Road Drainage Benefits
Road Safety
- Saves Lives
Dangerous open water channels are eliminated.
Environment
- Flood Reduction
Stormwater runoff is immediately infiltrated into the ground reducing the burden on existing infrastructure and urban flooding.
- Reduced Erosion
Reduces erosion by infiltrating water at the source.
- Water Re-use/Harvesting
Water is purified, stored and recycled on site.
- Improve Urban Health Conditions
The Atlantis system is located underground, eliminating stagnant ponds that host mosquitoes infestations and open drains that house vermin and vectors. All gross pollutants are kept out of the system, dissolved pollutants are treated within the system resulting in clean healthy water released into the environment.
Economical
- Increase Land Use
The Atlantis system is sub surface providing more land space for recreational areas.
- Save Time & Labour
The Atlantis system is cheaper and faster to install than traditional concrete based methods.
- Maintenance Free Channel
All gross pollutants and sediment are prefiltered ensuring that Atlantis channels are maintenance free.
- Increases Road Lifetime
Effectively relieves hydrostatic pressure preventing potholes and maintaining optimum road conditions.
Engineering
- High Compressive Strength
Supports heavy loads up to over 130 t/m2 (for Atlantis™ 52mm Drainage Cell) and over 24 t/m2 (for Atlantis™ tank modules).
- Structural Design
Ensures structural integrity of road and supports shear loads.
