Case story

Open-air infiltration basin for roads

France, Caves (11)

Context :  Development work on 4 lots in Caves (France, Occitania,11) business park, and taking into account a possible future redevelopment .
Challenge: 

Challenge : At present, the current road width is half of the final roadway, i.e. 2.5 ml, and has no sidewalks. The soil is favourable to infiltration with hydraulic conductivities between 10-4  and 10-5 m/s, which allows stormwater management at the plot level. Two open-air infiltration basins have been designed to collect the volume of run-off water from the entire future 10-metre wide roadway. Currently, the surfaces drained to the basins are limited to half the width of the road, i.e. 2.5 metres.

Water pollution control solution :  TenCate GeoClean® Azur active oil-biodegrading aquatextile.

Function : Fixation of hydrocarbons and PAHs, then activation of their natural biodegradation.
