Why Municipal Sustainability Directors Are Choosing Hydro Fix

Introduction: The Municipal Sustainability Mission

Sustainability directors manage more than green policies. They’re tasked with integrating real solutions into budgets, city plans, and infrastructure upgrades. Stormwater drainage is often overlooked—but it’s one of the most impactful places to build sustainable resilience.

Enter Hydroplank technology: a recycled plastic drainage system that’s engineered to solve water challenges while meeting environmental and budget expectations.

Common Drainage Challenges for Cities

• Outdated infrastructure (French drains, corrugated pipe)
  
  
• Standing water in parks and rights-of-way
  
  
• Repeated trench failures and maintenance
  
  
• Difficulty meeting MS4/NPDES mandates
  
  
• Pressure to use green building practices
  
  

Hydro Fix addresses all of these with a modular, sustainable solution.

Why Sustainability Directors Prefer Hydro Fix

♻️ 100% Recycled Plastic

Hydroplank technology transforms landfill-bound thermoplastics into permanent infrastructure. No virgin material required. Supports circular economy policies.

‍

🛠️ Low Maintenance

Unlike French drains, Hydro Fix systems:

• Don’t clog
  
  
• Don’t crush
  
  
• Don’t require filter fabric or gravel
  
  
• Last decades without repairs
  
  

📏 Installs Without Slope

Level installation allows integration in flat parks, greenways, and civic landscapes without grading disruption.

‍

💧 Stormwater Compliance

Supports MS4 and NPDES performance metrics:

• Moves runoff to infiltration zones
  
  
• Connects to existing stormwater systems via transition boxes
  
  
• Scalable using Hydroplank technology stormwater boxes
  
  

Real Municipal Use Cases

• City Parks: Drain turf and mulch without disrupting surface layout
  
  
• Road Shoulders: Capture runoff without culvert construction
  
  
• Facilities: Redirect rooftop and parking lot water
  
  
• Bike Trails/Greenways: Maintain ADA compliance with dry, safe surfaces
  
  

Supporting ESG and Grant-Funded Projects

Hydro Fix aligns with ESG pillars:

• E – Environmental: Recycled content, reduced emissions
  
  
• S – Social: Safer public spaces, fewer flooding complaints
  
  
• G – Governance: Easier reporting on capital improvement metrics
  
  

Ideal for:

• Green infrastructure grants
  
  
• LEED-eligible public building projects
  
  
• Resilience task force initiatives
