Hydrocell soakaway crates are used in soakaways, stormwater retention, attenuation or infiltration applications. This soakaway crate has been designed for use in deep applications, subject to regular and heavy traffic loadings, e.g cars and HGV’s.
It offers usage in both landscaping and civil engineering applications. The crates are designed to be simply and easily stacked together to create a soakaway or an attenuation system when the normal drainage systems cannot cope with the volume of surface water, this water is diverted into the Hydrocell storage system and released slowly after the storm has passed avoiding localised flooding.
When creating a soakaway, these underground storage units are wrapped in a heavy-duty non-woven needle punched geotextile to allow water discharge to the subsurface, but prevent any soil or sand particles to go through.
