUDSnet which provides users with information about training and employment opportunities, possible research collaborations, networking and events was designed by researchers in Abertay's Urban Water Technology Centre and at Coventry University with funding from the EPSRC.

More than 400 experts including students, academics, industry specialists in town planning, house building and regulatory bodies like SEPA use the network every day to exchange ideas and information on current projects and other issues.

A review of the network by the EPSRC has given SUDSnet the highest rating of ‘outstanding' and described it as ‘internationally leading'.

In the report the EPSRC reviewers said: “This is a well organised and highly respected network which has proved value for money from government funding.

“There is every expectation that value will continue to increase as the network continues to grow beyond the funding completion date.”

The findings confirm Abertay's status as the top ranking university in Scotland for environmental research. Scotland 's first degrees in bioinformatics and biotechnology were launched here.

The University is also home to SIMBIOS (the Scottish Informatics, Mathematics, Biology and Statistics Centre) where mathematical modelling techniques are applied to environmental and biomedical process."
