Our green solution with bioretention and biofiltration
Vegetated median
Green Infrastructure
Combining the retention and filtration properties of vegetation combined with our HDPE solutions, This design example acts directly at the source to prevent the spread of pollutants throughout the sewer system in addition to regulating the flow of water.
Our design of two-height sumps to avoid overflows, flow regulators and perforated rigid pipe is ideal for a Vegetated median.
Characterized by a simple and fast installation, this concept offers the best structural resistance in addition to avoiding the risk of clogging thanks to the domed grids. Its easy flow and maintenance make it an economical and sustainable solution for high-traffic road applications such as boulevards.

Corrugated HDPE Catch Basin
An overflow catch basin that safely conveys excess stormwater to the storm sewer system when the capacity of the bioretention system is exceeded.
Manufactured from HDPE, it provides outstanding resistance to road salts, chemicals, abrasion and freeze-thaw cycles, while its anti-clogging grate ensures reliable stormwater collection during major rainfall events.
Treatment Catch Basin With Domed Grid
A treatment catch basin that captures stormwater runoff while providing primary pretreatment by retaining floating debris and promoting sediment settling before stormwater enters downstream Green Infrastructure systems.
Its anti-clogging domed grate and submerged outlet improve hydraulic performance while protecting downstream bioretention and stormwater management practices.
Vortex flow regulator
A vortex flow regulator that controls stormwater discharge rates, maximizing detention and treatment time within Green Infrastructure systems before releasing runoff to the storm sewer system.
Available for flow rates ranging from 0.2 to 300 L/s, it optimizes the hydraulic performance of Green Infrastructure while protecting downstream stormwater infrastructure.
Perforated Dual Wall Pipe – Solflo Max
A perforated dual-wall HDPE pipe that collects filtered stormwater and conveys it through the Green Infrastructure system, helping maintain efficient drainage and long-term hydraulic performance.
Its high-strength dual-wall construction provides excellent structural performance, while the smooth interior wall promotes efficient flow and simplifies maintenance.
Separation geotextile
A geotextile that separates adjacent material layers to prevent contamination and preserve the drainage performance of stormwater management systems.
Helps maintain long-term hydraulic performance and extends the service life of Green Infrastructure by minimizing clogging and material migration.

Commercial Parking
Combining the properties of vegetation and our HDPE solutions, this example of development acts directly at the source to prevent the spread of pollutants throughout the storm sewer system in addition to regulating water flow. It also includes a reinforcement under the grassy area to accommodate additional parking spaces temporarily.
With permeable cladding, rainwater treatment at the source, and a retention chamber, it is the most modern example of development for commercial parking lots.
Commercial Street
Combining the properties of vegetation and our biofiltration system, this example of development represents a high-performance solution for the treatment of suspended solids and the efficient abstraction of water to the storm water system contributing to the quality control of runoff in urban areas.
Our example of a layout that includes biofiltration, cell basin, capture box, and smooth interior pipe is ideal for a commercial street.
Allowing retention, reuse, and infiltration, our concept is the most effective for the sound management of surface water. Its small footprint, ease of maintenance, and resistance are properties that perfectly match it with commercial areas with traffic.
Roundabout
Using vegetation retention and filtration properties, this example of development represents a high-performance solution for suspended solids treatment, retention, reuse, and infiltration for sound surface water management.
Our example of development including a biofiltration system, linear gutters, and perforated drain is ideal for urban development with converging lanes.
Efficient water abstraction and drainage to the storm water system contribute to the quality control of runoff in urban areas. In addition, the system promotes plant feeding and infiltration into the water table.
Characterized by a small footprint, lightness, and performance, it is the most popular concept for areas with converging tracks.
Multifunctional Paths
Combining retention and vegetation filtration properties with our under-pavement products, this example of development is suitable for all urban development projects of multifunctional paths combining active transport and pedestrian.
Our example of a layout including rigid driving and a capture box is ideal for a multifunctional path. Its cast-iron entrance for the passage of water allows flow and facilitates maintenance.
