Grasscrete
Grass Concrete Ltd is a world leader in the development and supply of 'green' construction solutions. Expert environmental engineers for over 50 years, we were committed to our environment and the creation of greenspace long before the rest.
Flood infrastructure often sits alongside communities and natural assets.
By allowing grass growth into engineered concrete, Grasscrete solutions offer a less intrusive and more visually cohesive option for flood storage areas, spillway slopes, and embankments. This approach supports public amenity without compromising performance.
Function and form can coexist.

#landscapearchitecture #suds #flooddefence
Conventional impermeable surfaces push stormwater rapidly into sewer systems, increasing downstream flood risk.
Our design controls run-off, increasing the opportunity for natural infiltration and slowing flows. That makes it an asset for SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) and other flood mitigation approaches.
Better water pathways = lower peaks = stronger defences.

Grasscrete systems have been specified for spillway protection in major flood alleviation programmes in the UK, able to cope with flow rates of up to 8 metres per second while blending visually with the landscape.
This isn’t just engineering, it’s thoughtful design that respects the environment and infrastructure alike.

The Institution of Civil Engineers continues to highlight the need for systemic flood resilience: www.ice.org.uk/news-views-insights/inside-infrastructure/improving-england-flood-resilience
Flood defence must be proactive, integrated and long-term.
Ground-level water management plays a critical role in that system.
At Grasscrete, we believe resilient infrastructure begins at the design stage.

Flood-conscious design should never compromise load-bearing performance.
Grasscrete’s reinforced concrete systems provide:
✔ Structural stability
✔ Vehicle access
✔ Erosion control
✔ Water infiltration
It’s this combination of strength and permeability that supports long-term resilience.
