The SPELBasin, our modular bioretention basin, has met the criteria for Auckland Council Stage 1 Approval. This evaluation lays the foundation for the provision of these vital stormwater devices across the Auckland region, and we look forward to helping our local clients with this compact and effective stormwater solution.
With standards set for 75% removal of total suspended solids (TSS) to meet local Auckland requirements, the SPELBasin performed above these benchmarks with the following data being verified during the device evaluation process –
- Total Suspended Solids (TSS) – 86%
- Total Phosphorus (TP) – 65%
- Total Nitrogen (TN) – 50%
- Gross Pollutants – 99%
Benefits of the SPELBasin


Smaller On-Site Footprint


Reduced Maintenance


Impervious Outer Shell
We look forward to more products from the SPEL range addressing the key requirements for Stage 1 approval in Christchurch and the ways this can accompany the successful roll-out of SPEL products across New Zealand.
