The IKO blue roof system provides an intelligent solution to incorporate attenuation capacity into green roofs or podium deck constructions. This supports sustainable urban development without the need for space-consuming ponds, retention basins, or huge underground storage tanks. The blue roof design combines a unified drainage and attenuation space within the roof structure, complemented by a roof outlet system aligned with site-specific planning consent.
This design empowers developers to achieve storage capacities with the ability to handle up to a one-in-a-hundred-year storm event, in addition to providing support for climate change allowance without compromising the aesthetic and functional qualities of the development. The stored water can be released at a controlled rate or used for greywater or irrigation purposes.
