System Principle
How Stormwater Storage Modules Work
HCR stormwater modules form a shallow layer below paving, planted areas or sports fields. Water enters the layer before flowing through its connected spaces. The system can then store the water, release it through an outlet or let it enter suitable ground.
- Receive runoffInitially, water enters through the surface, drainage layers or inlet connections.
- Move water through the layerThen connected spaces allow water to move across the module field.
- Store or release waterFinally, the liner and outlet plan control where water stays and where it leaves the system.
HCR stormwater storage modules are one part of the stormwater management system. Therefore, the design also needs filters, the right base, suitable levels and a route for overflow. Together, these parts manage the expected runoff.
For example, a detention design holds runoff for a short time and then releases it at a controlled rate. In contrast, an infiltration design lets water pass into suitable ground. Alternatively, a retention design keeps water for its intended use. In each case, the liner, soil and outlet design determine the final function.
Module Delivery
Delivered Ready for Site Placement
We supply HCR-1000 as a factory-assembled module. As a result, your team has fewer parts to assemble on site. You can then move each unit into place and connect it to the next module.
Before delivery, agree the work sequence and mark the access, storage and unloading areas. For example, check that the unloading point connects to the planned placement route.
Complete Stormwater Modules
Before shipment, we join HOENSOEY Cells into complete HCR-1000 units.
Packing and delivery
After that, we protect the modules and secure them on pallets for delivery.
Site preparation
Then prepare the base and the specified geotextile or membrane on site.
Alignment and connection
Finally, place the modules tightly together and connect them. Also check the layout before adding the specified covering layers.
Internal Technology
HOENSOEY Cells Inside HCR-1000
HOENSOEY Cells form the inside of each HCR module, creating connected spaces for water. The six-sided components also have built-in connection points to hold them together.
The regular outer shape helps with handling and layout. Meanwhile, the open cell structure provides space for drainage and storage. In addition, the integrated connectors allow assembly without extra tools.
Cells test results apply to the tested component setup. Therefore, they do not set the load limit of a complete HCR installation. Ask for the relevant data so your engineer can check the finished system.
Technical Reference

| Product series | HCR Series |
| Standard model | HCR-1000 |
| Plan dimensions | 1000 × 1440 mm |
| Installed depth | 82 mm |
| Finished format | Factory-assembled rectangular module |
| Internal structure | HOENSOEY Cells |
| Installation | Tight abutment and interconnection as a continuous field |
| Typical functions | Drainage, detention, retention, infiltration and conveyance, subject to design |

The 82 mm figure is the depth of one module. However, the total installation also needs space for the base, protection and surface layers. Request project technical data to review storage, loads and site needs.
Before counting stormwater storage modules, mark the boundaries, changes in level, access points and drain connections. Then confirm the usable area. As a result, you have a sound basis for checking the number of modules.
Typical Applications
Where to Use HCR Stormwater Modules
Stormwater storage modules can support several shallow drainage layouts. Before selecting a layout, review the intended use, available depth and loads. Then check the layers above and below the modules.
Paved Infrastructure
Parking & Paved Areas
Add rainwater storage below a designed pavement system. In particular, your engineer must check vehicle loads, covering layers and the supporting ground before selecting the system.
Landscape Design
Landscape & Green Space
For example, use the modules within planted areas, plazas, tree zones or podium landscapes. Also check soil depth, roots, filters and structural loads as part of the design.
Runoff Management
Detention & Infiltration Areas
Use a shallow layer to hold, release or direct runoff. Therefore, the liner, soil conditions and outlets determine whether the system provides detention, retention or infiltration.
For each application, the project engineer must confirm the surface layers, loads, drainage capacity, membrane and outlets. However, these images show design concepts rather than completed project references.
Packing & Delivery
From Pallet Packing to Site Delivery
HCR-1000 can use 29 product layers per pallet. We then add stretch film, paperboard protection and green straps to secure the modules for delivery.
Before delivery, plan unloading around the pallet arrangement. Then unpack and move the modules to the prepared area in the order you intend to lay them.
In addition, include the destination port or site address when you request a supply proposal. Also tell us about access and unloading limits.
- 29
- Product layers per pallet
- 2378 mm
- Product stack height
- ≈2528 mm
- Reference height including an approximately 150 mm pallet
40-foot high-cube loading
Tall pallets stand in one floor layer inside the container. Therefore, do not stack pallets on top of one another. We also review pallet sizes, gross weights and container quantities for each shipment.
Project Configuration
HCR Accessories
Before choosing accessories, review the module layout and site needs. Then confirm their positions for installation.
HexConnector
Interlayer Anti-Shift Connector
HexConnector joins the layers in a stacked HCR arrangement and helps limit sideways movement. Therefore, check the connector positions and layer count before installation.
The separate images explain the accessory and the module arrangement. However, they do not share a common display scale.
HexWick
Capillary Wicking Column
The white core extends below the grey holder to reach stored water. When it stays in contact, capillary action can provide a path toward the planting medium.
- Support the holder
To begin with, place the holder flange on the geotextile at the planned position.
- Maintain water contact
Then keep the white core in contact with the stored water below the holder.
- Provide a capillary path
Finally, water can move along the core toward the planting medium through capillary action.
Also check the water level, wick contact and planting layers for the project. The diagram explains the path, but it does not specify a lift height or delivery rate.
Frequently Asked Questions

These answers cover the main product and site questions. For a more specific review, also send your project details.
Module format and installation
What are HCR stormwater modules?
HCR stormwater storage modules provide a shallow space for rainwater, with HOENSOEY Cells forming their internal structure. For example, the standard HCR-1000 model is the starting point for most initial layouts.
What are the HCR-1000 dimensions?
HCR-1000 measures 1000 × 1440 mm in plan and 82 mm in depth. However, the full system also needs space for the base, protection and surface layers.
Does HCR-1000 arrive assembled?
Yes, we deliver complete modules. Before placement, the site team prepares the base. Then the team places and connects the units. Finally, it adds the specified covering layers.
How do adjacent modules connect?
First, align and connect the modules tightly, following the project layout for edges, inlets and outlets. Then check each connection before adding the covering layers, leaving no deliberate gaps between modules.
Site design and delivery
Can HCR go below vehicle areas?
Your engineer may consider HCR within a designed pavement system. However, the review must cover traffic loads, surface layers and ground conditions. Therefore, Cells component tests alone do not establish traffic suitability.
Can HCR support both detention and infiltration?
Yes, if the engineer designs the complete system for that use. For example, detention holds water before a controlled release. In contrast, infiltration lets water enter suitable ground. Therefore, the membrane, soil and outlet plan determine the function.
How do you pack the modules?
HCR-1000 can use 29 layers per pallet, with wrap, paperboard protection and securing straps. For container loading, place tall pallets in one floor layer in a 40-foot high-cube container. However, final shipment details vary.
What information do you need for a proposal?
To begin with, send the location, intended use, area and delivery destination. Also add the surface layers, design loads and required depth or storage volume. Finally, attach drawings so we can check the layout and supply plan.
