Built to Last: A REAL SOLUTION for the Challenges of Climate
The JUMBO BLOCK® system provides innovative solutions to regulate the water balance in urban spaces, addressing both drying out and flooding in communal areas.
Key Points:
Creation of Retention Areas
The concrete block system allows for the development of retention areas beneath urban infrastructure, including roads, car parks, meeting places, and parks.
Adaptability and Flexibility
The JUMBO BLOCK® system is designed to be both stable and flexible, allowing it to adapt to local conditions and requirements. It creates effective retention and storage solutions that can be built over and driven on (in compliance with SLW 60), making it versatile for various applications.
Sustainability and Reusability
The JUMBO BLOCK® system is fully recyclable and reusable, offering long-term environmental and cost benefits. Its ease of dismantling and recycling makes it a sustainable choice for urban water management.
Long-Term Rainwater Retention
These retention areas store rainwater effectively, reducing the strain on drainage systems and mitigating the risk of surface runoff and flash flooding.
Integration with Infrastructure
The JUMBO BLOCK® system integrates seamlessly with existing city infrastructure, particularly in managing wastewater and supply lines. It allows for easy installation, maintenance, and extension of these systems, ensuring efficient drainage and a complete separation of rainwater and wastewater.
Water Storage for a Resilient Future
Incorporating the JUMBO BLOCK® system helps cities become more resilient to droughts and heavy rainfall. It enhances infrastructure, reduces the ecological footprint, and supports the development of a water-resilient, livable future.
Water Level Sensors and IoT Applications
With integrated water level sensors and IoT applications, the JUMBO BLOCK® system provides real-time monitoring and control of water levels. This ensures precise management, optimization, and early detection of potential issues.
Municipal Adaptation
Adaptation is essential as our world continues to change. The JUMBO BLOCK® system puts us "in front of the situation," offering advanced and sustainable solutions for water management in urban areas. It regulates water balance, prevents flooding, and optimizes resource use, making it the right choice for cities looking to adapt and thrive.
JUMBO BLOCK® Solution
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.
