AQUABOX SUSTAINABLE RESILIENT PROFITABLE 100% INSPECTABLE VERSATILE HIGH STORAGE VOLUME MODULAR RAINWATER MANAGEMENT GEOCELLULAR SYSTEM

CONCEPT Sustainable drainage systems made by Geoplast are an alternative to the traditional approach of collecting stormwater in pipes or gravel trenches and discharging it into treatment plants or watercourses. Drainage systems contribute to sustainable development and improve the places and spaces where we live and work by balancing the different opportunities and challenges that influence urban design and the development of communities. The rainwater flow management approach aims to protect local watercourses from contamination carried by surface runoff, encourage natural groundwater...

THE SOLUTION Aquabox is a modular underground retention unit made of polypropylene, designed for the sustainable management of rainwater. Built areas can suffer flooding due to lack of proper rainwater management. Aquabox is used for controlling a rainwater by creating infiltration, storage and retention basins or collection tanks to reuse water and turn it into a resource. The elements are assembled on site and joined by high-strength connectors that ensure the stability of the basin. Thanks to its high mechanical resistance, Aquabox can be installed both in urban areas and in...

Geoplast Building beyond together ADVANTAGES Each Aquabox module is formed by coupling two semi-modules. The system is composed of a series of modules joined by snap-lock clips and confined by lateral grids and upper closing covers: all these elements together create structural voids suitable for underground rainwater management. INSPECTABLE SOLUTION HIGH CAPACITY The internal configuration of the modules makes the system easily accessible for inspection, routine maintenance and cleaning. The cavities are designed to allow the entrance of a wheeled camera to make a video inspection of the...

THE CONCEPT HIGH VOID RATIO Aquabox is an alternative to gravel pits. The assembled module guarantees a void ratio that is 3 times greater than gravel. Due to its geometry, Aquabox stores a high volume of rainwater while significantly reducing the volume of excavation. CAPACITY Each assembled Aquabox element offers a water storage capacity of 432 litres (nominal 450 litres). Designers and clients prefer the Aquabox system over traditional systems (gravel and pipes) thanks to its very high void ratio (96%). The columns are completely permeable: water will pass through them, and therefore...

The replenishment of groundwater aquifers during heavy rainfalls is a crucial design point in stormwater management regulations. An Aquabox basin is a good solution for rainwater infiltration, promoting its management in situ and contributing to the restoration of the natural water cycle. The system stores incoming water and releases it gradually into the ground.The soil must have geotechnical characteristics of permeability such that it is able to receive the water stored in the Aquabox basin. Advantage: compared to traditional methods (gravel or pipes) the useful storage volume for equal...

Where the permeability of the soil is poor and such that water cannot penetrate into the soil, storage tanks must be built. The attenuation tank allows to attenuate the peak flow rates avoiding the overloading of the sewer and the receiving water bodies. After filling, the release takes place through a special drain pipe placed in the lowest layer of the basin and designed for gradual outflow rate, not exceding the maximum discharge rate allowed by the planning authorities. Advantage: less stress on the water infrastructure. It reduces the flood flow rates that depend on the capacity of the...

The rainwater running off from roofs or other surfaces and harvested for reuse is always channeled through a suitable pre-treatment stage before it can enter the storage tank. The water is conveyed into the Aquabox basin through one or more inlet pipes and is extracted when necessary with a pump housed in a suitably placed Aquabox Cube shaft. Advantage: lower water supply costs and lower municipal wastewater cherges. Inspection point Aquabox Cube Inlet pipe Pre-treatment unit Waterproof geomembrane

Aquabox is a modular element in plastic material used for the realization of underground basins for rainwater infiltration, detention and harvesting. The Aqualock mounting system makes it possible for each module to be pre-assembled by one person without the use of cranes or mechanical means. Finally, the modules are installed in-situ very quickly; in the case of multi-level basins the single and double connectors guarantee stability and solidity of the basin. Each Aquabox module is composed by two assembled semi-modules and is 80 cm high. SIDEWALL GRIDS Grids are used on the sides of the...

AQUABOX CUBE - INSPECTION Aquabox Cube is a modular hollow element in virgin or regenerated polypropylene, designed to make inspection shafts for the management of Aquabox underground basins. The modularity of the elements always allows the installation in all basins, even multi-layered ones. Four assembled Aquabox Cube elements measure 80 cm high, the equivalent of two assembled Aquabox elements. CUBE SIDEWALL GRIDS Grids are used on the sides of the trench. This allows a even distribution of side loads and the simple installation of geotextiles or waterproofing membranes. Moreover, being...
