Tired of Your Stormwater Controls Not Performing to Your Standard?
FocalPoint is a high-performance biofiltration system designed to maximize lot yield, cut costs, and meet green infrastructure goals.
Proven. Scalable. Guaranteed.
Build More. Save Costs. Look Better.
WHY ENGINEERS NEED FOCALPOINT
Engineers should use FocalPoint High-Performance Modular Biofiltration Systems (HPMBS) because it offers a highly efficient, space-saving, and cost-effective stormwater management solution that enhances site development potential. Unlike traditional detention ponds, FocalPoint requires up to 30 times less space while maintaining high infiltration rates and guaranteed performance through rigorous post-construction verification. Its modular design provides flexibility in addressing water quality and volume requirements, integrating seamlessly with other Low Impact Development (LID) solutions like bioswales and permeable pavement. Additionally, the system supports sustainable urban development by enabling green streets and maximizing lot yield, ultimately increasing property value and long-term revenue while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
MEET QUALITY AND VOLUME REQUIREMENTS
The FocalPoint HPMBS is a combination of a high performance, open cell underdrain, a clog-proof bridging mesh, bridging stone, and a high performance biofiltration media that flows at a rate of over 100” per hour. What this unique combination of parts creates is that FocalPoint’s modular design delivers unmatched flexibility in meeting both water quality and volume control requirements. It integrates effortlessly with Low Impact Development (LID) strategies such as bioswales, bioretention, and stormwater planters.
SAVE COSTS AND VALUABLE REAL ESTATE
FocalPoint is a high-performance bioretention system that treats large runoff volumes in tight spaces. With infiltration rates of 100″/hr or greater, its engineered soil and modular design drastically reduce footprint, delivering reliable performance in a small package reducing upfront construction costs as well as maintenance costs.
MAXIMIZE LOT YIELD
When used in conjunction with complimentary stormwater management solutions, such as bioswales, permeable pavement, and raingardens, FocalPoint creates the ability for developers, architects and engineers to decrease a property’s surface storage volume requirements and increase developable land. Subsequently, with more developed, property owners can increase long-term revenue and/or property value.
Particularly in rural communities, use FocalPoint as part of a distributed detention strategy to extend time of concentration and lower peak flows—reducing required detention volume by 20–50% while meeting water quality goals.
More space. More homes. More value.
OVERCOME URBAN CONSTRAINTS
FocalPoint unlocks more usable space by working seamlessly with other stormwater solutions like underground detention and large bioretention cells. In urban developments, pair FocalPoint with modular underground detention to treat runoff before storage, reducing the surface footprint of your stormwater infrastructure and freeing up premium land for development.

FocalPoint High-Performance Modular Biofiltration System (HPMBS) is a scalable biofiltration system which combines the efficiency of high flow rate engineered soils with the durability and modularity of a highly pervious expandable underdrain/storage/infiltration system. The modular FocalPoint HPMBS is a complete, integrated system with a demanding specification that insures functionality, performance and maintainability. With rigorous quality assurance standards and post-construction in-situ performance verification, FocalPoint HPMBS provides guaranteed performance.
The FocalPoint’s modular underdrain, unlike a traditional perforated pipe, not only supports the flow rate of the media, but can be expanded beyond the footprint of the media bed to provide unlimited underground detention, infiltration and/or storage for water reuse/infiltration.
In addition, when used in conjunction with complimentary stormwater management solutions, such as bioswales, permeable pavement, and raingardens, FocalPoint creates the ability for developers, architects and engineers to decrease a property’s surface storage volume requirements and increase lot yield. Subsequently, more land can be developed, increasing long-term revenue and property value.
