10 cubic metres/10,000 litres of aqua void metrocell AQUAVOID is a structural polypropylene water-permeable box with a large storage capacity. Its high strength and versatility of its modular design makes SCS AQUAVOID an ideal choice where rainwater, collected from roofs or roads needs to be slowly infiltrated into the soil or where discharge attenuation is required. Offering dramatic savings against traditional ring soakaways this system is increasingly popular with developers and specifiers as part of their response to both PPG3 and PPG25.
The new SCS Aquavoid storage tank has been designed specifically to meet the needs of sustainable construction as advocated by the UK Government and provides the means for rainwater, collected from roofs and pavements, to be infiltrated into the soil. Through infiltration of relatively clean water directly into the soil the sewage system is relieved of additional loads and drying out of the sub-surface can be prevented. Aquavoid is an extremely strong modular water-permeable polypropylene unit with a large storage capacity. With each unit capable of holding almost one third of a cubic metre Aquavoid is ideal for the rapid construction of large storage capacities whilst retaining the flexibility required by many schemes. Installed units are capable of withstanding very high loadings making it the ideal choice for retaining stormwater for SUDS applications.
The construction of the storage void is achieved by the use of the SCS Aquavoid, a geocellular high-quality synthetic rectangular box with dimensions 1.0m x 1.0m x 0.333 m (LxWxH) with a storage capacity of 0.333 cubic metres (95% void ratio). The standard loading capacity of 600 kN/m2 is sufficient for most situations; however this capacity can be increased if required to suit exceptional loading conditions.

SCS Aquavoid is ideal for bulk storage of stormwater in both attenuation and infiltration schemes. Buried 0.5m below the surface connections of any diameter can be made to the system. Ideal in amenity areas and even under car parks and HGV areas, the new SCS Aquavoid is able to take extreme traffic loading. SCS Aquavoid is suitable for landscaped and car park areas as well as heavier duty use. As a guide units require approx 0.5m of cover in landscaped areas and 0.75m cover in vehicular areas with a 75mm sharp sand base.
