Modular Geocellular Drainage Tanks

[Paul1002]

Hi there.

Does anyone have any experience of working on, either theoretically or actually, modular cellular plastic drainage tanks? I would be interested in hearing your opinions positive or negative. In the UK they are used for storage and infiltration.

I guess I can draw my own conclusions 10 weeks later

I missed this before.

I've done a bunch of hydrologic models on infiltration stormwater management systems. From a modeling standpoint, they're all basically the same. Not sure what your question is.

The cheap ones from the local hardware store invariably collapse.

As a chem eng/metallurgist the first part of any answer I give starts with "It Depends"

I think you would be better off using HDPE Pipe instead. It may be a little more expensive than these modular units, but they would last longer.
