Stormcell Stormwater Storage System

Stormcell^® is a proven cost effective approach to alleviating flood and stormwater run off and providing an engineered solution to the challenges of SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems).

What is Stormcell®?

Stormcell® is a high void ratio plastic matrix
produced in blocks of 2.4m x 1.2m in plan and between 120 and 520mm in depth.

The matrix is made up of vertically aligned polypropylene hexagonal tubes which
gives it exceptional ability to withstand vertical loads with very high crushing strength (40 tonnes/m2) and high creep resistance. Stormcell® blocks have a void ratio of 95% which gives it up to 3 or 4 times the storage capacity of granular material.

Applications

• Large area storage - used with WTB Geotechnics permeable hard or soft
  landscape paving systems stormwater can percolate directly into the storage facility, thus eliminating the need for stormwater drainage. Stormcell® can also be used in place of tanks, culverts or oversize pipes for storage.
• Large capacity storage - extremely large storage volumes can be rapidly provided using Stormcell®. The depth and plan can be varied to suit site conditions.
• Storage tanks - on new developments the use of small storage tanks for each property can provide significant benefits. Rainwater can be reused for lawn watering or car washing.
