"In a future marked by increasing weather extremes — both heavy rains and droughts — JUMBO BLOCK® is essential for transforming roadways into multifunctional surfaces that act as large-scale water retention systems.
This system mitigates urban flooding and secures water for dry periods.
As climate change progresses, the need for effective water storage becomes more critical.
Delaying the implementation of such infrastructure only worsens the challenges ahead, making immediate action vital for sustainable urban resilience.”

JUMBO BLOCK® modules
By integrating JUMBO BLOCK® systems, you can enhance flood prevention, improve water resource management, and support sustainable infrastructure development.
Versatile, adaptable, and cost-effective JUMBO BLOCK® solutions.
Water Management Challenges:
Flexible rainwater retention, infiltration, and water storage:
Reducing the impacts of extreme weather and infrastructure longevity:
Environmentally friendly production:
JUMBO BLOCK® systems use one or more sedimentation units, depending on the size and application, to remove solids from stormwater.
The filtration unit employs multiple filter elements to remove contaminants such as organic compounds, heavy metals, mineral oil hydrocarbons, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
In a combined system, sedimentation and filtration are integrated into a single unit. The rainwater is cleaned in several stages: sedimentation, adsorption, filtration, and chemical precipitation. The number of units depends on the size and application of the JUMBO BLOCK® system.
Sealing the JUMBO BLOCK® modules externally, between the module blocks and the soil, is a proven method to prevent water from escaping or infiltrating. This is vital for reliable water storage and flood protection.
External sealing can be done using materials like geomembranes, bituminous membranes, or liquid membranes, and must be performed carefully to ensure effective protection.
For infiltration systems, external sealing is not needed.
It is recommended to involve certified professionals during planning to ensure the sealing meets specific project requirements and guarantees optimal functionality.
In a world increasingly threatened by extreme weather events, the innovative JUMBO BLOCK® System emerges as the ultimate solution. Watch how this groundbreaking technology transforms urban landscapes into resilient, water-secure environments.
