Oldbury’s M5 has the country’s biggest drainage system

The new technology will aid in enhancing the rainwater’s quality when it enters the canal after falling on the M5 motorway.

Prior to the water being released into the water course, the £7 million system will aid in collecting debris and impurities.

Colin Jackson, the project manager for the National Highways:

This new drainage system is a real boost to the local canal network that runs underneath the M5 Oldbury viaduct.

We know that the local habitat is a crucial part of the landscape at Oldbury and we’re confident this new system will play a significant role in helping biodiversity.

The drainage has a special filter installed inside the pipework which is designed to capture debris and pollutants before entering the water network which can then simply be removed by specialists at regular intervals.

The new system is made up of 10 filters and was placed below the road without impeding traffic utilizing the M5 or local road network.

It took roughly eight months to put in place with personnel using sophisticated equipment to dig down between the foundations beneath the M5 to install the new system.
