The New Atlantis Vision:A solution to solve global warming, water and climate change

Established in 1986, Atlantis is the leading international provider of stormwater management solutions.With offices and partners around the world we integrate consulting and the supply of innovative, ecological, sustainable technologies to develop holistic environmental solutions for urban stormwater management.

Mission Atlantis’s objective is to create sustainable environmental solutions turning major environmental problems into rejuvenated assets that enhance water and air quality in a practical way.

Our Approach The Atlantis approach is modern, holistic and creative resulting in a more natural and environmentally, sustainable design.Environmental ComplianceThe Atlantis system complies with the toughest environmental regulations even in the most difficult and sensitive locations, thereby avoiding unnecessary delayed costly legal cases.

Strategic AlliancesOur strategies include partnering with customers to develop the specific customized solutions, anticipating and meeting their development needs while, at the same time, repairing or protecting the environment in a manner which makes economic sense for all parties involved in urban development.

Atlantis incorporates a long tradition of mature environmental considerations when analyzing development design. Our multi-skilled team of environmental engineers, landscape architects and biologists work together to solve customers' problems in an ethical and holistic way.

Global WarmingClimate Change & Water Mismanagement

Cities are becoming more impermeable and experiencing three dimension desertification. We are draining the water and the life away from the cities which are becoming hot during the day and cold during the night. Impermeability contributes to water contamination, flooding and global warming.

“Atlantis has the Solutions” Atlantis Water Management found solutions for many ancient environmental problems, providing a revolutionary vision and practical solution for more than 27 years. A simpler way to make ecological cities. Making cities environmentally sustainable and healthier to live in.

At Atlantis we are helping to restore the environment regardless of how big the job is.

The enviro-remediation is basically that by changing the impermeable surfaces to permeable ones and allowing the harvested rainwater to be used again. Trees and plants will do their job like nature intended, and by so doing, repairing the ozone layer, reduce global warming and managing water in a sustainable way. Atlantis makes all this possible for a fast recovery of the planet..

Roman technologies owe the environment an apology.

BENEFITS:

Atlantis Water Management systems have been developed to provide a method of source management:• by providing temporary water storage for recycling• by providing a purification unit from roof areas to infiltrate clean stormwater or recycle it back into back into the ground.• to eliminate of water run off.

The modular nature of AtlantisStormwater Management systems means that they can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of each site. They can be used to provide temporary storage, attenuation and infiltration capacity for run-off for all sizes and types of site: from individual houses up to the largest commercial developments.

The systems comprise: permeable paving, subsoil horizontal blanket- type water saving water carriers and storage/infiltration systems

Individual polypropylene modules assembled together to form anunderground structure are used for stormwater storage or as a soakawaypurification unit.

Atlantis provides solutions that mimic the water cycle of nature incorporating innovative technologies and systems for current living standards.

Natural Water Cycle



The environmental medium density building design is a concept by Humberto Urriola, for a Spanish project in the arid Madrid area. The solution on this occasion was to utilize the existing natural ground levels and build the initial development on suspended concrete slabs with the intention of giving the resident a natural environment and at the same time, reduce summer heat

and in winter, regulate the temperature.In this case the total surface area is dedicated to gardens, from roofs to podiums. These green areas will immediately give a large number of benefits to the residents and to the city as a whole. Environmentally, 100% of the rainfall will be collected and the excess rainwater stored and recycled on site, eliminating at the same

time, all contamination produce by surface run off.Internal roads and car parks would be situated below the concrete slab and the surface dedicated to nature and people.

Eliminates the need for expensive stormwater infrastructure.

• Recycle Clean WaterCapture clean and recycle 100% of stormwater at point source.

• Improve Air QualityIncreased vegetation transforms carbon monoxide and produces oxygen.

• Reduce Global WarmingRoof gardens cool cities and reduce airborne pollutants rising into the atmosphere.

• Eliminate City FloodsCapturing all rainfall on site reduces the burden on urban stormwater systems.

• Reduced MaintenanceThe Atlantis® systems are self cleaning and require little or no maintenance.

Green Cities

Water Sensitive Urban DesignThrough the use of permeable surfaces rainfall is allowed to immediately infiltrate where it falls. Rainwater is then collected for harvesting or to recharge groundwater.

Increased vegetation within cities reduces heat and air contamination.



Soil Stabilisation & Erosion Control

Permeable Paving Solutions

Gravel Cell® reinforcement structure installed for an internal road of a housing development.

Gravel Cell® reinforcement structure installed for pathways on a university campus.

Gravel Cell® reinforcement structure installed for individual car parking lots.

Ideal to house and protect grass Turf Cell® reinforcement structure is the only product available that allows both horizontal and vertical root growth. Unlike concrete systems, the roots remain cool and grass growth thrives. Driving vehicles onto the grass has no effect on the protected roots. Aesthetically, the product allows the grass to fill in completely, creating a lush lawn with an invisible reinforcement structure.

Gravel Cell® reinforcement structure creates an attractive, durable hard surface suitable for light to medium loaded parking areas.

Applications The cells can be used in any situation where low to medium use parking surfaces, access roads and driveways are required.

The cells can also be used for the construction of swales to collect rainwater and direct water to surface infiltration areas such as Atlantis® sub surface Infiltration channels.

Cost Benefits The sub-base required for cells is equal to or less than the sub-base required for concrete or bitumen. Elimination of the traditional stormwater system required by impermeable carpark installations provides an immediate cost saving when installing Turf Cell® or Gravel Cell® for the same application.

Benefits

Strong Structure- Turf Cell®/Gravel Cell® reinforcement structure can support heavy loads for up to 100 t/m2 unconfined.

Easy Installation- Can be installed by unskilled labour- Product is quickly clipped together.

Rigid Clipping System- Unique easy to use interlocking system.

Supports heavy loads up to 148.58 t/m2 unconfined.

Road Stormwater Re-use

The Atlantis system also provides a strong, permeable structure, that can capture and manage water along the length of the system.The Atlantis road system reduces thermal contamination (from reflected heat) up to 170C in relation to the conventional road methods. In cold areas, permafrost penetration is reduced.

Atlantis Road Stormwater Treatment and Purification System

One of the most commonly occurring forms of environmental pollution is caused by stormwater run-off.

In some cases the expansion of urban development has led to a “sealing” of up to 90% of the surfaces that “trap” and accumulate most pollutants which are transported in solution during rain periods and eventually contaminate waterways and oceans.

Atlantis has developed permeable systems which capture and treat polluted storm water at the source. Part of the treatment process involves percolation and oxygenation through Atlantis systems.
