Aquadyne

Aquadyne was developed by John Gaskarth as a superior solution to sustainable drainage. A material produced exclusively for Econoplas, it is environmentally friendly, and structurally stable with quicker installation times and lower costs.  

 
With its micro and macro porous nature it can retain and reserve water easily without clogging. Better for our environment it is also made out of 100% used recycled plastics, a basic and increasingly large waste material. 

Other benefits include:

• Easier to install because the trench can be shallower and narrower than traditional methods
• A more efficient flow rate, up to 10 times that of sand as Aquadyne will not clog
• It is 20% less expensive than traditional materials with 75% less weight carried to site
• Durable and strong, can take up to 1000 tonnes per m2. No need to reinstall
• Made for 100% re-cycled materials, it really is a greener, enviromentally friendly option.

Green Roofs

Green roofs have a multitude of benefits and not only look great; they make a great insulator, while adapting to climate change, C02 reduction and improving biodiversity. Green roofs will also retain water, reducing runoff and peak flows to our sewage system. The plant life and soil acts a filter to rain water capturing airborne pollutants, and noxious gases like nitrogen and phosphorus, creating an important habitat for flora and fauna.

Green Walls

At Econoplas, we use Aquadyne capillary substrate to bring life and the beauty of nature to urban spaces. Whether you want a horizontal, pitched or vertical surface with walls,  free standing or a suspended construction, Aquadyne is fast, light, simple to install and economic as well as beautiful.

Other benefits include thermal and energy saving properties, air filtration, reduced pollution and sound, as well as being a sustainable urban drainage system that is both a work of art and wonderfully tactile to touch.

Surface Drainage

Aquadyne provides the perfect drainage system for multi sports pitches or for corporate use. Using Aquadyne drainage to construct or refurbish high quality natural turf sports fields will provide a low cost, fast and effective solution that is up to 20% cheaper than conventional drainage systems.

Other benefits include:  

• It utilises a fast, clean and precise trenching equipment
• Aquadyne is 75% lighter than aggregate draining systems
• It will reduce your overall costs
• Up to 80% less material transported to and from the site
• Up to 50% less reducted excavation
• Aquadyne is suitable for a multitude of sport surface uses

Civil Engineering & Construction

Aquadyne offers a unique strength and structural stability combine with low weight making it ideal for use in engineering and construction. As a highly sustainable material, Aquadyne can stand over 1000 tonnes of compression stress (per m2) while retaining its superior drainage characteristics, with a flow rate of more than 20lts per m2 per second. So it’s an ideal material for construction use, which involves high compression and heavy duty traffic.

Aquadyne also prides itself on being a carbon positive building material, as for every 200m (44m2) of Aquadyne up to 2 tonnes of C02 is saved.  Aquadyne: a simple sustainable solution.

Water Treatment

Being a superior filtration and infiltration material, Aquadyne’s water treatment applications can have many uses. From septic tanks, water collection plus water recycling on sports fields and green roofs to trickling biofilters in water treatment systems and highway gullies for surface water run-off, and even green latrines.

Aquadyne’s quality structure means that it is both stable, with a vast surface area and very high open pore structure.
