Geocellular systems are versatile solutions for managing rainwater runoff, functioning as either RETENTION-INFILTRATION units or ATTENUATION units in standalone setups or within a Sustainable Urban Drainage Scheme (SuDS). Within SuDS, these systems are cost-effective, quick to deploy, and environmentally friendly, offering a smaller footprint with higher water collection and storage capacity than traditional systems. With a 50-year lifespan (Reference: Maximizing the Lifespan of Plastic Geocellular Drainage System) and reduced labor and machinery needs, they are a practical and popular choice for urban flood mitigation. Their rapid hydraulic intake and increased floodwater retention help reduce flooding and ponding in public spaces, giving municipal engineers additional time to drain excess water into the national system within capacity limits.

We at HYDROEX™ have developed a way to innovate traditional rainwater harvesting and make the system more effective. In line with CIRIA guidelines and other International Standards, as well as the principles of SuDS, we have developed a stormwater management solution that supports retention, infiltration, and rainwater harvesting.
The objective of the HYDROEX™ Storm Water Management Solution is to maintain or replicate the pre-development water cycle through design techniques that create a functionally equivalent hydrological landscape. When urban development occurs, the natural water cycle is altered to the extent that stormwater runoff from individual properties and roads intensifies, flows usually increase, and potential contaminants from residential and commercial activity and associated vehicle use flow into the streams and watercourses. Traditionally, stormwater generated from urban areas is conveyed efficiently to designed trunk drainage systems to reduce stormwater ponding and flooding risk.
The versatility of our technology has made this system suitable across a variety of projects such as schools, parks, hospitals, roads, bus depots, metros, ports, playground you name it, we've done it. By combining retention, infiltration, and rainwater harvesting practices, communities can mitigate the impacts of floods, alleviate water scarcity and drought, and promote sustainable water use while minimizing the strain on traditional water sources.
