While hexagonal Stormwater Modules are renowned for structural and hydraulic benefits, certain projects demand rectangular shapes. Rectangular Geocellular systems, Drainage Cells, and attenuation module tanks effortlessly address specific project requirements without sacrificing any advantages associated with innovative stormwater solutions.
Advantages of Rectangular Stormwater Modules
1. Seamless Alignment with Standard Layouts
Rectangular Stormwater Modules integrate perfectly with conventional excavation layouts, significantly simplifying planning and reducing installation times. Ideal for urban infrastructure and commercial projects, their compatibility ensures precise implementation and cost efficiency.
2. Easy, Rapid, and Efficient Installation
Featuring patented, tool-free interlocking joints, rectangular modules ensure quick installation. Project data shows that installation rates regularly exceed 1,000 square meters per person per day, drastically reducing labor requirements and project timelines.
3. Optimal Space Utilization
Rectangular modules maximize available excavation space, improving storage capacity by approximately 10-15% compared to non-rectangular shapes. This precise fit reduces wasted space, providing significant practical and economic advantages.
4. Proven Structural Integrity
Rectangular Stormwater Modules retain structural capabilities comparable to hexagonal counterparts, reliably handling vertical loads up to 130 tons per square meter and lateral loads up to 40 tons per square meter. Their robust structure ensures durability under heavy traffic and landscaped areas.
5. Superior Hydraulic Performance
Rectangular Geocellular systems maintain the exceptional hydraulic characteristics of their hexagonal counterparts, with void ratios exceeding 95%. This ensures fast, efficient stormwater infiltration and effective flood mitigation.
6. Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective
Using approximately 20% less material than traditional stormwater systems, rectangular modules enhance environmental sustainability and reduce overall project costs, presenting a compelling economic and ecological advantage.
Common Misconceptions Addressed
Switching from hexagonal to rectangular modules does not compromise structural or hydraulic performance. Rectangular Stormwater Modules are engineered to match the strength and efficiency standards of hexagonal designs, verified by rigorous testing and successful global applications.
