The Marley Waterloc250 cell is ideal for use in either an underground infiltration or
attenuation system. 96% of the cell volume is available to store water, minimising
the extent of excavation required for the installation. In addition, the innovative
design of Waterloc250 enables the cells to be quickly built into layers and configured
to suit the area available.

Structural design considerations

The philosophy of limit state design is used for storage
tanks, which should be designed to safely support the
imposed loads, but allowing for the properties of plastic.
The concept of limit state design is to consider the
probability distributions of all parameters (applied loads
and material strength and stiffness) to provide better
control over risk than traditional design methods.
The two most common limit states to be considered are:
1. Ultimate limit state - the structure should not become
unstable or collapse under working loads or
foreseeable overload.
2. Serviceability limit state of deflection - deflections
of the units and the surrounding ground should be
at acceptable levels (for example to prevent surface
deformation).
Further advice can be found in CIRIA document C680,
Structural design of modular geocellular drainage tanks.

For infiltration applications the base level of the geo-cellular units must be
at least one metre above the maximum water table level. For attenuation
systems it is recommended that geo-cellular units are not installed below the
maximum water table level to avoid the risk of floatation.
Installation depths and cover

Maximum installation depths (to base of cells) and minimum cover depths of Waterloc250 cells
()(1)
Construction plant
A minimum of 300mm cover must be applied before mechanical compaction
can take place. Abnormal construction traffic must be prevented from
crossing the tank and in particular cranes and other similar plant should not be
located over the tank unless a specific site assessment has been undertaken.
Once surfacing is complete, heavy construction traffic should be prevented
from passing over the installation unless the design specifically allows for this.
Minimum Cover (m)
Site topography
Where installations are located adjacent to the foot of an embankment or
slope, consideration must be given to the increased lateral loading that will
be exerted on the cells and the maximum depth may need to be adjusted as
appropriate. Guidance on this can be found in the CIRIA guide C680.

Because each Waterloc250 cell interlocks vertically, cells on
subsequent layers do not require a base plate. The cell should
be inverted and the base plate pushed into place (fig 1),
making sure the alignment arrows on the cell and the base
plate are reversed. The base plate has four clips that locate into
the internal pillars of the cell.
Further layers of cells are built

up by rotating the cells by 180
so that the alignment arrows
on successive layers alternate.
No further clips are required
on intervening layers as the
cells interlock vertically,
however the cell clip can be
Marley offer a number of options for inlet and outlet pipe connections, from 110mm to 300mm. The WLRE250 can be used for
110mm and 160mm solid wall pipe or 150mm structured wall Quantum pipe. The WLRE250L or M can be used for 225mm and
300mm structured wall Quantum pipe.

used to link the structure.

Note: once the cell clip is fitted,
it cannot be easily removed.
The whole construction should be secured by fitting the
top cell connector around the edges of the cells and at all
intersecting points (fig 2).
Fig 1
The base layer of cells are positioned on the prepared sharp

sand bed once the geotextile or impermeable membrane
(depending on the application) has been laid. The cells should
be positioned so that the alignment arrows point in the same
direction.
Cell edges should butt together and intersecting corners align.
The perimeter of adjacent cells must then be secured using the
cell clip.
The cell clip can also be used between cells on the base layer,
to aid the rigidity of the installation.

Fig 4
To fit the connector, locate

the two mounting plate
legs into the rim of the cell
and position the upper lugs
so that they align with the
vertical slots of the cell.
Guide the lugs into the slots
and snap into position.
Pull the impermeable

membrane and/or geotextile
taut over the spigot of the
mounting plate and use the
spigot as a cutting guide to
make a close fitting hole in
the material.
Fig 5
For attenuation tanks, the

impermeable membrane
should be sealed by applying
a double bead of silicone
sealant to the face of the
mounting plate and between
the membrane and the flange
of the spigot. If using 160mm
or 150mm pipes, remove the
110mm spigot section.
Fig 6
Pull the material tight to

the mounting plate and fit
the connector so that the
keyway recess aligns with the
key on the plate. Then fit the
screws through the material
so that they securely clamp
the spigot to the mounting
plate. The spigot orientation
can be reversed to suit inlet
or outlet connections.

Installation data
Installation data
The USW30 can be used as a 600mm silt trap, with or without

the USW29 filter. It is also used as the housing for the range
of Flowloc control units and orifice plates.
The chamber base can be installed within a precast concrete
manhole or with a riser piece (available as part of the Waterloc
range.) Both installation methods require the base to be level
and bedded into a 150mm concrete base and surround. The
base has spigot connections suitable for either 110mm or
150mm pipe sizes at the inlet and outlet, with additional 110mm
side connections for use in off-line installations. All pipe
connections should be fitted with 600mm long rocker pipes to
allow for ground movement.

Using the solvent cement supplied with the kit, bond the
20mm pipe socket to the length of 20mm pipe, then bond
the socket to the handle attachment on the Flowloc device.
Allow the solvent to set before lowering the controller into
the base and engaging the square flange into the coupling
slot. The handle can be cut to length.
To set the overflow level, fit the 50mm pipe into the socket
in the chamber base aluminium coupling and mark the pipe
at a point coinciding with the top, or just below the top of
the storage tank. Cut the pipe at this point and bond into the
socket with solvent cement, then secure the open end to the
inside of the riser wall with the pipe clip and screws provided.

To fit the 600mm riser to the chamber base, fit the inlet
ring seal into the first corrugation of the riser, lubricate the
seal with silicone grease and insert fully into the socket of
the base with firm pressure. Fit the clamp ring between the
grooves of the base socket and locate the four clamps in the
corrugations of the riser before tightening.

The above table indicates the maximum number of top layer cell connectors required for an installation (shown in green). The connectors are required at each

250mm silt trap, UG60

The 250mm silt trap, UG60 can be used with or without a
filter, UG61. The 250mm silt trap must be installed with the
flow indication arrow in the base of the unit in line with the
direction of flow. This will ensure that the filter is always
correctly located against the inlet connection, and that the
UG60 leaf guard is fitted to the outlet.
The silt trap should be installed with a pea shingle bed
and surround at the appropriate depth. The riser is then
trimmed back to suit the ground level, before the UCL2/3
cover and frame is bonded in place with solvent cement.
When inserting the filter into the UG60, make sure that the
base is positioned against the location ramps and that the
wire retainer is lowered to lock it into position.

Where provision has been made for inspection of the tank,

it should be periodically checked for build up of silts in the
base. If there is evidence that silts or larger debris particles
have settled in the tank, it should be partially filled with clean
water which will loosen the lighter material and bring it into
suspension before drawing the water out with a suitable
sump pump. High pressure jetting hoses should not be used
to carry out cleaning as these might damage the tank liner.

Ideally, a maintenance programme should be set up to

ensure that the Flowloc control system is regularly checked
and cleaned. The filter unit should be periodically raised to
ensure that collected debris does not obstruct the inlet to the
chamber base. Any debris can be removed via the inlet port
at the back of the filter box. Before replacing the filter it is
advisable to clean out the base of the chamber with a suction
pump to ensure that the filter seats correctly on replacement.
The Flowloc controller or orifice plate should be periodically
removed for inspection and cleaning, and the base coupling
hosed out to ensure correct seating on replacement.
