Smart, sustainable water management for the future
Hydrorock aquifer blocks offer a revolutionary way to manage water on-site using the power of nature.
The blocks are engineered from natural basalt rock spun into mineral wool and wrapped in a protective geo-filtration membrane, enabling them to mimic the behaviour of natural aquifers.
Lightweight, modular and easy to install, they’re a versatile solution for drainage systems of all sizes.
Hydrorock is already a proven solution in large-scale projects across Europe and central to urban resilience strategies like China and Singapore’s “Sponge Cities.”
As the exclusive fulfilment partner to Hydrorock UK and Ireland, we can now help you overcome significant challenges in water management, here in the UK.
Hydrorock absorbs water quickly – up to 950 litres per cubic metre – and holds it until the surrounding soil needs it.
This intelligent release system reduces runoff, aids infiltration and supports stable ground conditions. Unlike traditional crate-based solutions, Hydrorock integrates with the surrounding soil, helping manage compaction and mitigate flood risk through pressure-regulated flow.
Hydrorock’s modular design allows for fast, on-the-spot configuration adjustments, making it a resilient choice for unpredictable site conditions.
Our expert consultants work closely with you from design to installation, helping you tailor the system layout and achieve both compliance and performance goals on time and on budget.
Hydrorock blocks are manufactured from natural, inert materials, providing exceptional durability and long-term performance. They are capable of withstanding heavy loads of up to 2,000 kg/m², making them suitable for use even beneath car parks.
Designed to maintain high performance over decades, these blocks do not require any environmentally harmful materials or treatments. This makes them an ideal solution for developments that need to meet sustainability targets or planning requirements without sacrificing reliability.
Hydrorock delivers financial, logistical and environmental advantages:
Typically 10% less than crate-based systems.
Save up to 50% on labour and time thanks to minimal excavation and simple backfill.
Lighter loads and smaller equipment needs mean lower transport and spoil-away costs.
No system shutdowns required. Maintenance is easy, non-invasive and cost-effective.
Hydrorock systems are in place across diverse sectors and landscapes:
Whether you’re managing water on a rooftop or under a motorway, Hydrorock scales to suit the job.
An innovative solution made from 100% natural mineral wool.
Hydrorock provides natural aquifers, managing surface water and creating storage wherever it’s needed.
