The Polystorm principles

The Polystorm range of modular cell systems are designed with a 95% void ratio to retain large volumes of water run-off. The Polystorm cells can be designed and built to a specific size to a total void volume requirement dependant upon the water run-off volumes required on a particular project (i.e. car park, road or building).

The Polystorm range of water storage cells are structurally strong, individual modular cells which can be built up to form a structure of any shape or size. The structure is wrapped in a non-permeable, geomembrane which can receive rainwater collected from the roof gutter system or surface drains and either releases the water within set discharge limits (attenuation) or, where soil conditions allow, be wrapped in a permeable geotextile and slowly release the water back into the surrounding soil (soakaway).

Three types of Polystorm cells

There are four different types of Polystorm cells which are Polystorm Lite, Polystorm, Polystorm Xtra and Polystorm-R. Each Polystorm cell type has a different surface load specification.

Polystorm Lite

Polystorm Lite has been specifically designed for non-trafficked applications. With a 20 tonne per square metre compressive strength it will however take general maintenance vehicles such as grass cutters. Polystorm Lite can be used for both attenuation and soakaway applications. The modular structure receives rainwater collected from roofs or surface drains ready to release within a set drainage limit. Polystorm Lite can be used typically for landscaped areas, pedestrian or public open spaces such as underneath playgrounds.

Polystorm Lite

Designed for use in trafficked and loaded applications with a load bearing capacity of:

40 tonnes

Technical Specification Overview
Unit Type Polystorm Lite
Product code PSM2
Dimensions 1m x 0.5m x 0.4m high
Total volume 0.2m per cube
Unit weight 7kgs
Cube storage volume 0.19m°3 (190 litres)
Surface area 55% perforated
Compressive strength Maximum 20 tonnes per sq metre
Maximum burial depth 2.5m

Polystorm

Polystorm features individual modular cells that can be built up to form a load-bearing tank structure of any shape or size to receive rainwater collected from the gutter system or surface drains ready to release within a set discharge limit. Polystorm has a 40 tonne per square metre compressive strength and is ideally suited for lightly trafficked and loaded applications. Polystorm can be used for both attenuation and soakaway applications and typically for housing developments, small car parks and light commercial developments.
