The Benefits of Buried Infiltration Tanks
Buried infiltration tanks avoid saturation of the sewer networks
Buried Infiltration tanks can be located below roads, parking lots, service stations, logistic platforms or other landscaped areas. In urban and suburban areas, the land value is very high and thus opting for a buried system is a real advantage for owners.
Buried infiltration tanks aim at storing temporarily the runoff water below the ground. Runoff water arrives through inlets and pipes connected to the other stormwater conveyances. If there are heavy rainfalls, the overflow goes to an adjacent drainage system like the municipal storm sewer. Municipalities may face the saturation of the networks, building buried infiltration tanks is one of the best stormwater management practice.
The added value of aquatextiles
Why use our TenCate GeoClean® aquatextile in buried Infiltration tanks?
- High oil retention capacity over the whole infiltration surface covered by the aquatextile, bottom and sides
- Direct infiltration of oil depolluted water
- Economical water treatment solution
- Ease of installation
Installing TenCate GeoClean® aquatextile
Installing TenCate GeoClean® aquatextile in the buried infiltration tank is a time and cost-efficient solution to secure the water depollution
