EcoAID

EcoAID can be used to harvest rain and stormwater in much the same way that natural aquifers or perched groundwater can be accessed by bores. One big advantage is that we are creating and replenishing that resource from water captured off roofs and other hard surfaces, such as carparks and roads, as opposed to extracting from a natural aquifer that may have taken thousands of years to form, and cannot be replenished as easily. In a natural aquifer water is purified through slow percolation and filtration. Similarly the EcoAID system is able to filter and treat captured water using a variety of natural or synthetic filter media. Best of all, the system is not taking up additional land space being below ground, and is secure from vandalism, fire and theft.

200m3 Detention for Helena Valley

Installed over 3 days, this 200,000 litre stormwater detention system provides treatment of the fine silt and sediment fractions not removed by the Gross Pollutant Trap upstream. EcoAid’s superior lateral flow distribution capabilities were fully utilised with relatively high peak inflows on site. A recycled concrete and brick drainage material was used in place of virgin crushed rock, further reducing the systems already low CO2 footprint in comparison to concrete and steel storage systems. EC-1000 arches have been load tested with recycled aggregates and concrete products. With EcoAID being made in Australia, our Carbon miles are low as well!
