Geocellular storage systems require different amounts of components per tank module. Large modules with less components can be rapidly deployed – and installation is streamlined. In comparison, small module sizes with high amounts of components require more handling and result in longer installation timelines and greater complexity of assembly. Components per cubic metre of storage […]
The number of modules per cubic metre of storage varies across different geocellular tank systems, and module size is a key influential factor. Modules per cubic metre of storage impacts installation efficiency – with larger modules requiring less lifts, maneuvering, and assembly for equivalent volumes of storage. For common geocellular systems, the reported number of

AtlanChannel is manufactured from a patented polymer mix that incorporates renewable resources, including recycled glass and street sweepings. These act as a bonded filler to enhance strength and durability. Polymer channel drains are lighter than concrete alternatives, while maintaining rigid structure and compressive strength, which ensures they can support heavy loads and the rigors of

AtlanChannel is a locally manufactured polymer concrete drainage solution that offers a high-strength alternative to Portland cement channel products. Benefits of polymer-based materials include significant weight advantages and ease of manual handling. This maximises efficiency during lifting, freight, and installation, while still retaining robust structural strength and compressive strength. The patented polymer composition of AtlanChannel
Drainage channels with anti-shunt capabilities incorporate design features to prevent the movement of grates due to longitudinal forces, which can push, impact, and dislodge grates. These forces are most prevalent in trafficable and high-use installations that experience repeated or heavy loads. This movement, commonly known as ‘shunting’, is prevented by robust design features that ensure

This year’s Plastic Free July asks us all to be part of the ‘Plastic Pollution Solution’ and reduce our reliance on single-use plastics. Each year, Plastic Free July draws 100+ million global participants from 190 countries – and asks communities to reduce their plastic footprint. In Australia, we use over 1 million tonnes of single-use

Void ratio is the efficiency of total storage volume compared to the gross volume per module. Different geocellular systems have void ratios that are influenced by their design specifications – such as module configuration, requirements for internal walls, and module size. These factors all influence void ratio, and void ratios for different systems can be

As stormwater flows over impervious surfaces in our urban catchments, it conveys a variety of pollutants. Stormwater harvesting programs allow us to remove these pollutants, utilise stormwater runoff as a sustainable water supply, and protect our waterways. Common stormwater pollutants include gross pollution, microplastics, heavy metals, nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorus), garden chemicals, pet

Drinking water guidelines typically require higher water quality than most reuse applications – such as gardening, irrigation, toilet flushing and vehicle wash bays. Advanced filtration, disinfection and water quality monitoring are costlier processes that facilitate may facilitate the use of stormwater as a potable water source. These processes provide specialised treatment modalities to counteract stormwater

On the eastern edge of Parramatta, Wentworth Point’s development plan is transforming the area’s existing industrial areas into a thriving and highly liveable waterfront neighbourhood. An essential part of this development, Hill Road is a master planned residential site which will see 300 units look over the iconic Parramatta River. Part of a four-stage plan,

In Australia and New Zealand, weather cycles such as La Nina and El Nino result in weather cycles that oscillate between dry and wet weather periods. This can lead to extreme weather events and rainfall patterns – with flooding during periods of heavy rainfall and droughts during prolonged periods of dry weather. Combinations of stormwater
Stormwater harvesting is a supplementary water source and adaptive management strategy to help reserve water for future use. This infrastructure offers significant benefits in times of water shortage as it provides an alternative water source to the water network – reducing strain on public water supplies. While stormwater harvesting won’t eliminate water shortage or prolonged
