Soakage System - Case Study
Project Description
An established local builder purchased land to be developed into 14 housing lots in the heart of Matamata, Waikato - an area with ever-growing demand for residential housing. Installation of a stormwater management system was essential to accommodate the influx of stormwater runoff from the 14 homes. The design required two stormwater modular soakage systems on opposite ends of the site that needed to be able to handle trafficked conditions and have capacity for a total of 604m3 of water infiltration.
- Project Location: Matamata, Waikato, NEW ZEALAND
- Project Details: 604m3 of trafficable Atlantis Flo-Vault®
- Completion: Date March 2022
The Solution
Various stormwater catchment solutions were explored for the development. The Atlantis Flo-Vault® Modular System was chosen due to its quick installation and cost effectiveness.
The Atlantis Flo-Vault Modular System is designed to capture surface water through infiltration, and then clean and filter the water before it is allowed to recharge the water table, providing moisture for surrounding vegetation. The infiltration tank system is the ideal way to manage stormwater runoff in permeable or semi-permeable soil conditions.
Geofabrics worked alongside an industry partner, local council, the contractor and the designers to ensure that the Atlantis Flo-Vault® Modular System met all design elements for the project.
604 Atlantis Flo-Vault® cubes were installed in two days by a four person team. Each cube takes only approximately 30 seconds to construct, resulting in a system that takes 70% less time to assemble compared to other panel formed tanks - which can take up to 2-3 minutes. The site is now ready for the build of 14 homes and capable of handling the influx of stormwater runoff.
