MODULAR SYSTEM FOR THE CREATION OF ACCUMULATION AND DRAINING BASINS drainpanel the innovative solution for water management • HIGH DRAINING CAPACITY • RESISTANT • STACKABLE

Every day in Europe we cement 250 acres of land. The consequences are obvious for everyone: disastrous floods, prolonged droughts and violent rainstorms. Water is vital to humans, but if we do not respect Nature, it may turn into a source of grave danger. WATER AND MAN, THE QUEST FOR A NECESSARY BALANCE: THIS IS OUR TASK Not only we transform our ideas into innovative and succesful products, but also we study and select the right materials to guarantee high quality and respect of the environment. Polypropylene (PP) is a recyclable material that can be obtained from the regeneration of plastic...

THE SOLUTION DRAINPANEL is a modular element in regenerated PP designed for the creation of underground stormwater management basins. DRAINPANEL contributes to the recharge of groundwater acquifers and can be used to create either a retention or an infiltration basin in order to subsequently reuse the water. When we use the system for infiltration, it has to be wrapped with the geo-textile, because it allows the drainage of the water in the ground. When, by contrast, the water needs to be held in the basin, the use of a waterproof geomembrane is recommended. The installation of the elements is...

High resistance modular system for the creation of high capacity draining or retention basins light Weighing less than 10 kg, DRAINPANEL can be handled manually without using any lifting device. The low weight and simple method of installation make the creation of the basin easy and quick DRAINPANEL elements stacked on a pallet, fit into each other: the result is a greater water storage volume per pallet than other equivalent water storage methods.. strong The structure and the material of DRAINPANEL ensure a high mechanical strength and the system can be installed under heavy trafficked areas....

OPERATION MODE Depending on the type of geo-textile used, the structure of DRAINPANEL is ideal for the dispersion of water in the ground and also for the lamination or accumulation of water. DISPERSION GEO-TEXTILE The geo-textile layer allows a correct water flowing and helps the water penetration into the ground. The waterproof membrane is covered by a geo-textile on the sides in order to retain the water in the structure. DRAINPANEL VS GRAVEL DRAINPANEL is an alternative to gravel systems, when creating trenches or rainwater draining areas. The structure of the panel guarantees a regular void...

DRAINPANEL innovative design permits the easy stacking of the elements (the ones in the same direction) and the reduction of the space used for the storage and transport of the materials. It is also possible to create larger water retention volumes by stacking the elements in layers, oriented alternatively by 90 degrees. TRANSPORT COMPARISON BETWEEN GRAVEL AND DRAINPANEL A truck can transport aproximately 25 pallets of DRAINPANEL (footprint of approx. 80 cbm.). The 25 pallets allow the installation of a basin with a capacity of 450 cbm. and considering that a truck that generally transports inerts...

Excellent drainage with reduced footprint DRAINPANEL is the ideal solution for the creation of basins or draining trenches that developes in a large depth. The solid and strong structure gives an high load-bearing capability to the product so that it can be placed also under heavy trafficked areas. DRAINPANEL large voids are ideal to reduce the excavation volume which is larger with the traditional gravel systems. DRAINPANEL SYSTEM ROAD PAVEMENTS High volume of voids Excellent filtration High load-bearing capability SUPPLYING AND INSPECTION WELL EXISTING GROUND www.geoplast.it

ACCUMULATION & LAMINATION Excellent regulation of the flow rates DRAINPANEL should be coated with a waterproof geomembrane in order to create rainwater accumulation chambers that allow the subsequent reuse of the water. The product’s conformation allows to stack the elements in many different layers, guaranteeing at the same time, an high resistance to applied loads. Moreover, thanks to DRAINPANEL high capability it is possible to store an high quantity of water in a limited place.
