8,000 – 16,000 liters – trafficable up to 40 tons axle load.
RoDrive - Maximum stability. Maximum flexibility. Maximum volume.
With the certified Roterra Drive solutions (RoDrive) , you can make dual use of existing traffic areas: The tanks are installed directly beneath roadways and create additional storage space without taking up valuable land area.
Rainwater, greywater, or firefighting water are stored exactly where the space would otherwise be used exclusively for traffic. Parking lots, roads, access roads, and other paved areas remain fully usable while simultaneously fulfilling a key infrastructural function.
Whether municipal infrastructure, sports facilities, industry, or commercial:
RoDrive stands for high load-bearing capacity, tested safety, and customization for each project – even under demanding conditions.
RoDrive in detail.
RoDrive can withstand axle loads of up to 40 tons and is therefore ideally suited for traffic and industrial areas. The design meets the highest structural requirements and enables long-term use in high-traffic areas.
The significantly lower weight compared to concrete tanks greatly facilitates transport, handling, and installation. This reduces installation times, simplifies construction site logistics, and increases efficiency throughout the entire project process.
As an integrated infrastructure solution, RoDrive combines traffic surfaces and storage technology in a single system. Whether rainwater, greywater, or firefighting water—the storage concept is precisely tailored to the specific application and implemented with technical precision.

Versatile applications
RoDrive is designed as a high-performance large-capacity container for a wide range of applications and can be precisely tailored to the specific function. With its flexible configuration, integrable partitions, and project-specific connection solutions, it creates a system that precisely meets technical requirements.
- Buffer tank for the temporary storage of process water or stormwater
- Retention basin for controlled runoff regulation during heavy rainfall events
- Drinking water tanks for agricultural applications
- Oil separator systems for the safe separation and storage of contaminated fluids
- Wastewater treatment plants as a component of decentralized drainage systems
- Firewater storage tanks to ensure compliance with legally required firewater reserves
- Rainwater harvesting systems for sustainable irrigation and industrial water solutions
- Septic tanks for residential, commercial, or municipal use
Whether as a single tank or in a series configuration, RoDrive adapts functionally and in terms of capacity to the specific project requirements, offering a durable underground storage solution for municipal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural projects.
Parking spaces
Parking areas are indispensable—at shopping centers, hotels, hospitals, and many other facilities. At the same time, they represent a vast, previously untapped resource: enormous sealed surfaces that are mostly used exclusively for stationary traffic.
With RoDrive, you can transform this space into additional storage space. The tank can be efficiently integrated beneath parking spaces without restricting the use of the surface. Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity, the area remains fully accessible and usable.
By connecting multiple RoDrive tanks, you create a high-performance storage system with a large volume. This transforms your parking lot into a large underground tank—for rainwater, firefighting water, or process water—and supports an independent, sustainable water supply.
Industrial areas
Industrial areas present unique challenges: heavy traffic, heavily used surfaces, and nearly fully developed sites leave little room for additional infrastructure. There is usually no space for large water tanks.
RoDrive was developed specifically for these conditions. It is installed beneath traffic areas, parking lots, or adjacent to production areas—without losing valuable operational space. Its high load-bearing capacity enables long-term use even under intensive heavy-duty traffic.
This creates a high-performance underground water storage system for production processes, cooling water, or sanitary water. By utilizing and storing rainwater or process water, you reduce operating costs and sustainably increase your supply security.
