Description
A flexible rain garden system that supports the four pillars of SuDS (water quality, water quantity, amenity, and biodiversity).
The system is simple and easy to retrofit into highway schemes and is suitable for new developments of any size. The HydroPlanter Flex cuts the complexity and unknowns out of design and installation.
Varieties include full impermeable lined, or permeable for projects where infiltration is acceptable.
Features and benefits:
- Comprehensive package of components in a single system.
- Impermeable liner, drainage stone, bioretention soil and pipework included.
- Exceedance chamber for overflow and inspection/ maintenance.
- Cuts complexity in specification, design and installation.
- Low maintenance.
- Reduces flood risk.
- Highly effective at attenuating peak flow surface water runoff.
- Nature-based water cleansing.
- Delivers improved amenity values.
- Enhanced biodiversity with green infrastructure.
Components:
- Liner system (infiltration or non-infiltration options).
- Drainage aggregates.
- Filtration membranes.
- Drainage pipe system.
- ASH-MAX bioretention soil.
- Exceedance flow system.
- Stone mulch layer.
