Client: Mott MacDonald
Application: Livestock Yard + MPI Laboratory (2,600 m²)
Challenge:
Stormwater360 was engaged to design a solution for managing stormwater and wash water runoff from a large livestock yard.
Key concerns included separating animal debris (feed, manure) from clean rainwater, capturing the full first flush, and preventing wash water from entering the stormwater network.
Traditional systems were not sufficient to handle the site's unique demands — particularly the volume and nature of the runoff — and the inclusion of a wash-down area further required a reliable diversion system.
Solution:
Stormwater360, in collaboration with Mott MacDonald and technology partners, designed and delivered a bespoke diversion system featuring:
- Custom-engineered Fox Valve FF600 (4-valve setup)
- Capable of diverting 82 L/s of wash water and first flush runoff
- Fully automated system for seamless operation
- Plate-mounted valves for easy installation and maintenance
- First flush diversion system directing polluted runoff to treatment
- Stormwater overflow design ensuring only clean rainwater enters the stormwater network
Outcome:
A highly effective, low-maintenance solution that ensures environmental compliance by separating and treating contaminated flows, while preserving the integrity of the surrounding stormwater infrastructure.
