Solutions for Stormwater Runoff | Global Water

Written by Admin | 12 January 2025

As urbanisation continues to expand, managing stormwater run-off has become increasingly challenging. From flooding and pollutant-laden runoff to overwhelmed drainage systems, residential, commercial, and industrial developments are feeling the strain.

The key to overcoming these challenges lies in combining flood control with effective water treatment. Global Water’s range of innovative products - including EcoTreat™ Class 1 Stormwater Treatment Devices, DrainAce™ Pump Stations, and EnviroLift™ Concrete Pump Stations - offers efficient, environmentally conscious options to tackle stormwater challenges head-on.

EcoTreat™ Class 1 Devices: Treating Stormwater at the Source

Polluted stormwater runoff is a major concern in urban areas, often carrying hydrocarbons, gross pollutants, and suspended solids into waterways. EcoTreat™ Class 1 devices are designed to intercept and treat this runoff at the source, reducing environmental impacts before polluted water enters the stormwater system.

Key Features and Benefits

Pollutant Removal

Advanced coalescing technology reduces hydrocarbons to less than 5 mg/L, safeguarding ecosystems.

Customised Solutions

Full Retention Models: Treat all flows and contain potential spills in high-risk areas like fuel depots.
Bypass Models: Handle first-flush events in low-risk areas like carparks, treating initial stormwater runoff while bypassing higher flows during heavy rainfall.

Versatile Applications

Ideal for petrol stations, carparks, industrial sites, and other high-traffic zones.

By filtering out harmful pollutants, EcoTreat™ devices ensure cleaner water discharge, protecting natural waterways and downstream infrastructure from contamination.

DrainAce™ and EnviroLift™ Pump Stations: Flood Control for Every Application
