Drainage Cells and Void Tanks

High strength drainage cells and void tanks deliver a strong and highly effective sub-surface drainage system. Drainage squares are ideal for roof top gardens and planter boxes on buildings and can be used to form tanks for underground storm water infiltration or storage. Lightweight drainage cells and void tanks avoid the need to use heavy aggregate for drainage. Their high compressive loading allows for more flexible structures in buildings.

30mm Drainage Cell

Drainage cells are made from high strength recycled polypropylene which is inert to soil borne chemicals and bacteria. They provide a uniform surface and a void space to drain excess water. The unique design and void space helps maintain a consistent temperature on the wall surface. This reduces heat induced cracking in concrete and overcomes traditional problems associated with leakage of roof top gardens.

Drain cells are environmentally friendly and easy to install.

Void Tanks

Drainage tank modules are an ideal for any subsurface drainage system that involves infiltration, retention or detention. Manufactured using recycled polymers, void tanks offer an efficient and effective sub-surface alternative to conventional methods for stormwater management. Drainage tank modules are ideal for constructing infiltration tanks, re-use tanks and sub surface channels. They are perfect for lightweight void spaces on rooftop gardens and planter boxes.

Drainage cells joined to form a void tank

Drainage tank modules can be wrapped with a nonwoven filter fabric and used as a soakaway system for rainwater from roofs, parking areas, driveways, playgrounds and sports areas. Temporarily stored stormwater can be discharged into the surrounding soil system or recycled for irrigation.

Applications
  • Attenuation tanks
  • Sports fields
  • Storm water drainage
  • Soakaway tanks
