JUMBO BLOCK ®

JUMBO BLOCK® Components

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.

A System of strength

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
The sealing systems for JUMBO BLOCK® provide durable, waterproof solutions for module connections. Using high-performance adhesives and sealants, they securely seal joints and connections, preventing water loss and optimizing retention efficiency. Their flexible, durable materials ensure long-term functionality under varying conditions.

Sedimentation and Filtration by AQUATO®

Sedimentation

JUMBO BLOCK® systems use one or more sedimentation units, depending on the size and application, to remove solids from stormwater.

Filtration

The filtration unit employs multiple filter elements to remove contaminants such as organic compounds, heavy metals, mineral oil hydrocarbons, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Combined Sedimentation and Filtration System

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 by SABA

Sedimentation and Filtration by AQUATO®

The sealing systems for JUMBO BLOCK® offer reliable, waterproof, and long-lasting solutions for module connections. Our high-performance adhesives and sealants, specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of rainwater management. They ensure a secure and durable seal for joints and connections, preventing water loss and optimizing the efficiency of retention systems. With a combination of flexible and highly durable materials, these sealing solutions guarantee long-term functionality, even under varying environmental and load conditions.

Exception

For infiltration systems, external sealing is not needed.

Planning

It is recommended to involve certified professionals during planning to ensure the sealing meets specific project requirements and guarantees optimal functionality.

Load Class F 900

Load Class F 900 is one of the highest load-bearing classes for covers, gratings, and manhole covers used in civil engineering. It signifies the ability to withstand extremely high traffic loads of up to 900 kN (equivalent to approximately 90 tons)..

What does 900 kN mean?

The abbreviation kN stands for kilonewton, the unit of force. A newton is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second. For Load Class F 900, this means the cover can withstand a vertical compressive force of 900,000 newtons, which is equivalent to a load from vehicles of up to 90 tons.

Areas of Application for Load Class F 900

Due to their extreme load capacity, components in Load Class F 900 are only used in areas with very high wheel loads. These include, but are not limited to:

Airports: Runways, taxiways, and aprons
Ports: Container terminals and transshipment areas
Industrial zones: Surfaces with heavy-duty traffic
Motorways: Sections frequented by very heavy trucks

These components are designed for areas where normal traffic loads (like those on city streets) are far exceeded. For standard road traffic, a lower load class, such as D 400, is usually sufficient.

JUMBO BLOCK® - Designed for Extreme Loads

The unique design of our patented JUMBO BLOCK® modules allows them to achieve this high load capacity. Thanks to their hollow, cube-like construction and robust, load-bearing columns, combined with our patented, high-strength concrete mixture, they are inherently equipped to handle extreme forces. This makes the JUMBO BLOCK® a reliable and efficient solution for the most demanding projects.
