Can Stormcell® be used below roads or car-parking areas?
A. Yes, it can. The structure is extremely strong but is designed to take distributed loads and not point loads. The depth that the Stormcell® is buried at dictates the maximum load that can be applied to it at surface level. Q. What maintenance is required for a Stormcell® system? A. The system that the Stormcell® blocks are used within is carefully designed to minimise any maintenance requirements. It is a patented system and consequently cannot be copied by our competitors. Low flows are carried within small diameter perforated pipes running beneath the blocks. This keeps grits and silts moving within the pipes and remote from the Stormcell® blocks. In times of storm water egresses from the perforations which are positioned within the top of the pipes but this is relatively free from grits and silts. There are additional barriers to contamination of the blocks in the form of a layer of single size stone and a permeable membrane covering the tops and bottoms of the blocks. Ideally, a
