Rainwater infiltration retains the natural cycle

In India local rainwater infiltration is often required by law. As more and more ground is sealed with buildings, car parks and roads, the sewer system is having to work harder and the risk of flooding increases. GRAF infiltration systems are here to help. They make sense both ecologically and economically because they take the strain off the sewer network and save surface water drainage charges.

Installation examples

EcoBloc Inspect flex

The third generation of GRAF infiltration and attenuation system

  • Universal use: For rainwater infiltration, retention or rainwater harvesting
  • Twice the volume per truck: To save space during transport, two EcoBloc Inspect flex modules are stacked one inside the other. This halves transport costs and CO2 emissions.
  • Easy to inspect: The standard inspection channel allows the entire infiltration system to be effectively monitored. The ability of the EcoBloc Inspect system allow access by inspection cameras that are commonly found on the market. This has been confirmed, by several independent testing authorities.
  • Can be cleanded by high pressure jetting: GRAF EcoBloc Inspect system can be easily
    cleaned by high pressure jetting.
  • Highly flexible: Each EcoBloc Inspect flex module has a volume of 205 l, a area of 800
    x 800 mm and a height of 320 mm. The system size and loadbearing can be adjusted individually to suit requirements of traffic and of non-traffic area.
  • Installation depth of up to 5 metres: Even under very heavy loads, GRAF EcoBloc Inspect system can be installed at a depth of up to 5 metres. This means that up to 14 layers are possible.
  • Connection up to DN 200: Large infiltration volumes require large pipe cross-sections. This isn‘t a problem for GRAF EcoBloc Inspect: it has DN 110, 160 and 200 connections on all sides. DN 100 connections are positioned eccentrically
    at the side for complete deaeration.
  • Designed for decades of use: A durable product design ensures sustainability.
    Built to offer double safety, the GRAF EcoBloc Inspect is designed for a service
    life of over 50 years.
  • High infiltration rate: The GRAF EcoBloc Inspect system is designed to have high rate of infiltration and barrierfree inspection.
  1. Stackable
    To save space during transport, the EcoBloc flex modules are stacked into each other. This minimizes transport costs, storage space in stock and CO2 emissions.
  2. Easy to install
    The modules are fitted simply, at speed and in various ways. They can be installed without heavy machinery – one EcoBloc Inspect flex module weighs just 8kg (17.6lbs)
  3. Lorry-bearing up to 60tons
    The EcoBloc Inspect flex has a heavy-duty lorry-bearing capacity of 60 tons with an 800mm (2' 7.5") earth covering

EcoBloc maxx

Various applications: Rainwater infiltration, Stormwater attenuation, Rainwater harvesting

  • High storage volume
    GRAF infiltration modules have three times the storage volume of a standard gravel infiltration ditch. One module therefore takes the place of around 1300 kg (1,4 tons) of gravel or a 50 m (164') drainage pipe. Since you don‘t have to excavate so much soil and enjoy great value for money compared with a standard gravel infiltration ditch, the GRAF modules save you hard-earned cash!
  • Service life of over 50 years
    A durable product design ensures sustainability. The GRAF EcoBloc system and the Vario 800 flex shaft system is designed for a service life of over 50 years.
  • Easy to install
    The modules are fitted simply, at speed and in various ways. They can be installed without heavy machinery – one EcoBloc maxx module weighs just 9 kg (19.8 lbs).
  • Up to 96 % reservoir volume
    The GRAF EcoBloc maxx has a gross volume of 225 litres (59.4 US gal.) and a reservoir volume of 217 litres (57.3 US gal.). The EcoBloc variant maxx still offer a reservoir coefficient of 96 % despite their high load-bearing capacity.
  • Installation depth of up to 5 metres (16' 4.8")
    Even under very heavy loads, GRAF EcoBloc maxx modules can be installed at a depth of up to 5 metres (16' 4.8"). This means that up to 13 layers are possible. Please consult GRAF when the installation depth is greater than 5 metres.
  1. Stackable
    To save space during transport, the EcoBloc maxx modules are stacked into each other. This minimizes transport costs, storage space in stock and CO2 emissions.
     
  2. Easy installation
    The EcoBloc base plate forms the foundations of each EcoBloc system. Up to 13 EcoBloc modules can be fitted on one base plate.
     
  3. Ready
    The side faces are sealed with EcoBloc end plates. The EcoBloc system can be adapted to match individual requirements.

EcoBloc light

Various applications: Rainwater infiltration, Stormwater attenuation, Rainwater harvesting

  • High storage volume
    GRAF infiltration modules have three times the storage volume of a standard gravel infiltration ditch. One module therefore takes the place of around 1300 kg (1,4 tons) of gravel or a 50 m (164') drainage pipe. Since you don‘t have to excavate so much soil and enjoy great value for money compared with a standard gravel infiltration ditch, the GRAF modules save you hard-earned cash!
