Application
YD StormVault® is engineered for a wide range of urban environments where healthy tree growth and efficient drainage are both essential. Its modular design and high load-bearing strength make it suitable for projects of various sizes and complexities.
Urban Streetscapes & Sidewalks
- Integrate tree pits seamlessly into busy pedestrian zones and roadways. Our soil cells protect tree roots from compaction while withstanding the weight of pedestrians and vehicles. Ideal for tree-lined streets and walkable green corridors.
Public Plazas & City Squares
- Bring nature into dense urban environments. The system ensures trees thrive under hard paving, providing shade, cooling, and aesthetic value without damaging paved surfaces over time.
Parking Lots & Green Islands
- Install beneath parking zones to create tree buffers that double as stormwater infiltration zones. Withstand vehicular loads while promoting sustainable drainage and reducing surface runoff.
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
- Use in conjunction with rain gardens, infiltration trenches, or permeable pavements to form part of a complete SuDS strategy. Our system helps manage water naturally while increasing tree canopy cover.
FAQ
Yes. YD StormVault® is engineered to withstand vertical loads up to 35 tons, meeting structural requirements for installation beneath vehicular pavements, sidewalks, and urban roadways. Load testing conforms to industry standards for subsurface structural systems.
Yes. The soil cell matrix allows for on-site stormwater storage and infiltration, supporting SuDS strategies by mitigating surface runoff, reducing pressure on stormwater infrastructure, and enabling natural groundwater recharge.
Absolutely. The modular interlocking units can be configured both vertically and horizontally to match variable pit dimensions and design constraints. Custom layouts can accommodate irregular geometries or multi-tree planting schemes.
Installation involves standard site excavation, compaction of sub-base, modular stacking and alignment, soil infill, and backfill. No specialized tools or equipment are required. Installation guides and engineering support are available upon request.
Yes. The system has been successfully deployed in urban streetscapes, business parks, and city plaza developments, demonstrating excellent root establishment and stormwater performance. Case studies and technical performance reports are available.
