A New Zealand-made stormwater management system, engineered for detention, retention, reuse and soakage.
The unique story of AquaFort goes well beyond stormwater storage. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, it delivers more value from the ground it occupies, both environmentally and economically. At the same time, it supports a more sustainable approach to infrastructure compared to mainstream imported stormwater systems, through local manufacturing and the use of recycled plastics collected here in New Zealand.
Bringing Gain More Ground to life, AquaFort’s modular underground design maximises stormwater storage while keeping the land above functional, for the likes of car parking, driveways and landscaped areas. Engineered for full traffic loading, its lightweight cellular design enables faster installation, reduced excavation and efficient freight.
Scalable for detention, retention, reuse and soakage applications, AquaFort can be used as a standalone system or integrated with other stormwater assets.Backed by a 100-year design life, it combines sustainability, structural performance and long-term reliability in one homegrown stormwater solution.
Designed in New Zealand. Made in New Zealand. Built from New Zealand’s recycled plastics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Manufactured locally in New Zealand, AquaFort® minimises environmental impact through reduced CO₂ emissions, lightweight freight-efficient components, and no need for gravel or rock in the storage zone. These attributes streamline installation and support lower embodied carbon outcomes.
For water reuse or retention applications, AquaFort can be wrapped in a watertight PE liner, effectively converting the structure into a sealed tank.
None. AquaFort is designed for rapid, tool-free assembly—its modular components simply clip together in seconds. This installation process not only saves time on site but also reduces labour costs and complexity, making it an efficient choice for civil and infrastructure projects.
