Infiltration Tunnels – An Effective Solution for Decentralized Infiltration
Infiltration refers to the introduction of precipitation runoff into the ground via engineered infiltration systems. The increasing imperviousness of surfaces—resulting from buildings, parking lots, and roads—frequently overburdens existing sewer systems and heightens the risk of flooding. Consequently, the use of decentralized systems for rainwater infiltration is often mandated.
It is imperative to ensure that only uncontaminated water is introduced into an infiltration system.
With regard to its suitability for infiltration, precipitation runoff is considered harmless if it originates from the following types of surfaces:
- Non-metallic roof surfaces in residential areas
- Terrace surfaces in residential areas
The ROTO Infiltration Tunnel in Detail
The tunnel system has been specifically developed for the underground infiltration, retention, and storage of rainwater. The system is utilized in applications ranging from small-scale drainage tasks to large-scale commercial and industrial projects.
Technical data and dimensions
End Plate
An end plate is attached at the beginning and end of each row of elements to close off the system. The plates are perforated to allow for the quick integration of piping (diameters between 60 and 230 mm).
FAQ
Versickerungstunnel eignen sich für die dezentrale Regenwasserbewirtschaftung in Wohn-, Gewerbe- und Industriegebieten. Sie werden bei Dachflächen, Parkplätzen, Zufahrten und größeren versiegelten Flächen eingesetzt.
Yes. With proper installation and sufficient cover, infiltration tunnels are suitable for loaded areas—for example, parking lots or traffic areas.
Maintenance is carried out via connected shafts and pipelines. The system can be flushed and inspected using camera technology, thereby ensuring safe long-term operation.
