Many regional authorities in Italy have introduced the principle of hydraulic invariance at regulatory level, which means in general that any change to the land, such as the creation of a housing development or a shopping centre, must not be accompanied by an increase in flows of rainwater deriving from drainage of the newly developed area. Accordingly, there is a need to adopt measures in constructions that will mitigate the impact of new building developments on the hydraulic regime of the land area.
Modules of the ECOBLOC range or INFILTRATION TUNNEL elements can provide a valid alternative to more traditional solutions, typically concrete tanks or perforated pipes. Modular design ensures that these products fit easily into the spaces that are available, and even in situations where heavy road traffic is envisaged, thanks to their high certified mechanical strength; in addition, lightweight construction and ease of installation give these systems a highly competitive edge in terms in terms of being swift and safe to put in place.
