Polystorm-R Modular Cell
Product code: Polystorm PSM1A
The Polystorm-R modular cell is ideally suited for loaded applications at greater depths, such as housing, commercial and infrastructure projects and has a compressive strength of up to 61 tonnes/m². It offers all the proven performance of the Polystorm cell, with the added benefits of being manufactured from over 90% recycled material content.
Wherever performance criteria and standards allow, we will always maximise the sustainability of our products by using post consumer plastics in their manufacture. By sourcing and carefully controlling the quality of the recycled material we use our precision injection moulding. Therefore we are able to guarantee consistent quality in our recycled plastic, giving you the confidence and the performance levels you expect from the market leader.

Polystorm Durability
The polymer material used in the manufacture of the Polystorm-R unit has an adequate resistance to attack from the type and quantities of chemicals that may be expected to naturally occur in uncontaminated soils and rainwater runoff. When installed in accordance with Polypipe recommendations, it is expected that the Polystorm-R unit will have a design life in excess of 60 years*.
The installer of a proposed geocellular structure should ensure that an appropriate design check has been undertaken, in accordance with the recommended methodology and factors of safety given in CIRIA C680 (2008), Structural Design of Modular Geocellular Drainage Tanks, prior to the commencement of construction activities.
* Derived from long term extrapolated creep testing
