System Overview
Product Overview
High-performance modular drainage systems engineered from 90% recycled content
Trough & Stacker System
Two-component system: Trough units (A or B) sit on the drainage ditch floor to channel water, while Stacker units placed on top filter water down into the trough below. Water then flows through the trough to connected catch pits.
| Flow Rate | 679.5 L/min per metre |
| Load Capacity | 506,000+ cycles tested |
| Storage Capacity | 45% void space |
Drainage Mats
Ultra-lightweight surface drainage solution for rapid deployment. Perfect for verges, embankments, sports fields, and distributed drainage applications.
| Permeability | 49 L/m²/s |
| Weight | 44 kg/m² (50mm) |
| Compressive Strength | 250 kPa |
