SUDS Stormwater Management

Aquavoid picture Aluline AQUAVOID is a stormwater storage unit which has been designed for rapid assembly of an underground structure as part of a Storm-water Management System. Developed specifically to meet the needs of sustainable urban drainage systems, Aluline AQUAVOID allows storm-water runoff to be stored temporarily and then released either through infiltration into the sub-strata or released as part of an attenuation scheme designed to reduce the impact of flow on adjacent sewer systems.

The Product

Aluline AQUAVOID is an extremely strong polypropylene water permeable modular unit with a volume of one third of a cubic metre (1m x 1m plan by 1/3m height) which, through the use of interconnecting clips, enables rapid construction of both large and small storage capacities whilst retaining the flexibility required by many schemes. Constructed of wine box style interconnecting panels together with integral pipes Aluline AQUAVOID is capable of withstanding very high loadings making it the ideal choice for retaining storm-water for SUDS applications.

Aquavoid pictureAluline AQUAVOID is available in three main configurations: Aluline AQUAVOID STANDARD, with a very high load bearing capability from 600kN/m2, designed to meet most requirements; Aluline AQUAVOID LITE, with a lower load bearing capability of 200kN/m2, designed for domestic & developer use; Aluline AQUAVOID BESPOKE, designed to specific requirements for extra heavy duty use.

Applications

Aluline AQUAVOID is ideal for bulk storage of storm-water in both attenuation and infiltration schemes. Buried at least 0.5m below the surface the extreme traffic loading capability makes it ideal for amenity areas and even under car parks and HGV areas.

The Advantages of Aluline AQUAVOID:

  • Assembled ready to install with up to 80 m3 on a full load
  • Available in different configurations to meet specific requirements
  • Very high load bearing capability capable of withstanding HGV traffic
  • Simple and fast to install with 3 units per m3
  • Modular size of 1m x 1m plan x 1/3m height ensures great versatility in both size and shape of storage
  • Small modular height (1/3m) allows use with high water tables
  • Standard connectivity with both 110 or 160 mm connections
  • Lightweight units of under 20kg obviates need for mechanical handling
