FlowBlock™ and FlowBlock Lite™ are modular water storage cells with a high void ratio and are ideal for creating underground storage tanks or soakaways.
Easy to handle and environmentally friendly, the FlowBlock™ System provides you with these superior properties:
- Non-blocking free-flowing structure.
- High strength.
- 95% void ratio.
- Lightweight.
- Cost effective.
- Simple, straightforward installation.
- Interconnecting units for greater stability.
Performance
Manufactured from polypropylene, FlowBlock™ units are strong and robust with high compressive strength and are specifically designed for use in trafficked areas including heavy-duty applications. FlowBlock Lite™ is ideal for landscaped or non trafficked locations.
The FlowBlock™ system is used to retain surface water runoff below ground, and release it at a pre-determined rate or facilitate the infiltration of surface water into the ground
FlowBlock™ units are lightweight and easily assembled on site by stacking and linking together using the shear connectors provided. Large modular tanks can be created and the units can be easily configured to suit different sites.
The whole assembly is then wrapped in either a geotextile or a geomembrane, depending on the application, and connected to the drainage system.
Quality Assurance
The Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency are increasingly promoting the use of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in new developments in order to reduce flood risk and reduce pollution.
The FlowBlock™ system supports the achievement of SUDS, and can reinforce planning applications where this is a particular consideration. Already a major component in many SUDS, the FlowBlock™ system has the added advantage of BBA certification to give you the reassurance of long-lasting and effective performance.
