General Introduction
Development of sites results in a large
proportion of area being covered by
impermeable surfaces such as roofs, car
parks and roads. Surface water run-off
therefore increases up to 80%. Regulators
(Environment Agency, Scottish Environment
Protection Agency and local authorities) are
promoting the use of Sustainable Drainage
Systems (SUDS) that control run-off to that
of a greenfield site (around 20%).

General introduction ■
Stormwater Management Systems
Wavin Stormwater Management Systems
have been developed to provide a method
of source control in two ways:
By providing temporary storage for
excess flows and limiting outflow to
streams and rivers.
By providing soakaways to infiltrate
stormwater back into the ground.
The modular nature of Wavin Stormwater
TECHNICAL FAX
01249 766653
Management Systems means that they
can be tailored to suit the specific
requirements of each site. They can be
used to provide temporary storage,
attenuation and infiltration capacity for run-
off for all sizes and types of site: from
individual houses up to the largest
commercial developments.
The AquaCell® Systems:
The AquaCell systems are a fully tried and
tested modular technique for managing
excessive rainfall by creating an
underground structure as either a
temporary storage tank or a soakaway:
AquaCell (blue unit)
for trafficked locations
AquaCell Lite (green unit)
for landscaped and non-trafficked sites
Box systems –
select with care
Rising rainfall levels, and increased
focus on SUDS compliance, have led
to a sharp increase in the use of modular
box systems to create underground
structures for infiltration or temporary
storage of stormwater.
However, not all currently available
systems have the proven performance
characteristics necessary for the wide
range of complex underground
geocellular applications (see page 11).
With OSMA AquaCell systems,
however, the required strength and
hydraulic capabilities have been verified
by independent testing.

The AquaCell® Principle

OSMA AquaCell Stormwater
Management System
Comprises individual infiltration modules
assembled together to form underground
structures which can either be used for
stormwater storage or as an alternative to
domestic soakaways.
Heavy storms and major cloudbursts are
becoming more frequent, resulting in ever
increasing volumes of stormwater flowing
into conventional drainage systems and
water courses. When the capacities of these
systems are exceeded the consequences
can be dramatic and damaging.
Stormwater must be controlled; either by
limiting the outflow and providing
temporary storage or where the ground
conditions are suitable, providing
soakaways for the stormwater to infiltrate
back into the surrounding ground.
This has the added benefit of recharging
the local groundwater.

Both options can be achieved using either

OSMA AquaCell or OSMA AquaCell Lite
depending on the application.

General Introduction ■
The AquaCell® Principle 5

Overview of AquaCell® Systems
Both OSMA AquaCell and AquaCell Lite
units are modular in shape (1.0m x 0.5m
x 0.4m), have a 95% void and a capacity
of 190 litres per unit. The lightweight,
polypropylene units are easy to handle
and install. Original AquaCell (blue unit)
weigh 9kg each and AquaCell Lite (green
unit) weigh 7kg each. Individual units are
securely linked together using special
clips and shear connectors and can be
assembled quickly on site into whatever
configuration suits each specific location.
AquaCell geocellular systems also allow
‘brick-bonding’, which can give extra
stability, without the need for additional
connector pieces.
Wrapped for infiltration
or storage
The complete assembly is wrapped in
either geotextile or a geomembrane
(wrapped with a protective fleece).
For pervious soils, the geotextile allows
infiltration of stormwater into the
How they work
Stormwater exceeding the capacity of the
conventional drainage system is
attenuated by the control manhole and
channelled into the AquaCell unit
assembly. The internal structure of each
unit is designed to bring surging water
under control and hold it in temporary
storage. If the wrap that envelopes the unit
assembly is impermeable the water will
remain in the unit assembly until such a
time as it can flow back into the control
chamber and discharge through the
outflow control. However if the wrap is
permeable, the temporarily stored water
may be released into the surrounding
ground; soil conditions permitting. By
controlling the stormwater at source and
recharging the local groundwater it not
only eases the pressure on conventional
drainage systems but benefits the local
environment as well.

impervious (e.g. clay) or where infiltration
is not desirable, the geomembrane
encapsulated assembly holds stormwater
in temporary storage until local drainage
flows can accept it for normal disposal.

