Stormbloc showcased at StormCon 2009
Company to Display Solutions That Address Growing Stormwater Markets
At World’s Largest Stormwater Pollution Prevention Conference Aug. 16-20 Hydro International, a leading provider of environmentally sustainable products and innovative solutions that control and treat stormwater, wastewater and combined sewer overflows, will showcase a pair of strategic solutions that meet the needs of the growing LID and LEED markets at the eighth annual StormCon conference. StormCon, the world’s largest stormwater pollution prevention conference, will be held Aug. 16-20, 2009, at the Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, Calif. Hydro International recently introduced Stormbloc™, a below-ground, stormwater detention, infiltration and harvesting system, to the U.S. market. Stormbloc offers a wide variety of benefits for engineers, municipalities and contractors looking for better Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater management options or seeking the US Green Building Council’s LEED® certification. The Reg-U-Flo Vortex Valve is a self-activating vortex flow control device that provides superior hydraulic performance over conventional flow regulators. It is a versatile device that serves a number of applications, including stormwater detention, “blue roofs”, downspout disconnection schemes and flood dams and reservoirs. Hydro will display working models of the two solutions at its StormCon booth (#603) in the exhibit hall. A chance to preview Stormbloc before the exhibition opens has been arranged.  Hydro will be hosting a “Blocktail” drinks reception with both display and working Stormbloc™ models on Monday, August 17 at the Anaheim Marriott (Platinum Ballroom) from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.,. The reception also will feature videos about Stormbloc installation and maintenance.  “Engineers’ and developers’ need for tools that control stormwater control in an efficient, cost-effective, environmentally sustainable way is bigger than ever in today’s economic climate,” said Lisa Glennon, Stormwater Products Manager for Hydro’s Stormwater Business Unit. “Stormbloc meets those needs. We can’t wait to show professionals at StormCon how Stormbloc works and how it complements other green solutions”  Hydro’s flow-control devices are used to prevent upstream and downstream flooding at more than 17,000 installations worldwide.  A flood defense scheme in Glasgow, Scotland features 5 Reg-U-Flo® Vortex Valve units for outlet controls to 3 dams and will protect 1,750 homes and businesses.  These units range from 5.6 ft to 6.2 ft in outlet diameter, making them over 16 ft high at the largest ends.  In contrast units for individual developments can be as small as 2 inches in outlet diameter.  In addition to exhibiting at StormCon, Hydro International is sponsoring the keynote coffee service on Tuesday, Aug. 18, and Director of Innovation Robert Andoh is presenting a paper on stormwater treatment issues.
