Stormwater Soakaway Drainage

Where the soil cannot absorb all of the stormwater at once, especially in urban areas, stormwater infiltration systems are necessary to prevent flooding and keep roads, houses and other infrastructure safe. Raineo Stormbox Systems allow slow and controlled infiltration so that the soil type can cope with the process.  This helps replenish aquifers, control sinking ground water levels and enhance the natural ability of the soil to drain water. This is especially advantageous in arid regions with little rainfall.

The Pipelife Stormbox is the heart of our Raineo stormwater management solutions. It is a light but stable plastic block, that can be used for retaining water. Many stormboxes can easily be stacked to create a big reservoir for water. Depending on the application, the stormboxes are wrapped in either foil for storing water or geotextiles for slowly infiltrating water into the soil. The stormboxes are installed very fast and can be easily connected to pipes, cleaning tanks, manholes or inspection chambers. This way a powerful yet simple stormwater management system can be built in very short time.

There are two types of stormboxes:

• Stormbox I: The economic solution for smaller projects. Boxes are connected special with clips.
• Stormbox II: The stronger and more elaborate solution for bigger projects can withstand higher weights and is connected with a push-fit system.
