Our innovative modular bioretention system, the HydroPlanter, is a ground-breaking stormwater management solution. It integrates seamlessly into highway schemes and developments, offering sustainable and resilient runoff management.
This is a ‘plug and play’ sustainable urban drainage solution (SUDs) that can attenuate and cleanse storm water and provide amenity and biodiversity to new and existing spaces. The modules will be filled with a particular soil specification and planted wildflowers and biodiverse grasses.
The concept is flexible, scalable and each unit stacks together to be a convenient solution that any subcontractor can work with and install. Installation is fast, simple and offers significant savings to alternative methods.
The modular characteristics with pre-calculated hydrological performance statistics mean that specification and design is very simple for any given catchment area.

| Catchment area | Catchment area per module for each UK region has been calculated and is viewable on the downloadable datasheet. |
| Infiltration | The HydroPlanter works as a fully lined system not allowing infiltration, so no further lining of the excavation is necessary. If infiltration is required, GBU can provide adapted HydroPlanters to suit. |
| Utilities | Utilities can be simply worked around – review details on the downloadable datasheet. |
| Stock holding | Large stocks are held in the UK for immediate despatch. |
| Pollution removal indices (CIRIA SuDS Manual – Bioretention System) | TSS: 0.8 – Metals: 0.8 – Hydrocarbons: 0.8 |
| Invert level | 760mm from top of Module (excluding weir walls) |
