Hydro Stormbloc puts the SUDS into park and ride
Stormbloc infiltration modules from Hydro International were chosen to ensure that stormwater runoff from Norwich car park complies with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) principles.
Detail drawings illustrate typical installations, connections and pipework, with typical installations for different sizes of infiltration requirement, from commercial and industrial (eg.
park and ride car parks) to schools and housing developments.
The new Stormbloc rain and stormwater infiltration medium from Hydro International has been introduced to complement the well-known Stormcell Stormwater Storage System.
Stormbloc is a cost-effective modular infiltration block system, and is thus ideal for infiltration schemes and SUDS projects offering the easy handling and installation benefits of a modular system.
Stormbloc is available in eco-green polypropylene 800 X 800 X 663 mm blocks providing high volume water storage with a 96% void ratio.
The system is designed so that, when installed, a 222 X 570 mm cross-section access tunnel runs through the blocks.
This can be accessed easily by a CCTV or a high pressure jetting hose inserted to shift any accumulated sediment, silt or debris in the system, should the need arise - a feature which sets it apart from its competitors.
