We are pleased to invite you to the RedSuDS 2017 – Challenges and future of SuDS in Spain, which will take place in Madrid on Thursday, 30 March 2017. HIDROSTANK will present its attenuation crates for Sustainable Drainage Urban Systems (SUDS), that allow a bespoke dimensioning of infiltration/detention tanks, infiltration trenches, ditches…: The modularity and ease of assembly of the HIDOBOX cells, certified by Bureau Veritas, facilitate their transport and make possible a very fast installation. In Spain we have collaborated in numerous projects, highlighting our participation in the project of the Green Ring of Vitoria, European Green Capital 2012. RedSuDS is a collaborative network that constitutes a forum for the discussion and dissemination of knowledge that allows the generalization of the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Spain. This Conference aims to consolidate RedSuDS with the aim of promoting the paradigm shift in Spain from the conventional optics of urban drainage to a drainage system that incorporates the SuDS as a usual solution, bringing together professionals from the Administration, companies and the University and centers Research in a discussion forum that provides a current overview of the SuDS in Spain and identifies key priorities in the short and medium term. The attendance to the RedSuDS 2017 Conference is free, previous registration in this link: Https://goo.gl/forms/lrtquhiynDtOPJZA2 The RedSuDS 2017 Conference will take place

HIDROSTANK presented its HIDROBOX attenuation crates in a conference about “MANAGEMENT OF STORMWATER IN PUBLIC GREEN AREAS WITH SUSTAINABLE URBAN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS (SUDS)”, that took place las December in Madrid. The aim of this course was to introduce the technicians of the City Council in the Sustainable urban drainage systems in Green áreas, in order to apply them in accordance with the guidelines of the Municipal Ordinances and Documents. Different engineers explained the management of rainwater in public green areas and development of the aspects related to its regulations, design and maintenance, as well as some of the items available in the market for execution. Software used for both decision making and for SUDS modeling was also explained and the conference included a technical visit to already executed infrastructures HIDROSTANK introduced its HIDROBOX attenuation crates, that enable the dimensioning of infiltration basins(recharge basin), detention basins, percolation trenches …. Besides HIDROSTANK technicians, they took part engineers from:  Barcelona City Council  Polytechnic University of Valencia  University of Cantabria

MATCOEX is a group of construction material companies from Navarra. Alquibalat, Hidrostank and Meplasjar companies, which operate in the sustainable construction sector, decided to pool their resources in order to be able to reach more markets and promote synergies amongst them, as they are comparable in size and have similar market strategies and distribution channels. From the moment they began to develop the project for their internationalisation as a group, they have been sharing information, meet frequently and have a joint strategy of entering the markets in certain geographical areas hand in hand. Their aim is to share their knowledge of different countries, their experience and their contacts to boost the exporting capacity of all of them. The group is managed by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services of Navarra.

10 years since the first Overflow screens Type PAS installed in Spain. The Overflow screen that Hidrostank manufactures and markets, consists of a 5 or 6 mm perforated grid with diameters of 300 mm or grid 500 mm and effective lengths up to 6 meters. Cleaning is done through water jet generated by a pump that pushes water from the storm itself. The system allows it can be installed both in existing works and new projects, as it can be introduced disassembled and assembled inside. Its simplicity also do all maintenance focuses on the pump that properly placed under a lid, prevents the entry of personnel into the sewage installation, minimizing costs and risks of the operator. Those first references installed in Huesca and Lugo, were followed bt those installed in Avila, Zaragoza, Cantabria, Ciudad Real, Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia, Asturias, Valencia, Fuengirola, Santiago, Orense … Later more projects were executed in Avila, Lugo , Fuengirola and Gipuzkoa, as a result of the confidence of operators in the simplicity and efficiency of the system. In the next edition of Pollutec 2016 in Lyon to be held between November 29 and December 2, Hidrostank will present these experiences. The HIDROSTANK Technical Office is at your disposal to study possible implementations of screens both new construction and existing spillways. Pump Action Screens

This year HIDROSTANK has supplied their HIDROBOX attenuation cells(also known as Storm Cells, Soakaway Modules, and StormCrates) in a project built in NIMES BELLEGARDE (FRANCE) HIDROSTANK worked closely with technicians from both the Technical Office and the contractor in the definition of the solution finally adopted. The modularity and ease assembling of HIDOBOX cells, certified by Bureau Veritas, enabled a very quick installation of the 3 retention tanks, of about 155 m3. France is one of several countries where HIDROSTANK is selling their HIDROBOX as a solution for the infiltration/retention of rainwater wherever possible to enable a sustainable urban drainage (SUDS):

HIDROSTANK has recently supplied its innovative reinforced polypropylene modular access chambers in a photovoltaic plant in Gunma, JAPAN The plant is located in the city of Takayama, Gunma Prefecture (Japan), in a difficult mountainous terrain. It is a 31.2 MW photovoltaic park will be operational next October. HIDROSTANK has worked closely with technicians of the developer, EPC, and the corresponding civil and electrical contractors to define the Access chambers best solution for electrical and CCTV ducting. For several years HIDROSTANK cooperates in the execution of ground mounted solar and thermosolar projects, where the features and benefits of our access chambers (easy installation and handling, coupled with its great strength) enable the EPC to fulfil, even shorthen in some cases, the demanding deadlines. This project, second in Japan, joins the numerous projects already undertaken in Europe, LATAM, Africa and Middle East

The next June 26 will be inaugurated the expansion of the PANAMA CANAL, one of the great engineering projects of the XXI century. The incorporation of the Third Set of Locks allow the passage of ships Neopanamax, with a capacity of 13,000 containers, triple what current. HIDROSTANK has supplied to the awarded joint venture, Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC), led by SACYR, its innovative reinforced polypropylene access chambers to the works of the PANAMA CANAL, one of the great engineering feats of the XXI century. The expansion of the Panama Canal will increase by 40% the capacity of transit of goods of existing waterways that link the Atlantic to the Pacific and is part of the integral program to expand the Canal capacity. HIDROSTANK has worked closely with the technicians of the awarded consortium Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC) to define the best solution for the electrical and telecommunications manholes. This project, the first PANAMA, joins the already performed in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia.
