Public authorities are increasingly enforcing stricter environmental regulations and stormwater management standards to mitigate the ecological impact of industrial and commercial activities. This shift is driving a more integrated approach to stormwater management within projects, emphasizing the retention, reuse, and infiltration of rainwater close to its source.
Commercial zones
Hydrocarbon pollution in commercial zones is primarily caused by oil leaks, fuel residues, and particles released when vehicles idle, move, or brake. Due to high levels of human activity, runoff water often contains elevated hydrocarbon concentrations, with risks of accidental pollution from illegal dumping or vehicle accidents.
Implementing OSMORIA aquatextiles for source control in polluted runoff areas within commercial zones can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for complex and costly collection and treatment systems, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution.
Logistics platforms and industrial zones
Logistics platforms and truck parking areas are high-risk zones for hydrocarbon pollution, as trucks frequently leak oil, which can infiltrate groundwater or enter drainage networks. Given the increased risk associated with heavy vehicle traffic, using OSMORIA aquatextiles at these sites enhances water quality before it infiltrates the ground or flows into drainage systems, protecting both local ecosystems and water supplies.

Parking or refuelling areas for construction equipment
Construction equipment is especially prone to oil and grease leaks, resulting in parking and refueling areas that are often contaminated with hydrocarbons. These pollutants can seep into the soil and reach aquifers, posing significant risks to drinking water sources and creating long-term pollution challenges.
Once groundwater is contaminated, it is far more difficult to treat than surface water, making pollution from construction sites a serious environmental threat. Assessing environmental risks early helps reduce potentially high costs of preventing or treating water pollution. Installing OSMORIA Geoclean decontaminating aquatextiles in construction equipment parking areas provides an easy-to-implement, effective solution for protecting soils and aquifers from potential leaks.
