The patented ACO Blue/Green Roof system complies with Building Standards and Regulations by ensuring the flat roof can drain quickly in extreme events and slowly in normal use.
The ACO solution separates the competing drainage requirements by engineering an elevated structural attenuation system that operates independently of the flat roof drainage system, allowing both storm eventualities and systems to be engineered to known standards and best practice.
Separating the design issues ensures that compromise is not needed. The attenuation system can drain slowly in normal use and in an unforeseen eventuality the attenuation system can be bypassed if necessary and the flat roof drain quickly.
The ACO blue roof system ensures water is not encouraged to remain in contact with the waterproofing layer dramatically lowering the building risk.
The system can be incorporated under a wide range of roof finishes from soft landscaping to trafficked areas, and with a variety of roof construction types including inverted roofs and podium decks.

Blue Roofs are rapidly becoming the chosen method for mitigating floods and promoting urban greening in city environments, but what are they? And how do they integrate with the roof build up?
The presentation explains their role and discusses the different approaches to their design, and how they are commonly installed.
