HAURATON captures another crucial aspect of the rainwater management picture with new crate system, DRAINFIX BLOC HD

The DRAINFIX BLOC HD crate system marks HAURATON’s expansion into the area of retention and infiltration, offering a powerful combination of strength, speed and sustainability.

Strength: Exceptional functionality

DRAINFIX BLOC HD is designed for high load bearing capacity and durability. It offers a standard load capacity of 400 kN / m2, which is sufficient for most situations, whether pedestrian or trafficked. This is in combination with a 95.8% void ratio, which allows for a large storage capacity of 383.2 litres. It is also compatible with both permeable (infiltration) and sealed (attenuation) system design and is even suitable for installation in areas with a high water table, making it a versatile choice for the designer’s toolkit.

Speed: Optimised design and easy installation

DRAINFIX BLOC HD offers benefits to both specifiers and contractors with its unique dual-crate system. Components are optimised for their positioning within the attenuation provision: closed crates create an outer ring and instant boundary for a structure, which can then be infilled with open-sided crates. This intuitive design reduces installation time, confusion and opportunities for missed steps that can impact performance in use. It can also be expanded easily in all directions to meet increasing storage volume requirements.

Sustainability: Increasing the eco credentials of your projects

• 100% recycled polypropylene – DRAINFIX BLOC HD is produced from a variety of post-consumer polypropylene products. The crates are also PVC free and can be fully recycled following lifetime use
• Inner crates designed to nest and stack – providing a 75% increase in transport efficiency versus infilling with closed crates
• Manufactured in Britain – minimisation of carbon footprint

Towards a one-source solution for rainwater management

The release represents the company’s latest step towards offering a complete system solution for rainwater management. With the addition of DRAINFIX BLOC HD, engineers and contractors can cover a comprehensive range of competencies – from the drainage channels that HAURATON is traditionally known for, through to treatment of rainwater, as well as now the increasingly pertinent issue of retention and infiltration.

DRAINFIX BLOC HD expands HAURATON’s scope of focus for the second quarter of this century. For more information on this new release, visit: https://www.hauraton.com/en/products/infiltration/drainfix-bloc/
