Discuss the flooding conditions in your area.
Many industrial estates have attempted various methods to address water pooling—ranging from enlarging drainage channels and installing new paving to using water pumps during heavy rain. However, pooling can still occur if the stormwater management system is not viewed holistically. Typically, the problem arises because:
  • water flow direction is not well-organized
  • surface area is overly sealed, hindering water absorption
  • drainage channel capacity is inadequate for the volume of rainwater
  • water accumulation points are not properly addressed
  • infiltration areas remain limited
  • repairs are carried out piecemeal rather than based on a system design
Before proceeding to the construction phase, it is essential to first understand site conditions.

Water Ponding Issues Are Not Always Resolved by Adding Drainage Channels

With the right approach, a drainage system does more than just channel water away; it also helps reduce runoff, enhance infiltration, and keep operational areas more comfortable to use.

Actia Carbon × Drainage and Hydrology Experts

Assisting in the design and implementation of permeable paving and green drainage systems for industrial estates, factories, warehouses, and commercial areas. The approach begins with understanding site-specific issues, such as:
Where does the water come from?
Where does the water flow?
Which spots frequently get waterlogged?
What solutions can be implemented?

The Solutions We Offer

Permeable Paving

Paving that allows rainwater to seep through surface gaps or pores, preventing all the water from flowing directly into drainage channels.

Drainage Channel

A channel designed to direct the flow of rainwater so that it does not accumulate in specific areas.

Infiltration wells

Facilities designed to help capture and infiltrate rainwater into the ground, tailored to site conditions and the needs of the area.

Functional Green Area

Green areas that not only improve the appearance of the area but also help retain and absorb rainwater runoff.

Technical Field Study

Preliminary survey and analysis to determine the causes of inundation, the condition of existing channels, water flow patterns, and the most suitable mitigation options.

Suitable for Which Areas?

These permeable paving and green drainage services are suitable for large-surface areas frequently affected by pooling water during rainfall, such as:
  • industrial estates
  • factories
  • warehouses and storage facilities
  • large parking areas
  • loading docks
  • internal access roads
  • hospitals
  • university campuses
  • commercial centers
  • open areas requiring improved drainage/infiltration systems
Each site presents unique conditions. Therefore, the drainage system design must be tailored to the area’s contours, surface conditions, drainage capacity, soil type, and operational requirements.

Benefits of Permeable Paving and Green Drainage for Your Area

With a more organized system, the area can derive several benefits, such as:
  • helping to reduce the risk of recurring water pooling
  • facilitating smooth vehicle access during rainfall
  • making loading docks and work areas more comfortable to use
  • reducing the load on existing drainage channels
  • helping to preserve the condition of roads, yards, and parking areas
  • giving the area a neater, more professional appearance
  • supporting the company’s environmental and ESG initiatives
  • providing added value for tenants, investors, buyers, or asset owners
This solution can also form part of the company’s efforts to improve stormwater management and enhance the area’s resilience against extreme weather.

Work Stages

We begin by understanding the conditions of your site. For instance, we identify which points are prone to inundation, when water levels typically rise, how long it takes for the water to recede, and which areas most disrupt operations. Based on this stage, the team can provide a preliminary assessment regarding whether a more detailed survey or targeted intervention is required.
The team checked the condition of the area directly, including the land surface, slope, existing channels, water collection points, and possible infiltration areas. The results of this stage can be the basis for developing technical recommendations. Output that can be provided includes:
  • identify inundation points
  • rainwater flow analysis
  • evaluate existing drainage channels
  • solution recommendations
  • estimated work requirements
Once the site conditions are understood, we formulate the most suitable system concept. Not every area requires the use of all components. In some locations, improvements to drainage channels and infiltration wells may suffice. In other locations, optimal results can be achieved by combining these with permeable paving and functional green spaces. The design is developed by taking into account the area’s function, operational activities, water flow patterns, and the long-term needs of the site.
Once the design is agreed upon, work can proceed to the implementation stage. The work may include:
  • installation of permeable paving
  • construction or repair of drainage channels
  • construction of infiltration wells
  • creation of functional green areas
  • finishing of the area
  • inspection of the completed work
Implementation is carried out with due regard for the area’s operational conditions to ensure the work is well-planned and does not excessively disrupt primary activities.
Once the work is complete, the team can provide maintenance guidelines to ensure the system continues to function properly. Permeable paving, drainage channels, and infiltration wells require periodic checks to prevent clogging by sediment, soil, sand, leaves, or debris.

When Should a Company Start Checking Its Drainage System?

Check your company’s drainage system if you encounter conditions such as:

  • Puddles always form in the same spot.
  • It takes a long time for the water to recede.
  • Access for trucks or vehicles is often disrupted during rain.
  • Drainage channels are often full or overflowing.
  • The parking area and courtyard deteriorate quickly.
  • The loading dock is not optimal during heavy rain.
  • The company is reorganizing the area.
  • There is a need to improve environmental or ESG aspects.
If any of these conditions occur, the safest first step is to conduct an initial inspection to understand the cause of the pooling before determining the type of work required.

FAQ

Project costs depend on the surface area, the nature of the inundation, the type of surface, existing drainage capacity, and the specific solutions required on-site. Implementation costs start at IDR 500 million. For companies preferring a phased approach, drainage study and design services are available prior to the construction stage. This phase helps companies understand the causes of inundation, available mitigation options, and estimated costs before making a decision.
The study and design phase generally takes approximately **2–3 weeks**. If the project proceeds to construction, the duration depends on the size and complexity of the area; the work typically takes around **4–12 weeks**. Before work begins, the team will help outline the work stages to ensure a clear process while taking the area’s operational activities into account.
This system can help reduce the risk of pooling, particularly if designed based on site conditions, water flow patterns, and available drainage capacity. Permeable paving allows rainwater to permeate the surface. Drainage channels, infiltration wells, and functional green areas help manage water flow and absorption, preventing accumulation at a single point. Its effectiveness remains influenced by rainfall intensity, soil type, site contours, existing drainage capacity, and the availability of infiltration areas.
Yes. This solution is suitable for areas with large surface areas and a high risk of pooling water, such as industrial estates, factories, warehouses, parking lots, access roads, and loading docks. The system helps companies manage rainwater more effectively while ensuring that vehicle access and operational areas remain convenient to use during the rainy season.
Yes, but the maintenance is relatively simple. Permeable paving, drainage channels, and infiltration wells need to be checked periodically to ensure they do not become clogged with sediment, sand, leaves, soil, or debris. The team can provide maintenance guidelines after the work is completed to ensure the system continues to function effectively in the long term.
Yes. Technical studies and recommendations can be prepared to support a company’s environmental documentation requirements, including PROPER, ESG, Greenship, or Green Building standards. These documents must be tailored to specific assessment requirements and the actual conditions of the site. With survey data, system designs, and technical documentation in place, the company establishes a stronger foundation for demonstrating well-planned environmental management efforts.
Yes, it is possible. A company does not have to proceed directly to the construction phase. Many clients choose to start with a drainage study and design to gain a clearer understanding of problem areas, handling priorities, and estimated costs. This approach is safer if the project requires prior approval from management, the board of directors, tenants, or the property owner.
