Attenuation and Soakaway Solutions

Polystorm geocellular solution system is designed for both attenuation and soakaway applications for the control and management of surface water. There are four cells within the range for light to heavy loaded areas with a load bearing capability between 20-80 tonnes per metre square:

• Polystorm,
• Polystorm-R
• Polystorm Lite
• Polystorm Xtra

For access and maintenance purposes, complementing the range are Polystorm Access and Polystorm Inspect. For shallower applications the Permavoid geocellular system is designed to provide ground water attenuation or infiltration in place of a traditional sub-base in areas with contaminated land or a high water table.

Permavoid podium deck is a lightweight modular solution for the provision of storm water drainage and water harvesting within a deck construction.
