Blue roof systems deliver attenuate and control the release of stormwater at roof level, helping buildings and developments meet SuDS regulations. Systems are available across multiple build-up depths and finishes, including pedestrian and trafficable hard landscape options as well as green finish systems.

Intensive systems accommodate deeper substrates suitable for a wider range of planting and landscaped rooftop spaces.

ABG's team of designers collaborates with architects, engineers and developers to design and specify the full system build-up above the waterproofing layer to meet surface water reduction targets or discharge consent limits.
