PRETX enables the simplified maintenance of biofiltration systems at the inlet in an accessible location with no special equipment required. Installation is simple and would be comparable to common catch basins and grates and requires no special tools or training.
Stormwater Experts Delivering Next Generation Products & Solutions Through a National Network of Stormwater Partners.
We do that by breaking through the obstacles to innovation inherent in this industry by providing innovators with a regionally focused, national network of Value-Added Resellers. Introducing new ideas and new technologies into a market requires deeply rooted local relationships and a highly collaborative, solution-focused sales approach which is generally missing in the stormwater industry. Convergent’s VARs step into the gap, delivering regionally viable solutions, no matter where you’re located.
“The biggest benefit to me, as a professional engineer, is the fact that these systems have a long and successful history. Each component of the FocalPoint system have years of testing and successful implementation behind it. This gives me peace of mind that my project will be successful for the long term. I want to be sure that the solution that I recommend to my clients and utilize in my designs are going to be right solution for the project and that includes lasting for a long time. FocalPoint gives me that peace of mind.”
“We selected the [Element1] media for our Bagby project that includes urban raingardens for several reasons. The predominant reason is due to the limited project right-of-way we had to select a biofiltration media that provides a high acceptance of infiltration in a limited area. Additionally the product is basically turnkey through design, construction and maintenance provided a fluid design process through the design and approval process. Finally I have a level of confidence working with Construction Eco Services that they not only have their product in consideration but think about what’s best for the project and our environment.”
“FocalPoint is one of the few products on the market that meets Harris County criteria for high infiltration rate media. Convergent Water Technologies guarantees the engineered media for one year and provides maintenance checks for one year. These are valuable services that alleviate some of the anxiety clients experience when piloting a new product.”
