Whether you are looking for a more ef cient solution for drainage, water treatment, ground stabilization, retention/detention, or permeable paving, has a solution for you! HydroPlanks are a permanent solution superior to traditional drainage, stabilization, and green infrastructure systems for a wide range of industries. The product s high-void structure allows for a drainage capacity and structural stability greater than stone or pipe. Fast and easy to install. HydroFence is a more efficient alternative to silt or filter socks, boxes, and fences that provides erosion control while meeting the requirement to restrict silts from exiting a working site. Unlike traditional silt socks, HydroFence does not clog, is easier to install and is reusable, thus saving you time and money, and providing the assurance that you are complying with the latest guidelines for silt control. HydroFence is simple to handle and install, yet strong enough to capture debris and accompanying silt from stormwater. HydroBase is a superior subbase that replaces expensive aggregate and dirt substrate under highways, roads and railways. Easy to transport, handle and install, HydroBase promotes efficient road drainage, prevents cracking, and reduces costs associated with recurring maintenance and reclaiming. Due to its porous, highvoid composition, HydroBase material is proven to become stronger with added weight loading and can withstand heavy trafficking. When used as a sub-base beneath railways, rather than compacted dirt, HydroBase moves water away from the tracks to prevent pulsing. Features: Dimensions: 1m long x wide x 48mm thick Weight: 4.9Kg.

French Drain Capping A layer of Hydroblox positioned 100mm below the surface ground level prevents silt build up, stabilises the gravel to prevent rutting. soil 6" wide by 24" deep trench 1" washed gravel fill 4" diameter perforated drain pipe Roadside Drain Filter Cleaning due to silt build up: Lifting the fill, segregation and dry cleaning of the filter material and the return of the graded and cleaned material to the drain it came from. The drain is cleaned down to 600mm and a width of 600mm & disposes of 8-10 tons of spoil and accumulated silt for every 100m of drain. Car Parking Areas There can be thousands of tons of aggregate under any given parking area, HydroPlanks can replace the majority of that aggregate. A highvoid, high-strength and stable drainage product, HydroPlanks are 75% lighter than aggregate and can reduce construction costs associated with material handling and manpower. In parking areas, HydroPlanks are an ideal sub-base under emergency access greenways. Instead of the typical 200-300mm of aggregate placed under the soil and grass, it is quicker, easier, and more cost effective to install HydroPlanks. The product is durable enough to withstand emergency vehiclular traffic, while providing an effective means of parking area drainage for water that may otherwise run onto the asphalt. Additionally, grass can grow directly on top of the material, so there is no need for a geotextile layer beneath. Schools Keep facilities maintenance costs down and school grounds looking green using HydroPlanks for playground and field drainage. Whether installed beneath natural grass, concrete or multi-purpose surfaces, HydroPlanks are a viable, more efficient alternative to French drains that requires no upkeep or annual maintenance. Foundation Drainage provides a viable commercial construction storm water drainage solution for building foundations that is both easy to install, highly efficient and permanent. Simply affix HydroPlanks, side-by-side, next to the foundation, and place a perpendicular plank every 2.5-3m. HydroPlanks will now capture storm water that would typically run into the foundation, and direct the water away from the structure via the perpendicular planks without clogging. As a result, foundations are more stable and basements are kept dry. School grounds shown before drainage and after Residential Drainage HydroPlanks are a far superior replacement to traditional French drains in residential construction. Not only are they costeffective and easy to install, they have been proven both in the field and in laboratory not to clog over time. Traditional French drains incorporate aggregate, geotextiles, and perforated pipe which have been proven to fill up with silt in 2-7 years and require heavy equipment to dig large, 1.2m x 3m trenches. Minimally disruptive to the property, can be installed by digging a wide trench with a small piece of equipment. Hillside Drainage HydroPlanks have been proven in the field to successfully intercept ground water from hillsides and cut profiles, while preventing erosion along hillsides. Traditional systems of drainage for the oil and gas industry require massive amounts of aggregate, which are often transported down steep hills a cumbersome, time-consuming process. HydroPlanks facilitate the materials handling process. They are easily transported to the site in pallets and are simple to install by hand, either horizontally or vertically.
