ULMA Trench Drain Systems at Ebury Bridge Estate, London
The transformation of London’s Ebury Bridge Estate is a prime example of modern urban renewal—merging sustainability, livability, and infrastructure innovation. Spearheaded by Westminster City Council, this large-scale redevelopment is turning a 1930s neighborhood into a vibrant, energy-efficient residential community. ULMA has contributed by providing trench drain systems to support effective stormwater management throughout the site.

Today, Ebury Bridge Estate features 100 new council homes, landscaped green areas, play zones, and pedestrian-first spaces. In these people-focused environments, efficient drainage is essential to prevent water accumulation, preserve infrastructure, and ensure long-term performance.
Trench Drain Solutions for Every Application
Understanding the specific needs of each section within the development, ULMA delivered targeted trench drain solutions that combine function, durability, and clean aesthetics:
-
Facade Perimeter
System: 335 linear feet of MultiV+ trench drains with stainless steel grates (C250 load class)
Why: Ideal for pedestrian areas with occasional vehicle access. These channels ensure reliable water flow, while stainless steel grates offer corrosion resistance and visual integration with the building exterior. -
Building Entrances
System: 59 linear feet of Civil SM200 trench drains with ductile iron grates (D400 load class)
Why: Designed to withstand heavier traffic from service and emergency vehicles, this heavy-duty trench drain system delivers strength and safety where it’s needed most. -
Access Roads
System: 85 linear feet of MultiV+ trench drains with ductile iron grates (D400)
Why: These channels provide reliable stormwater control in vehicular areas, handling heavy loads without compromising performance. -
Playground Area
System: 545 linear feet of MultiV+ trench drains with ductile iron grates (D400), adjusted on-site to accommodate curved design and rooftop runoff
Why: ULMA’s adaptable trench drain system allowed for precise installation within the playground’s layout while maintaining drainage efficiency and safety for children.
Building a Resilient Urban Environment
With ULMA’s trench drain systems in place, the Ebury Bridge project not only improves immediate functionality and safety, but also contributes to the long-term sustainability of the neighborhood. Effective water management is essential to building resilient cities—and this project shows how infrastructure and livability can go hand in hand.
