Hydro publishes user manual and design guide for Stormbloc storm and surface water control

(01/06/2009)

Surface water infiltration devices based on modular block systems are rapidly becoming standard equipment for so-called ‘engineered’ SUDS solutions, and Hydro International’s Stormbloc® system is used across the UK in residential and highway storm/surface water control. Now Hydro has published an essential user manual and design guide for Stormbloc® which offers specifiers a complete best practice insight into the application of this system.

Despite the association of SUDS with ‘natural’ solutions, an engineered source control approach to SUDS such as Stormbloc® is often necessary, especially in urban environments where installation space is restricted, or where over-construction or landscaping require a load bearing solution.

The Hydro Stormbloc® Storage and Infiltration System User Manual takes the specifier through different installation practices, the design of infiltration structures, blankets and when used as a storage tank, including volume calculations and design detail considerations. Features of the Stormbloc® system are considered in detail, to demonstrate their benefits in applications, including the patented inspection / access tunnel through each system and the unique Stormbloc® Inspect modular access and inlet chamber.
