Hydro International has sealed a strategic business partnership with the leading Russian water engineering company Ecoline Ltd to supply its innovative stormwater management and treatment products in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Already Hydro has shipped the first €200,000 order to pilot its Stormcell® cellular block stormwater storage system on the high-profile Zhigulevskaya Valley high-technology business park in the Russian city of Togliatti, which showcases innovative new technologies. It is the first installation of Hydro’s no-power, low maintenance Stormcell® storage system, in Eastern Europe.

“Hydro has set out ambitious plans for international growth and we are seeking out the best water engineering partners to work with around the world. With its rapidly-growing construction sector and developing economy, Russia has the potential to be one of our most significant business territories in future,” said Clive Evans, International Business Director of Hydro International.

“We are delighted to be working with Ecoline Ltd, who are without doubt one of the largest and most progressive companies for water management and treatment in the Eastern European region.”

Established in 1998, Ecoline Ltd is one of Russia’s leading companies for the design and delivery of water and wastewater solutions. Ecoline has been appointed distributor for all Hydro’s Stormwater products including the Hydro-Brake Optimum®, Stormcell® stormwater storage and Downstream Defender® advanced hydrodynamic separator.

Mr Sergey Markov, Managing Director of Ecoline said: “We recognised Hydro International as a technology leader in storage and treatment of surface water, and in particular for underground storage systems to combat urban flooding and protect water treatment plants. Hydro’s products are already proven in the UK and USA.

“Our partnership has already resulted in the successful implementation of a project for the Zhigulevskaya Valley Technical Park for the Russian Federation.”

Some 1,200 cubic metres of Hydro Stormcell®have been supplied to provide at-source stormwater attenuation and infiltration for the model science and technology park. The park project is funded with a 4 billion Rouble investment from the Russian Government as part of investment plans to develop the urban district of Togliatti over the next 10 years and develop international business links.
