AquaFort® Stormwater System
AquaFort is a modular, underground tank system that is engineered for detention, retention, reuse and soakage applications.
It is a scalable, sustainable, and versatile solution for water quantity management in freestanding configurations or integrated with other stormwater assets. As the demand for sustainable infrastructure increases, AquaFort contributes to this by providing a smarter stormwater management solution.
AquaFort allows asset owners to ‘Gain More Ground,’ maximising lot yield through subsurface installation. The robust design and full trafficability rating allow the placement of these assets below site features such as car parks, landscaping, and hardstands, which increases land availability across development life cycles — a positive outcome for all stakeholders.
Locally manufactured in New Zealand, AquaFort’s unique cellular design provides optimal void space, a 95% storage ratio, and exceptional performance in load-bearing applications.
Requiring no gravel or rock within the tank storage area, its modular, lightweight components feature expedited install times, CO₂ reductions, freight efficiency, and reduced excavation requirements.
With a 100-year design life, AquaFort offers long-term durability and confidence in asset performance. Contact Cirtex for a Design Life Statement, Warranty Documentation, or further technical support.
