FILTRAtioN

It is costing billions of dollars annually to address environmental concerns about the threat of storm water to our clean water supply. Haydite lightweight aggregate is providing new, consistent and cost effective options to meet these concerns. Haydite provides design flexibility for storm water management programs in meeting this environmental crisis.

Haydite offers low-maintenance solutions that meet existing and proposed government regulations without the use of chemicals, specialized equipment or major facility upgrades. On-site storm water management contributes toward LEED green building certification credit. The use of Haydite in such designs offers improved performance and longevity.
