Modular Geocellular Tanks for Stormwater Attenuation & Infiltration

High-strength, lightweight underground modules for soakaways, detention tanks, and OSD systems. Easy installation for roads, parking lots, and landscaping projects worldwide.

Key Advantages

High-strength geocellular tanks—also widely known as soakaway crates or stormwater modules—engineered for superior load-bearing capacity and underground stability.

High structural strength

Traffic-capable designs for installation beneath roadways, parking lots, loading areas, and landscaped zones.

Cost-efficient install

~95% void ratio reduces excavation, backfill, and export — smaller footprints, fewer truckloads.

Fast build, modular

Lightweight interlocking cells accelerate installs; typical reservoirs assembled at ≈1,000 m³ per week.

Hydraulic performance

Open-lattice flow paths deliver high permeability and low head loss across the tank — for uniform distribution and rapid drain-down.

Flexible, modular format

Configurable to site grades, utilities, and irregular shapes; works with permeable pavements and shallow cover.

Flood mitigation

On-site storage attenuates peak flows, protecting downstream pipes, basins, and critical assets.

Reuse-ready

Integrates with filtration/UV to supply irrigation and non-potable graywater uses.

Sustainable & durable

Recycled/virgin PP; engineered for long service life and end-of-use recyclability.

Product Detail Gallery

Engineered details for long service life: PP copolymer, high-void lattice, reinforced ribs to limit creep, and secure interlocks for stable assemblies.

Geocellular Tanks Applications

Underground stormwater attenuation tanks installed beneath commercial parking lot for runoff control

Under Parking Lots

Install modular tanks beneath parking lots / car parks to attenuate peak flows. Use lined detention with orifice/vortex control, or wrapped infiltration where soils allow.

Heavy-duty modular soakaway crates under roadway for highway drainage and traffic loading

Roads & Streets

Place below carriageways or verges to intercept highway runoff and reduce downstream surcharge. Traffic-capable with appropriate cover design.

Reinforced geocellular detention system for industrial logistics yards and HGV loading areas

Industrial & Logistics Yards

Heavy-duty storage for loading bays and logistics yards. Specify enhanced cover/strength class for HGV/tractor-trailer traffic; lined detention recommended.

Compact residential soakaway crates for garden and driveway rainwater infiltration

Residential Soakaways

Compact geocellular soakaway crates for plots — wrapped in geotextile to infiltrate roof/drive runoff and relieve nuisance flooding.

Shallow geocellular drainage modules under urban plaza paving for SuDS management

Urban Plazas

Shallow-cover storage under plazas and podium decks for SuDS/LID. Attenuates runoff from hardscapes and protects combined sewers.

Subsurface stormwater retention system installed under sports field for flood prevention

Sports Fields

Install under pitches or sidelines to capture cloudburst events. Choose detention or infiltration integrated with turf drainage layers.

Large scale underground water attenuation tank for university campus stormwater harvesting

Campuses & Healthcare

Concealed storage beneath access roads and parking for schools, universities and hospitals; reuse options for irrigation and other non-potable needs.

Modular stormwater crates under transit hub and park-and-ride facility for heavy loads

Transit & Park‑and‑Ride

Large-area systems under transit hubs / park-and-ride to cap discharge rates to legacy drainage. Supports phased build-out and inspection access.

Installation Depth Guidance

Cover depth varies with loading and ground conditions; the ranges below are indicative and must be verified by design.

Landscaped / Green Areas

Typical cover: 0.30 – 0.50 m
Use separation geotextiles; provide granular bedding/haunching per specification.

Car Parks & Light/Medium Duty

Typical cover: 0.50 – 0.80 m
Pavement build‑up per traffic class; consider shallow attenuation tank reinforcement where required.

Car Parks & Light/Medium Duty

Typical cover: 0.80 – 1.50 m+
Full structural design required, considering CBR, groundwater, settlement and frost.
