In urban areas, effective rainwater management is essential to prevent flooding and manage our water resources sustainably. Rockflow® stone wool offers versatile solutions for contemporary rainwater management. Discover how our systems can help with the storage, infiltration, delayed drainage, purifcation and reuse of rainwater.

Where are Rockflow solutions applied?
With Rockflow you solve water issues locally. We do this by making optimal use of the available space. Our underground water attenuation and infiltration systems can be found under cycle paths, roads, and even tram tracks or buildings. You can also find Rockflow in swales or near trees. And in plant beds, green facades or on green roofs. Rockflow solutions are therefore often used in new construction and renovation of buildings, road construction or sewer renovation projects.

Swales
A smart climate swale with stone wool can be installed shallower and therefore safer, retain water for planting, and buffer cloudbursts.

Often, the available underground space for stormwater storage in urban areas is very limited. Thanks to the high load-bearing capacity and flexibility of Rockflow, space for rain is also made under tram tracks.

In sewer renovation projects or new constructions, a Rockflow water storage and infiltration system replaces the rainwater sewer. Rainwater is no longer transported but is directly infiltrated locally. The Rockflow system is often installed as linear infiltration next to the foul water sewer under the road.

Trees
Natural infiltration of rain near urban green keeps the soil moist, which helps plants and trees flourish and reduces irrigation moments during dry periods.
Under squares and parkings
Under squares and parkings
With a central buffer under squares or parking lots, water from the surrounding area is led to a central location, collected and infiltrated or discharged into the sewer.
