FAQ
How much water can one soakaway hold or detain?
Each module has a very high void ratio, over 95%, which allows it to store a large volume of rainwater compared to gravel, making it efficient for stormwater detention.
What are typical size options for Geo-cellular soakaway modules?
Our soakaway modules come in modular block sizes that can be stacked or arranged to fit project needs. Their flexible design makes it easy to build any capacity required on-site.
Can these soakaway boxes support heavy traffic or vehicles?
Yes, the high-strength polypropylene structure is engineered to handle heavy loads, so it can be installed under driveways, parking areas, and light traffic zones.
Are Geo-cellular soakaways better than gravel pits for urban landscaping?
Yes, they offer higher water storage in less space, are faster to install, and avoid the bulk and weight of gravel, making them ideal for tight urban projects.
Do the soakaway modules need maintenance after installation?
Once installed with the right filtration layers, they require little to no maintenance because the system is designed to stay clean and free flowing.
Can soakaway boxes be used for rooftop drainage or planter areas?
Yes, their lightweight, modular design makes them suitable for rooftop and podium applications where efficient drainage and reduced loads are important.
What’s the lifespan of a polypropylene soakaway box system?
The high-strength polypropylene mix offers long service life, often lasting decades when installed with correct filtration and backfilling.
Are these soakaway boxes suitable for heavy rainfall typical in GCC storms?
Yes, their large void capacity and modular design allow them to manage sudden stormwater surges, making them well suited for GCC climate conditions.
