Installation

Installation is very simple and quick with minimal disruption.
Blocks are pre-wrapped with filter membrane, so the excavation needs to be only as large as the system (no access is required to fit the membrane).

No specialist installation engineering or equipment is needed, with
simple snap-together fittings which require no special skills or tools.
Hydrorock Blocks are used in a single layer, on a 100 mm layer of sand. This increases the surface area of the bottom of the system.
The Hydrorock Blocks are normally installed in a module three blocks wide. This allows for the system to self-vent, and if by human error the filters are compromised, the whole system can be flushed.
Hydrorock BD blocks have integrated perforated pipes allowing rapid inflow and storage water in each block underground.
Additional capacity can be rapidly and easily achieved by the addition of further Hydrorock BD blocks or Hydrorock B blocks (pre-wrapped but without integrated pipes)
The system can be placed around existing infrastructure, such as pipes and cables unlike crated sumps. This flexibility allows for optimisation of the site.
Placing the system on a 100mm layer of sand will permit infiltration from the module into the surrounding soil and facilitate the discharge of water from the Hydrorock Aquifer Blocks.
