Attenuate and infiltrate
Handle peaks in rainfall and you minimize the risk of flood damage. Our attenuation solutions give you maximum control over stormwater discharge. Infiltration solutions store and slowly discharge excess water into the surrounding soil.

AquaCell
Attenuation and infiltration in non-trafficked and trafficked zones can be achieved with specially engineered products. Wavin’s range of AquaCell units include options for use at a range of depths and loadings for maximum flexibility. -
Inspectable units Q-Bic Plus
Use Wavin Q-Bic Plus units when you are looking for the best in class solution to store large volumes of rainwater. Wavin Q-Bic Plus is suitable for both attenuation and infiltration, and will deliver optimum performance under the heaviest load. The modular design allows for the fastest installation time and a flexible tank design that is suitable for all projects. -
Twinwall Infiltration Pipes
Wavin TwinWall pipes are a cost-effective infiltration system. They facilitate the infiltration of rainwater into the surrounding soil via a series of slots or perforations along their entire length. -
Stackable units AquaCell
The AquaCell NG system equips contractors, civil engineers and installers with a powerful new advance in the construction of surface water management tanks. Manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, it represents the future of sustainable drainage.
What is an Attenuation Tank?
An Attenuation Tank or a “Stormwater Attenuation Tank” is a large container/detention tank acting as a buffer to store excess rainwater and surface water. Basically, attenuation means to temporarily store storm water for a period of time, to then release back into a watercourse or sewer network.
How do Attenuation Tanks work?
The stored water inside an attenuation tank is released via a flow-control chamber at a controlled rate, which means that the surface water run-off will be slowed down before being released into a local water course like a river or reservoir.
Why use an Attenuation Tank?
The idea is to design a system that can deal with the flow at the source – rather than downstream and effectively to reduce the risk of localised flooding.
