Infiltration trench for urban roads

Context : Management of run-off water from roads, car parks and roofs as part of a project to create a Nexity housing estate in Dordives (France, Centre-Val de Loire, 44).

Challenge : The design office “ALP Géomètres” has studied solutions for infiltrating run-off water in situ, to follow the recommendations of the building permit excluding any discharge into the public sewer. The concerned land is favourable to local water infiltration thanks to hydraulic conductivities between 10^-4 and 10^-5 m/s, which allows for land plot water management. As the common areas are to be reassigned to the Dordives town, a single structure was essential, by taking into account the risks of diffuse or accidental pollution.

Water pollution control solution :  TenCate GeoClean® Origin active oil-biodegrading aquatextile.

Function : Fixation of hydrocarbons and PAHs, then activation of their natural biodegradation
