JUMBO BLOCK® concrete blocks, high storage capacity for water management

A Modular Solution for Water Retention and Flood Protection

The JUMBO BLOCK® system is a robust, future-proof solution designed to tackle the growing challenges of extreme weather and urban water management. Its unique modular design enables seamless integration into various environments, from urban infrastructure to industrial zones.

At the heart of the system are six essential components, each playing a crucial role in delivering optimal water retention, exceptional load capacity, and environmental protection.

Working in perfect harmony, these components empower the JUMBO BLOCK® system to provide a groundbreaking combination of load capacity, flood protection, and water storage. This innovative system is built to withstand the demands of modern infrastructure, supporting the heaviest loads — from road traffic to airport tarmacs — while promoting sustainability and climate resilience.

This future-proof solution is designed to meet the demands of today's changing world, offering a comprehensive approach to flood prevention, load-bearing infrastructure, and sustainable water management.

1️⃣ JUMBO BLOCK®
The core of the system – a massive, hollow, load-bearing concrete module (2.5 m x 2.5 m x 2.5 m) with an impressive capacity to support up to 792 tonnes. This block is designed for underground installation, forming the backbone of a modular and scalable retention system.

2️⃣ Sedimentation and Filtration Inside the Block
The built-in filtration system captures sediments and impurities within the JUMBO BLOCK® itself. This design prevents clogging and extends the lifespan of the system, while maintaining a continuous water flow.

3️⃣ Heavy-Duty Cover Plate
The cover plate provides an ultra-strong, load-bearing surface above the JUMBO BLOCK®. It enables heavy-duty applications like roads, airport runways, and industrial sites, while ensuring surface stability and protecting the system below.

4️⃣ Side Plate
Side plates are installed to enclose the JUMBO BLOCK® modules on the sides, preventing lateral water movement and ensuring system integrity. They help stabilize the overall structure and protect against shifting forces.

5️⃣ Base Plate
The base plate provides a stable foundation for each JUMBO BLOCK®, distributing the weight evenly and creating a secure, level base. This feature is essential for ensuring structural stability and longevity.

6️⃣ Sealing System (Geofoil or Landfill Foil)
A high-performance sealing system using either geofoil or landfill foil ensures a watertight enclosure. This prevents the infiltration or leakage of water, protecting the structural integrity of the block and allowing for optimal water retention.

• Modular Design: The system consists of prefabricated concrete blocks that easily connect, allowing for quick and flexible installation. The modularity also makes it scalable to meet local storage needs.

• High Storage Capacity: Each block offers 13.9 m³ of storage, enabling significant water retention with fewer components.

• Robust Construction: The concrete blocks are highly durable and resistant to environmental stresses, ensuring long-term reliability.

• Flexibility and Adaptability: The system can be configured to suit different topographical conditions, shapes, sizes, and heights, making optimal use of available space.

• Sustainability: The system uses recycled or sustainable materials, CO2-reduced green concretes, and recyclable molds, ensuring efficient production and long-lasting quality.

• Easy Maintenance: The robust design requires minimal maintenance, with occasional inspections and cleaning keeping the system in optimal condition.

Overall, the JUMBO BLOCK® system offers an efficient, flexible, and sustainable solution for water storage.
