29. Zayed University, ABU DHABI Over 6.1km of infiltration channels or soakaways have been installed beside roads and pathways, providing over 4 million litres of storage . The channel system is constructed of thousands of Atlantis Matrix- Double Modules wrapped in geotextile, placed in the channel two modules wide.

Human development has disrupted natural balance in the lands infiltration capacity being able to absorb water.
Atlantis Eco-Roads can infiltrate the whole road border avoiding flooding. All land developments can consider infiltration instead of drainage, this way there is total balance in nature and total avoidance of floods.
This case is the reverse, we want to capture all the water, and we can. The whole road can serve as catchment area and the water can be stored in the Atlantis Tanks we can run the whole length of the road, at regular intervals we can have storage tanks so fire trucks can easily access water when then need it.
These are the tenets of what Atlantis can do. That is why most importantly Atlantis does not sell “products”, it may sell applications and certainly does the philosophy and concept. (From a business point of view this is very important to Atlantis, if this is not understood then the products sold are done so practically for the price of the plastic and the process involved, when the value they have is much more than this.)
