New Inspection Access Chamber Adds Further Dimension to Hydro's Stormbloc® Stormwater Storage

The new Stormbloc® Inspect adds further dimensions of usability to Hydro International’s highly versatile Stormbloc® modular stormwater infiltration and storage system, and offers application and cost advantages to engineers and contractors. By introducing a variable height inspection and access chamber in the same Stormbloc® module format, Hydro has provided integrated inlet, inspection, maintenance and access as part of the system, without additional costs for manholes and installation. The Stormbloc® Inspect unit also makes it easier for stormwater attenuation and infiltration systems to meet invert requirements no matter where they are sited. The Stormbloc® Inspect comprises modular stackable inlet, outlet and access points to meet the height of the Stormbloc® installation. The additional extension shaft enables direct access to the chamber and the storage/infiltration modules. Pipes can be connected at low, intermediate or high levels in four different directions, with the versatility of a 360˚ connection via the extension shaft. Connection between multiple storage units is facilitated, for example in matching phased site developments. Cut-outs in the Stormbloc® Inspect shaft can be used for ventilation of the Stormbloc® infiltration installation, in conjunction with a standard ventilated manhole cover. Additionally, the 500 mm internal diameter shaft minimises any requirement for separate manhole chambers, thus reducing installation and capital costs. The Stormbloc® Inspect module also adds to the system’s storage capacity, and can be integrated with all Stormbloc® installations. If you would like any further information on the Stormbloc® Inspect or any of Hydro International’s stormwater, wastewater and sewage treatment systems, please call 0800 269371.
