Geocellular Tanks
Geocellular Tanks are modern underground stormwater management systems designed to store, attenuate, infiltrate, or reuse surface water in urban and infrastructure developments. Flomax Pump Trading L.L.C supplies engineered geocellular tank systems that provide high storage capacity, structural strength, and long-term reliability while optimizing land use.
As urban areas continue to expand and surface water runoff increases, geocellular tanks have become a preferred solution for managing stormwater efficiently without consuming valuable above-ground space.
A geocellular tank system is a modular underground structure composed of high-strength plastic cells arranged to form a void space for water storage. These systems can achieve up to 95% void ratio, allowing large volumes of water to be stored within a compact footprint.
Geocellular tanks are installed below ground and connected to surface drainage networks, capturing stormwater runoff and controlling its release, infiltration, or reuse depending on project requirements.
Geocellular tanks supplied by Flomax are designed to perform multiple stormwater management functions, including:
These functions support compliance with modern stormwater regulations and sustainable development goals.
Flomax geocellular tank systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
Their underground installation allows surface areas to remain usable for landscaping, parking, or pedestrian use.
Flomax geocellular tanks are supplied as modular systems, enabling flexible design and easy scalability.
Modules can be stacked and arranged to suit site constraints, storage volume requirements, and load conditions.
Geocellular tanks supplied by Flomax are engineered to withstand significant vertical and lateral loads. When installed correctly and surrounded by appropriate backfill, these systems can support:
This high load-bearing capacity makes geocellular tanks suitable for installation beneath trafficked and developed areas.
One of the major advantages of geocellular tanks is their exceptional storage efficiency. With a high void ratio, the system maximizes water storage while minimizing excavation volume.
Hydraulic performance benefits include:
These characteristics help protect drainage networks from overload during heavy rainfall events.
Geocellular tanks play a key role in sustainable water management strategies. Stored stormwater can be reused for applications such as:
By enabling water reuse, geocellular tanks reduce demand on potable water supplies and support environmental sustainability objectives.
When designed for infiltration, geocellular tanks allow stormwater to percolate gradually into the surrounding soil, replenishing groundwater and reducing surface runoff.
This controlled infiltration:
Flomax systems can be configured to suit infiltration, detention, or retention requirements based on site conditions.
Geocellular tanks offer significant advantages in terms of installation and space utilization. Their lightweight modular design allows for:
This efficiency reduces construction time and overall project costs.
Flomax geocellular tank systems are designed with inspection and maintenance access points, allowing periodic inspection, cleaning, and sediment removal where required.
Proper access ensures:
All geocellular tank systems supplied by Flomax are selected to comply with international engineering standards and local authority stormwater requirements. Materials used are resistant to chemicals, biological growth, and long-term environmental exposure.
This compliance ensures acceptance by consultants, authorities, and regulatory bodies.
Flomax geocellular tanks integrate seamlessly with broader stormwater management infrastructure, including:
This integration supports comprehensive and effective surface water control strategies.
Flomax geocellular tanks provide a reliable, future-ready solution for modern stormwater challenges.
Effective stormwater management is essential for protecting infrastructure and communities. Flomax geocellular tank systems are engineered for durability, hydraulic efficiency, and adaptability, ensuring reliable performance over extended service life.
By selecting Flomax geocellular tanks, projects benefit from efficient land use, sustainable water management, and reduced long-term operational risk.
