Request Project ReviewStormwater & Rainwater Management · control the water before the threshold
Drainage, runoff, overflow and storage are part of weather protection. Apollo is developing a project pathway around stormwater attenuation, infiltration, permeable surfaces, rainwater storage and controlled overflow so water management begins at the site rather than at the door.
Stormwater & Rainwater · Key answers
The pathway looks at how rainfall moves across the site before it reaches vulnerable openings, including drainage, attenuation, infiltration, storage, overflow routes, permeable ground systems and pumps where appropriate.
No. Several categories are still marked Coming Soon or Planning Pathway. Exact specifications are confirmed when a defined product pathway is available for the project.
Useful inputs include site plans, levels where available, drainage layout, known ponding or overflow points, roof and hard-surface catchments, soil or discharge information, photographs, destination and the relevant local stormwater requirements.
Final storage volumes, infiltration rates, discharge design, structural loading and statutory stormwater compliance remain project-specific and require the appropriate local design professionals.
Protection pathways
Underground modular storage pathways that can support infiltration and temporary stormwater storage where site conditions allow.
Systems that hold and release stormwater in a controlled way rather than sending peak runoff directly downstream.
Modular storage and tank pathways that turn rainfall into a useful continuity resource where local rules allow.
Permeable paving and ground-grid pathways for selected parking, access and landscape areas.
Channels, trench drains and defined overflow routes coordinated around the building and access points.
Pumping and controls for sites where gravity drainage is insufficient or water must be moved deliberately.
Opening barriers remain a downstream layer after the broader water path has been considered.
Open pathwayCoordinate water control with equipment location, outage planning and recovery access.
Open pathwayBefore a major event, normal storms can reveal where water crosses paving, where drains surcharge, where downpipes discharge, which low points pond and whether the property has a deliberate overflow route.
Swales, channels, tanks, pits and infiltration systems all have finite capacity. The resilient question is what happens when that capacity is exceeded and whether the next path takes water toward or away from vulnerable openings.
Grades, swales, rain gardens, permeable areas and planted depressions can slow, store or redirect suitable stormwater when they are designed around local soil, slope, discharge and maintenance requirements.
A barrier that successfully stops runoff at a garage can create a basin behind it if local rainfall has nowhere to drain. Apollo treats drainage, barriers, pumps and overflow as one sequence.
Storage volume, infiltration rate, discharge, structural loading and local stormwater compliance depend on the site. Exact product specifications are confirmed for the selected system and project.
Project planning sequence
Map the hazard and building interfaces. Prioritise the interfaces with the greatest consequence. Verify the exact product information and local design requirements. Integrate structure, drainage, power, access and recovery. Maintain the system so the protection remains effective over time.
Project-specific technical review
The planning guide helps identify what to protect and which questions to ask. Structural, flood, electrical, wildfire, drainage and product-performance decisions are then confirmed against the selected system, current project documentation, local requirements and qualified professional input where required.
