Wavin Plastics - AquaCell Lite proving a sustainable asset
Wavin Plastics’ sustainable urban drainage
system AquaCell Lite is making a big impact on residential,
commercial and industrial developments throughout the UK.
Less than 12 months after being launched the LABC (Local
Authority Building Control) approved innovation, designed to
manage excessive rainfall and reduce the risk of flooding, is
supporting a number of key projects across the country including
RAF Cosford, the Parsonage development in Devon and a new homes
estate in Coventry.
Regarded for its versatility and simple installation process,
AquaCell Lite is specifically designed for non-trafficked
applications such as parks, playing fields and domestic gardens.
AquaCell Lite is a polypropylene module which can be clipped
together in single layers then pegged into multiple layers,
water is released at a controlled rate in a number of ways
including soakaways into the ground, public sewer systems or
watercourses. The complete structure is wrapped in either a
geo-textile for a soakaway or geo-membrane outer covering to
make it watertight for storage.
Michelle Fleming, head of marketing at Wavin Plastics, the UK’s
leading supplier of water management solutions, said:
“Sustainable urban drainage systems like AquaCell Lite help
developers to effectively store stormwater and then channel it
to where it is needed most.”
“The installation of this system under landscaped areas is a
more sustainable form of construction for the environment. With
each unit weighing just seven kilograms, AquaCell Lite offers
site managers a safe and easy to install system that stores up
to 190 litres of water.”
