In the era of climate change, water management has become a key concern. To combat the phenomenon of saturation and overflow of rainwater collection networks in the event of severe weather, TMP CONVERT has developed CAPTIO®. This patented system of honeycomb-structured panels, with a 95% void ratio, allows for temporary water retention on accessible and inaccessible waterproofed roof terraces.

CAPTIO® An innovative and sustainable solution for the temporary retention of rainwater

The innovative CAPTIO® temporary water retention solution on waterproof concrete supports consists of a wide range of honeycomb panels that meet all the technical constraints of the project manager: heights from 30 to 240 mm for a water retention capacity of 27,9 to 227,3 l/m2. Made in France from 100% recycled polypropylene, CAPTIO® honeycomb panels are quick and easy to install, and highly resistant to compression (30 T/m2).


When heavy rains occur and the water cannot be drained instantly, the cells of the CAPTIO® system fill with water and then gradually empty through their micro-perforations. This technically innovative and economical solution (no need for an underground tank) ensures a gradual release of water into the sanitation network.

 

CAPTIO® honeycomb panels are delivered pre-assembled to the construction site, sized according to the specifications of the technical design office and local regulations (the thickness of the CAPTIO® depends on the volume of water to be stored).

Ready-to-use, CAPTIO® honeycomb panels are installed on the waterproofing system or on the inverted insulation. They are laid directly on the drainage layer, one against the other.

- APPLICATIONS -
CAPTIO® alveolar plates are used for:
› Create a temporary water retention system for a waterproof roof terrace
› Create a lightweight backfill on a roof terrace
› Ballast with gravel in the case of inverted insulation.

- DESTINATION -

› Inaccessible roof terrace (gravel, planted)
› Technical roof terrace (stabilized gravel, concrete slabs)
› Roof terrace garden (topsoil)
› Roof terrace accessible to pedestrians (stabilized gravel, slabs on pads, permeable paving stones, slabs, paving stones, reinforced concrete slabs)
