Maintaining good surface water quality and dealing with drought are growing challenges in urban areas. To help municipalities, water authorities and end-users adapt to climate change, we have developed Bluebloqs technology. Bluebloqs Biofilter is part of our circular system to enable rainwater storage and reuse in urban areas.

Our Bluebloqs Biofilter is part of our retention, treatment and storage system for rainwater reuse. It is designed as a constructed wetland with vertical downward flow, to minimise operational costs and optimise the use of space.

The first Urban Waterbuffer was opened at the Spartaplein in Rotterdam. This was accompanied by a neighbourhood festivity, which also focused on the importance of the changing urban climate.

Now that the realisation of the first full-scale pilot application of our Bluebloqs system in Spangen is coming up, we would like to give some insights in how we are able to reach this point in development. During the product design process, different aspects often need to be tested to find the best solution.

At The Green Village, an innovation test site in Delft, we have been able to implement and test the performance and mechanical properties of our system, including water flow, robustness, stability, assembly method and much more!
