<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -<strong>Vault</strong><br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -<strong>Vault</strong> is an innovative new system which combines our high performance porous surfacings <strong>KBI</strong><br />
TM<br />
TM<br />
<strong>Flexi</strong> -Pave and <strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Stone with the high strength SEL Permavoid shallow attenuation sub-base<br />
replacement system to provide an unrivalled solution for surface water runoff catchment, attenuation and<br />
conveyance.<br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Pave<br />
The grinding down of used car tyres results in 3-6mm<br />
rubber granules that form the basis of the product <strong>KBI</strong><br />
TM<br />
<strong>Flexi</strong> -Pave. The rubber granules are mixed with multifaceted<br />
3-6mm stone granules and a unique<br />
polyurethane bonding agent. Once mixed, the product is<br />
moisture cured and ready to use within 24hrs.<br />

SEL Permavoid<br />
The SEL Permavoid is a modular interlocking<br />
plastic surface water storage system designed for<br />
use as a combined drainage component and subbase<br />
replacement system. It has exceptionally high<br />
compressive strength and bending resistance within<br />
joints and creates a horizontal structural ‘raft’ within<br />
the pavement.<br />

<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Stone<br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Stone is a decorative porous paving system. It<br />
is available in the following formats:<br />
<br />
<br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Stone HDST 50 - installed in one part at<br />
40mm thickness directly on to the SEL Permavoid.<br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Stone HDST 25 - installed in one part at<br />
20mm thickness directly on to the SEL Permavoid.<br />
Both trademarked formats require a nominal 2-6mm<br />
agregate and are bound together using <strong>KBI</strong>’s proprietary<br />
binding agent XFP78. The products are solely sourced<br />
and installed by <strong>KBI</strong> UK Ltd.<br />

<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -<strong>Vault</strong> Linear Storage can be used where<br />
higher storage volumes are required. The highly porous<br />
TM<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -Pave surfacing will allow rainfall to pass<br />
straight through the surfacing into the underlying SEL<br />
Permavoid storage. The system is designed to be<br />
installed at shallow depths in multiple layers, each<br />
150mm deep.<br />

TM<br />
Using <strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -<strong>Vault</strong> in a car park will allow rainfall to pass<br />
straight through the surfacing into the underlying SEL Permavoid<br />
storage.<br />
Not only can you eliminate standing water but you can also provide<br />
attenuation at source. The stored surface water can be infiltrated<br />
or attenuated for release to a local watercourse or sewer.<br />
TM<br />
The <strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong> -<strong>Vault</strong> is an ideal solution where a site has<br />
contamination issues, high water table, shallow rock head or<br />
unstable soils.<br />

About <strong>KBI</strong> UK Ltd<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> was founded in the USA over 15 years ago. Its mission was to utilise high volumes of waste<br />
tyres through the design and engineering of innovative products and solutions that could be<br />
applied in commercial, residential, industrial and local authority scenarios. Vast amounts of the<br />
worlds used car tyres are sent to landfill or used to fire incinerators for power-derived fuels.<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> UK Ltd was formed in 2010 to provide, supply and install the products manufactured using<br />
the <strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong>-Process to the UK market. With many local authorities looking for greener ways to<br />
re-generate traditionally paved or urbanised surfaces, combined with commercial contractors<br />
looking to develop sustainable urban drainage systems, the materials generated using the <strong>KBI</strong><br />
<strong>Flexi</strong>-Process have become firmly established across a broad spectrum of construction sectors.<br />
<strong>KBI</strong> <strong>Flexi</strong><br />

SEL specialise in the provision of solutions and products for Surface Water<br />
Drainage (SuDS). Our business is focused on using innovative value-engineered<br />
solutions.<br />
www.selel.co.uk<br />
The company has been involved with sustainable drainage for over 15 years and<br />
have partnered with <strong>KBI</strong> UK Ltd to help develop their specific suds ranges. SEL's<br />
expertise had led to involvement in numerous CIRIA projects and the publication<br />
of several white papers.<br />
