A novel drainage solution called the RAUSIKKO high load box system has been developed by REHAU.
This system allows rainater to drain away to a separate spot rather into the localised area.

The system can be covered over with a road surface and then is strong enough to handle the passage of heavy vehicles.
The idea of the system is to prevent flooding close to buildin
