Flood prevention and groundwater infiltration

With climate change intensifying, cities are increasingly confronted with challenges, such as sudden and unpredictable flooding. To maintain the functionality of urban infrastructure, even during heavy rainfall, effective stormwater management is essential. 


Urban planners are recognising the critical role of stormwater retention, infiltration, and surface drainage in sustainable city planning. Underground water tanks play a key role in flood prevention and groundwater infiltration, ensuring efficient management of excess water. 


Large stadiums, for example, rely on water tanks to handle heavy rainfall without the risk of flooding. By capturing and storing rainwater, these systems help keep playing fields in optimal condition while contributing to sustainable water management. This approach benefits both the environment and the experience of fans, creating a practical and eco-friendly solutions.

Customisation & value engineering

ViaCon’s bespoke solutions combine retention, infiltration, and carrier piping creates cost-effective solutions that reduce space requirements and eliminate the need for extra manholes. Our pipes can be custom made in different diameters and lengths. 

Cost advantages

Take advantage of total cost advantage versus competing materials, such as plastics and concrete for larger projects subject to loads, water contamination, and space constraints. 

Supporting sustainability goals

Up to 70% reduced CO2e footprint when compared to similar solutions made of other materials. Steel is also environmentally friendly as it is 100% reusable.

Time-saving installations with easy maintenance access

Experience up to 80% faster installation, paired with simple maintenance through standard manholes—making our solution a practical, cost-effective, and sustainable choice for stormwater management.
