  • Permavoid Innovative Drainage Systems

    Innovative Sustainable Drainage Products and Solutions

    Permavoid is a multi-functional stormwater management system engineered to create functional and appealing site drainage which treats stormwater as a resource, rather than a waste product.

    Modular units with a 95% void ratio and ultra-shallow profile form a monolithic stormwater control structure that reduces the impact of urban development. Our designs and sustainable drainage products cultivate the natural movement of water within the local ecosystem and watershed. The high-strength polypropylene raft is also ideal for subbase, deep conveyance pipe, and water detention replacement. Eliminating traditional conveyance structures reduces the costs associated with deep excavations, backfill materials, and potential subgrade conflicts including bedrock, contaminated ground, buried utilities, and high water tables.

  • PolyDrain Shallow

    Economical Polymer Concrete Channels

    When performance matters on your project, our PolyDrain® Shallow drainage channels offer a practical and economical drainage solution. The initial cost of plastic and fiberglass trench drain may look attractive; however, the different thermal expansion coefficients between dissimilar materials and surrounding concrete repeatedly introduce extreme thermal stresses. These stresses can lead to fracture or deformation of the drainage channels. Most fiberglass and plastic materials are also extremely susceptible to UV degradation.

    Under serviceable design loads and proper installation, polymer concrete can often outlast the life of the concrete slab. This superior quality makes our shallow depth drainage channels top of the line.

  • VectorDrain®

    Economical Slot Drain

    VectorDrain® is an ADA compliant slot drain channel with a narrow profile and clean lines. The polymer concrete inlet will also withstand harsh environments that often destroy plastic systems. VectorDrain® is a smart and cost-effective solution for a wide variety of drainage situations and capable of handling the heaviest pedestrian traffic.

    The polymer concrete top also bonds with most concrete surface coatings and will create an unmatched, virtually invisible, finished appearance. Thus, VectorDrain® is the ideal slot drain for patios, pool decks, running tracks, sidewalks, and pavilions.

  • Interceptor® A-67

    Quintessential Highway Drainage System

    We developed Interceptor® in collaboration with numerous state departments of transportation to address the common and long-standing challenges of roadway drainage. Interceptor® A-67 limits excessive spread and dangerous hydroplaning conditions where standing water, sheet flow, and inlet bypass problems exist. Our Interceptor® drain systems include advanced integral frames and grates, which can withstand high-speed highway traffic and snowplow blades. Equally important, common trench obstructions are cleared through the grates with conventional high-pressure wash equipment and trucks.

    The performance and technical design of the Interceptor® A-67 highway drainage system has set the standard for Transportation Departments in North America.

  • PolyDrain FirstFlush®

    Stormwater Filtration for Urban Runoff

    The "first flush effect" refers to the initial surface runoff during a rainstorm and the resulting surge of concentrated water pollution. Corresponding high sheet flows wash the pollutants through storm sewers to local surface waters. Our engineers created a Best Management Practice (BMP) to counter the negative effects of urban runoff.

    Any filtration system will collect debris, capture hydrocarbons, and should reduce pollutants. Our solution also manages the significant overland flow during initial runoff events. We prioritize the treatment of a first flush event by allowing prolonged rainfall to bypass the treatment media. This bypass minimizes pulsing and prevents concentrated pollutants from the "first flush effect" from continuing on to downstream waterways.

    FirstFlush® is the perfect sustainable drainage solution to meet this critical stormwater filtration challenge.
