SuDSpod Range

Modular raingardens for streetscapes - visible SuDS performance with added biodiversity.

Why SuDSpod

SuDSpod is GreenBlue Urban’s modular SuDS planter, designed specifically for buildings. Connected directly to rainwater downpipes, it captures roof runoff at source, filters it through engineered soils, and detains flows within a compact planter footprint. Water is then released slowly — either by infiltration or at a throttled rate – reducing pressure on drainage networks.

SuDSpod makes it possible to integrate SuDS into commercial or residential buildings, roof decks and courtyards, where below-ground solutions are not an option.

Core design elements

Compact modular units — predictable performance in space-constrained sites.
Engineered soils — filter pollutants, improve water quality and sustain planting.
Internal storage — detains inflows before controlled release.
Downpipe connection — attaches directly to guttering systems for roof-runoff capture.
Retrofit-ready — lightweight planter modules for installation on existing buildings, podiums or courtyards.

Benefits

Delivers SuDS where excavation is impossible — at the building edge
Reduces sewer load by capturing roof runoff at source.
Enhances biodiversity and amenity with visible planting.
Manufactured from recycled materials with EPD verification.
Supported by CAD, BIM and technical design guidance.

Applications

Commercial buildings - managing roof discharge sustainably.
Residential developments - planter units for courtyards or façades.
Schools and community buildings - visible SuDS at the downpipe.
Landscaped courtyards or podium structures over underground car parks or basements where below-ground systems are not possible.

Case studies

SuDSpod planters are already in use on retrofit and regeneration projects – capturing roof runoff directly at the downpipe and delivering visible planting alongside reliable stormwater performance.
