Hydro International, the market leader in water management products and services, unveils its expanded Stormbloc® Optimum range, incorporating a new lighter version of the popular stormwater storage system to give designers even more options.
Developed by our polymer specialist partners, REHAU, the new Stormbloc® provides a lightweight option alongside the heavy-duty Stormbloc® Extra to bolster the range and offer a complete, resilient geocellular storage system, providing underground storage and infiltration of surface water runoff to help prevent flooding as part of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). The new block represents a cost-effective option, particularly suitable for landscaped or light traffic areas.
Designed to be completely customisable, with the length, width and height all adaptable to meet even the most demanding of drainage designs, the new lightweight block saves time and cost at installation, stacking into compact nests for storage and transportation needs, enabling more storage volume in one place at any time.
Stormbloc® Inspect chambers and a row of Stormbloc® Extra blocks will allow access for inspection and maintenance. Integrating Hydro-Logic® Smart Maintenance remote monitoring technology into the system will provide automated alerts when the system needs cleaning or if a blockage occurs.
Ben Puddy, Product Manager for Hydro International, comments, “The expansion of the Stormbloc® Optimum range enables engineers to meet drainage objectives in a wider variety of areas and provides them with a more cost-effective option, without compromising on functionality and maintenance. We are certain this new offering will allow designers and specifiers the option to use Stormbloc® for green spaces or light trafficked areas.”
