Geopool: Underground Rainwater Tank Solution – The foundation for creating a "Sponge City" in Vietnam

1. Urgent situation: Existing consequences of urban flooding
mua
Cause: Before urbanization, rainwater seeped into the ground and was temporarily stored. After urbanization, construction works made rainwater impermeable, flowing on the surface in a short time, overloading the drainage system.
 
Existing consequences in Ho Chi Minh City:
 
Economic damage: Flooding causes traffic congestion, damages property, and stagnates production, with estimated damage of up to tens of millions of USD per year.
 
Loss of aesthetics and hygiene: Prolonged flooding causes environmental pollution, disease outbreaks, and seriously affects the quality of life, making flooding a "familiar" image of the city.
 
Urgent need: International experts have proposed that Ho Chi Minh City refer to the "Sponge City" model to increase the ability to temporarily store water, limit surface flow and reduce the load on the drainage system, thereby "living with water" safely.
 
2. Geopool - Optimal "Plastic Reservoir" solution for Sponge City

Among the anti-flooding solutions, the construction of an underground rainwater tank is considered a top priority because: Effectively utilizing land funds, ensuring safety, hygiene and flexibility in scale.
 
Geopool System is a high-strength plastic underground rainwater tank system, developed by Okasan Livic Japan, helping to turn underground spaces under parking lots, parks, or roads into effective regulating lakes.
 
3. Geopool's Outstanding Technical Advantages

✅ Strength & Durability 50 years
 
Long-term load: Geopool can withstand the load of a T-25 heavy truck with a minimum fill layer of only 0.5m, allowing safe installation under parking lots and roads.
 
Heavy construction load: The system can withstand a 60-ton truck and a 90-ton crane working on the surface.
 
Long life: The product is resistant to material degradation and has good magnetic resistance, ensuring durability of up to 50 years.
 
✅ Fast Storage and Construction Performance
 
Extremely high void ratio (Water retention): Reaching 93%, allowing storage of 0.93m³ of water per 1m³ of product, optimizing storage capacity.
 
Fast construction: With lightweight materials (assembly modules) and simple design, Geopool helps to significantly shorten construction progress, solving the time problem for urgent projects.
 
✅ Easy Maintenance with Exclusive Percolation Wall System
 
The Percolation Wall System is a patented outstanding feature of Geopool.
 
This system helps to prevent and retain sand and soil in a small area, preventing it from flowing into the main reservoir.
 
Thanks to that, periodic maintenance, removing sand and soil through the pit cover becomes easier, overcoming the complicated maintenance problem of traditional plastic ponds.
