ABOUT US :
F-Reg solutions are designed to combat flooding and waste discharge in cities caused by overflowing sewage systems during heavy rainfall. As a result of new waterproofing and climate change, wastewater and rainwater collection networks are now often undersized in historic areas. As a result, they tend to saturate and overflow with effluent during rainfall, causing urban flooding and, above all, frequent pollution that degrades the biodiversity of our natural environments. Every year in Europe, flooding’s causes million worth damage (13 Billion €/year in Europe) and our cities are dealing with important risks of pollutions caused by these flooding’s. The authorities are often trying to compensate these problems with large and expensive retention tanks. To counter these phenomena, F-Reg has patented a solution that turns our networks into regulating bodies by mobilizing water collection pipes for storage, thus smoothing the devastating peak flows generated by storms and preventing overflows. Today, F-Reg markets a range of solutions to meet the different needs of local authorities: stand-alone hydrodynamic valves, hydrodynamic regulating-controlled flow valves, tilting weirs, macro-waste traps and more. The company is involved in projects from A to Z: from the study to analyze project needs (eligibility, sizing, location) through its engineering and design department, to custom 3D design, material manufacturing and finally installation of the solutions. The solutions created by F-Reg not only save local authorities money, but also help them make a commitment to the environment. In fact, the valves designed by F-Reg’s teams are much less expensive to install than rainwater retention basins and require no land. Installation is therefore much simpler, quicker, more eco-friendly, and more sustainable. F-reg solutions also improve the carbon footprint compared with the installation of a retention basin.
The flovalv, a solution patented by F-Reg, uses sewer pipes as a storage area to regulate peak flows of stormwater and thus limit the damage caused by overflows. F-Reg solutions therefore represent an economic and environmental challenge for local authorities. Economical, because our solutions are much less costly than the creation of retention tanks and the purchase of land, and environmental, because they help reduce urban flooding and the discharge of waste into natural landscapes.
It is controlled by the water height at upstream which generates the necessary force on the pneumatic cylinders, afterwards generates the opening. The water pressure drives the valve and controls its flow, without electricity or supervision. Very economic and requires little maintenance.
When it rains, the garbage on the ground in our streets is often carried into our stormwater systems by runoff, and is therefore very likely to end up directly in our rivers, seas and oceans.
To further protect the environment, F-Reg has also developed solutions to combat the discharge of macro-waste into the natural environment. The macro-waste trap is a simple solution placed in the sewer system or in an outfall, and is equipped with a net to capture all the pollutants that can circulate in sewer systems (wipes, cigarette butts, plastics, etc.). Our traps incorporate hydraulic intelligence (overflow, for example) to prevent overloading in the event of net clogging.
F-Reg also intervenes upstream, before waste enters the sewer system, to limit the impact on the natural environment.
Our latest range of solutions consists of anti-waste baskets that can be placed directly in roadway drains to capture waste before it reaches the stormwater networks. These baskets, made of stainless steel or aluminum, are custom-designed to fit any type of downspout. They enable us to combat cigarette butts and plastics before they start to disintegrate in the networks, further polluting our environment. They are easy to clean thanks to their handles, and extremely durable.
