1. Pre-Project Consultation
Identify the right stormwater strategy early
Early consultation helps avoid costly design changes and construction delays. Our specialists review site conditions and recommend practical stormwater solutions.
Consultation support includes:
- Project scoping and system selection
- Guidance on infiltration, detention, or harvesting systems
- Solutions for space-restricted sites or high recharge requirements
Sector expertise
- Municipalities: reduce flooding and manage aging infrastructure
- Commercial sites: prevent parking lot flooding and support LEED goals
- Residential developments: protect basements and landscape value
2. Engineering
Design Support
Engineered solutions for reliable performance
BARR Plastics provides complete proposal and design assistance to ensure EcoBloc systems meet hydraulic and structural requirements.
Design services include:
- Reservoir sizing and configuration
- Module selection based on burial depth and loading
- Planning for site constraints and nearby structures
EcoBloc modules provide 203 L gross volume with a 96% storage coefficient, allowing large storage capacity in compact footprints.
3. Verified Technical Performance
Data engineers can rely on
EcoBloc systems are supported by validated performance specifications and internationally recognized standards.
| Feature | Smart | Smart Plus | Smart Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Burial Depth | 5.0 m | 6.0 m | 7.5 m |
| Load Capacity | HS-25, 60 tons | HS-25, 60 tons | HS-25, 60 tons |
| Storage Coefficient | 96% | 95% | 95% |
Certifications
EcoBloc systems are tested to EN 17152-1, the leading European standard for geocellular modules.
Third-party certifications include:
- BBA Certification
- DIBt
- CSTB
- Benor
These certifications confirm structural strength, durability, and long-term performance through independent testing and ongoing factory audits.
4. Logistics & Supply Support
Fast delivery across Canada
BARR Plastics maintains large inventory in Canada to help keep construction schedules on track.
Logistics advantages
- Efficient modular stacking design
- Up to 425 m³ storage per 52-foot truck
- Reduced freight costs and fewer shipments
This efficiency also helps lower project carbon impact.
5. Installation Support
Guidance for proper system installation
Correct installation protects system performance and service life. BARR Plastics provides technical guidance during construction.
Key installation considerations:
- Level granular bedding layer
- Proper compaction and backfilling
- Correct geomembrane or geotextile application
- Maintaining minimum soil cover during construction traffic
Our support helps contractors install systems correctly and safely.
6. Maintenance & Lifecycle Support
Long-term system performance
EcoBloc systems are fully inspectable, allowing easy maintenance and monitoring after installation.
Maintenance methods include:
- High-pressure cleaning to remove sediment
- Camera inspections to verify internal condition
- Long-term performance monitoring
Proper maintenance supports service life exceeding 75 years.
