The Underground Solution to Above-Ground Problems.
WHY ENGINEERS NEED GEPS
Engineers should choose GEPS because it provides a sustainable, cost-effective solution to persistent water management challenges. Unlike traditional stormwater systems that rely on energy-intensive pumps or large retention basins, GEPS harnesses natural soil movements to passively infiltrate and distribute water, reducing runoff and recharging groundwater. This means lower maintenance costs, no ongoing energy consumption, and enhanced soil stability—critical factors for long-term land resilience. Additionally, GEPS mitigates hydrostatic pressure, preventing damage to foundations, roads, and other infrastructure, ultimately extending the lifespan of built environments while reducing costly repairs.
THE VALUE OF GEPS
GEPS (Groundwater Energy-Passive System) is an innovative, energy-free solution that revolutionizes stormwater management by enhancing natural water infiltration and groundwater recharge. Acting like an artificial root system, GEPS units improve soil permeability, stabilize landscapes, and prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup, reducing erosion and structural damage. Designed for minimal site disruption, these durable, polyethylene units work passively with natural soil movements to channel water deep into the ground, ensuring sustainable hydration without external power or maintenance. By efficiently capturing and redistributing stormwater, GEPS supports resilient ecosystems, protects infrastructure, and offers a long-lasting, eco-friendly approach to soil and water management.

HOW DOES GEPS WORK?
GEPS works by taking advantage of natural soil movements. When placed into drilled holes, the GEPS units form a network beneath the topsoil, where soil expansion and contraction activate the system, creating a passive pumping action that moves water efficiently. Each unit punctures soil layers, breaking hydrostatic pressure and enabling water to disperse more easily, which reduces water buildup between layers and promotes faster infiltration. Once surface water enters the GEPS system, it is naturally distributed through soil capillary action, allowing water to reach even deeper soil levels. This process not only prepares the soil for future rain events but also provides an energy-free, low-impact method to manage and utilize stormwater effectively.
Top-down action
GEPS volumetrically distributes moisture within the ground, enhancing natural infiltration and directing moisture deep into the soil.
Bottom-up action
GEPS releases moisture upward during dry periods, maintaining soil health and stabilizing upper layers without additional water sources.
THE TAKEAWAYS OF GEPS
Hydrostatic Pressure Reduction – Prevents water buildup around structures, protecting foundations, roads, and retaining walls from water-related damage.
Sustainable Stormwater Management – Offers an eco-friendly alternative to retention ponds and energy-intensive drainage solutions.
Improved Soil Permeability – Enhances water absorption rates, preventing pooling and soil instability that can compromise structural integrity.
Flexible & Scalable Design – With modular installation, GEPS adapts to various site conditions, making it ideal for different terrains and climates.
Regulatory Compliance – Helps meet stormwater and environmental regulations by reducing runoff and supporting sustainable water practices.
By tackling these issues, GEPS provides a long-lasting, energy-free solution that enhances property value, improves infrastructure resilience, and supports sustainable land development.
