Commercial HydroBlox HydroPlanks – Solar & Wind Drainage Solution
High-Efficiency Water Management for Solar Fields, Wind Farms & Renewable Infrastructure
Solar and wind installations require stable ground conditions to maintain long-term performance and prevent structural issues. HydroBlox HydroPlanks provide a clog-resistant, low-maintenance drainage solution ideal for managing stormwater around solar arrays, wind turbine bases, access roads, and equipment pads.
Unlike traditional French drains, HydroPlanks install quickly without heavy excavation, gravel, or filter cloth—and they function effectively even in flat or low-slope areas. Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing Services installs HydroBlox HydroPlanks for renewable energy projects across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, delivering reliable stormwater control that protects your infrastructure and extends system lifespan.
Signs You Need HydroBlox HydroPlanks for Solar or Wind Sites
You may need an upgraded drainage solution if your renewable energy site shows:
- Standing water or ponding around solar panel rows
- Rutting, erosion, or soft ground on access roads or service paths
- Waterlogged ground compromising panel foundations or racking systems
- Drainage issues causing uneven settling of turbine pads
- Stormwater that flows unpredictably due to compacted soils
- Sediment-clogged trench drains or failed traditional French drains
- Soil instability or slope failure near equipment or cabling trenches
HydroPlanks create a stable drainage pathway that protects large-scale installations from water-related damage.