AquaCell systems contribute the
following benefits:
Significantly reduced flooding risk

The proven qualities and performance of
the AquaCell system not only support the
achievement of SUDS, they can also help
reinforce and enhance planning

Geocellular structures:
important design
considerations (see Note*)
To guarantee structural integrity, any
underground structure must be strong
enough to support the loads to which
it will be subjected without any
unacceptable deflection.
The correct choice of geocellular box
must have appropriate proven top
(vertical) and side (lateral) load bearing
capacity and deflection characteristics
to suit site conditions.
The five key site considerations to be
noted when designing a geocellular box
system are:
1 Depth of cover (see page 10)
2 Soil type
3 Surface finishing
4 Presence of groundwater
5 Type of traffic/loading
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Product & Installation Guide 2005

*Note: The combination of these factors effectively
means that the required characteristics of a geocellular
system to be installed under a trafficked location
(for example) will be very different from that under
a landscaped/low-loaded location.
EXAMPLE A: Car park with occasional lorry traffic and
0.6m cover depth. Typically requires minimum vertical
strength of 40 tonnes/m2
EXAMPLE B: Landscaped/non-trafficked location and
0.3m cover depth. Typically requires minimum vertical
strength of 17.5 tonnes/m2
These factors have already been taken into
consideration within the simple selection flow chart
on page 10 for BOTH AquaCell systems.

AquaCell Lite: additional
installation guidance
Due to the special physical properties of
AquaCell Lite, certain precautions are
recommended on site to prevent damage
to the units through excess loading.
Manual assembly
Whilst assembling the tank, it may be
necessary to walk on top of previously laid
units, care should be taken not to damage
the edges of the units.
Construction traffic on site
If construction plant (e.g. excavators
or loaders) are likely to run over the
installation:
MINIMUM protective cover: 500mm
well-compacted granular material
Excavators MUST NOT exceed
14 tonnes. Compaction plant not to
exceed 2,300kg per metre width
HGVs MUST NOT be allowed to run
over installed AquaCell Lite units
Backfilling
When backfilling AquaCell Lite installations:
Machines placing the material must be
located OFF the units
Only light compaction should be applied
to the material
If Type 1 sub-base (or similar) material over
AquaCell Lite units requires compaction:
First layer should be 300mm thick
before any compaction
NO vibratory mechanism should be
used for compacting this first layer
MAXIMUM roller size: 2,300kg per metre
width
Ancillaries and Adaptors
All ancillaries and adaptors available for use
with AquaCell can be used with the new
AquaCell Lite system, except the 225mm
Flange Adaptor (6LB106). The 150mm
Flange Adaptor (6LB104) should only be
used when constructing an air vent, on the
top surface of the unit.

Introduction to Garastor

Introduction to Garastor®*

Development of sites results in a large

proportion of area being covered by
impermeable surfaces such as roofs, car
parks and roads. Surface water run-off
therefore increases up to 80%. Building
Regulations and guidance now requires a
sustainable approach to development,
which minimises the effects of run-off to
that of a greenfield site (20%).

Developed in collaboration with Bryant

Homes, Garastor (polypropylene control
chamber) represents a house by house,
rather than a development wide
approach, to stormwater management.
Garastor controls the flow of water at
source by temporarily storing water under
a soft landscaped area using the AquaCell
system or in the void space under the Garastor – polypropylene control chamber
floor slab of a residential garage. It
eliminates the need for costly, space-
hungry, on-site communal water-storage
structures or ponds which enables better
use of developable land.

During high intensity rainfall, water from

the roof or hardstanding areas is diverted
via the Garastor control unit into the
storage void. As the storm subsides the
rainwater can be slowly released back
into the main drainage system.

Note: Garastor can be used as a flow control device

for any AquaCell storage system, no greater than one
unit deep with a discharge of up to 1.4 l/s via the
30mm release flow orifice.

*Garastor is manufactured under licence (Patent Number GB2357093)

Garastor System Overview

Garastor ® System Overview

Garastor System
The Garastor unit is a polypropylene
chamber that connects to a water storage
reservoir. There are two versions of the
Garastor available both of which are
500mm in diameter, the 6SC500 version is
1m deep for garage installations (with a
300mm storage depth capacity) and the
6SC501 is 1.25m deep for use with
AquaCell* (with a 400mm storage depth
capacity). When Garastor is used in
conjunction with an AquaCell tank the
configuration of units must be no deeper
than 1 AquaCell unit.

If site conditions are such that a deeper

Garastor unit is required then the 500mm
Extension Kit (6SC205 – consisting of a
coupler and two ring seals) can be used in
conjunction with a shaft of 500mm Twinwall
cut to suit, to extend the Garastor unit.

* Depending on the application either AquaCell or

AquaCell Lite may be used in conjunction with Garastor.
For further details contact Wavin Technical Design.

HOW IT WORKS
Storm or surface water flows through two
110mm diameter incoming pipes. If the
flow is light to moderate, the water is
simply stored in the chamber before being AquaCell/ AquaCell Lite units

slowly released through a 30mm orifice.

However, if the inflow is heavy, excess
water in the chamber discharges through
a 150mm diameter pipe into the water
storage area (either the undercroft of a
garage or an AquaCell tank). The water is
temporarily stored until the water level
inside the chamber has dropped
sufficiently, and the water can flow out to KEY BENEFITS
