FocalPoint Biofiltration System
FocalPoint Biofiltration System
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.
Nexterra's FocalPoint® High Performance Modular Biofiltration System (HPMBS) is a high-performance stormwater management solution that combines advanced biofiltration media with modular, space-saving design. Engineered for reliability and flexibility, FocalPoint helps communities, developers, and municipalities achieve regulatory compliance, protect water resources, and maximize usable land while lowering construction and maintenance costs.
A High-Performance, Modular Biofiltration System
FocalPoint is a compact, scalable stormwater solution designed to work for your project from day one. By combining engineered soil media with a modular, high-capacity underdrain, FocalPoint delivers high performance filtration and infiltration, and superior water storage. Unlike traditional systems, its expandable underdrain offers unlimited underground detention and reuse potential, giving you confidence that your site will meet water quality and volume requirements today and in the future.
Whether you are planning new construction or upgrading existing infrastructure, FocalPoint integrates seamlessly with Low Impact Development (LID) best practices like swales, sidewalk planters, and vegetated areas. The result is a system that not only manages stormwater effectively but also enhances the appearance and value of your property.
Key Benefits of FocalPoint
FocalPoint adapts to a wide range of project conditions, from rural detention strategies to dense urban redevelopment. No matter the challenge, FocalPoint turns stormwater management into an opportunity for savings, growth, and cleaner water.
- Save Costs and Valuable Real Estate
FocalPoint treats large runoff volumes in tight spaces. With infiltration rates of 100 inches per hour or greater, its engineered soil and modular design drastically reduce footprint, lowering construction and maintenance costs so you can invest more in the parts of your project that matter most. - Maximize Lot Yield
By decreasing surface storage needs and increasing developable space, FocalPoint allows you to do more with your land. The result: greater long-term revenue, stronger property value, and a smarter return on your investment. - Support Rural Communities
Use FocalPoint as part of a distributed detention strategy to extend time of concentration and lower peak flows. This reduces required detention volume by 20 to 50 percent while protecting water quality for downstream communities. - Overcome Urban Constraints
In dense developments where every square foot matters, FocalPoint works seamlessly with underground detention and large bioretention cells. Treat runoff before storage to reduce surface footprint and free up premium land for development.
Nexterra's FocalPoint stands apart as a high-performance modular biofiltration system that redefines how sites handle stormwater. Certified by state agencies and validated through independent field studies, it delivers reliable pollutant removal, a dramatically smaller footprint, and cost savings that traditional bioretention cannot match. With construction-ready features and long-term adaptability, FocalPoint gives project teams a tool that performs in the field while minimizing expense and maximizing space.
Proven Performance You Can Count On
RIDEM certified, FocalPoint removes about 85 percent of total suspended solids, the fine particles that cloud and pollute stormwater. Field testing in Pittsburgh confirmed nearly identical results, with 86 percent solids removal along with measurable reductions in phosphorus and overall runoff volume. Backed by additional state approvals and NJCAT verification, FocalPoint consistently meets strict regulatory standards and delivers reliable water quality performance in real-world conditions.
Smaller Footprint, Bigger Savings
FocalPoint treats an acre of impervious surface in a footprint more than thirty times smaller than traditional bioretention, often cutting costs by fifty percent. That efficiency unlocks buildable acreage, increases project flexibility, and keeps budgets in line without sacrificing stormwater quality.
Designed for Real-World Sites
During construction, a built-in cap and seal keeps the engineered media protected so utilities and grading can move forward without setbacks from clogging or damage. Once the system is brought online, the open cell underdrain unlocks hidden capacity underground, delivering detention, infiltration, or reuse in a way that makes FocalPoint both powerful and compact.
Verified After Installation
Performance does not stop at commissioning. Each installation includes verification testing in the first months of operation, with recommended follow-ups to ensure compliance and efficiency year after year. Routine upkeep is straightforward and cost-effective, helping owners maintain performance over the system's life.
Built for Long-Term Resilience
FocalPoint adapts seamlessly to both new and retrofit projects, enabling communities to manage increasingly intense rainfall while still meeting water quality targets. The modular design expands capacity as needed, and its combination of aesthetics, performance, and certified results positions it as the next generation of green infrastructure.
Upstream & Downstream Allies of FocalPoint
- R-TankStores excess runoff and provides infiltration capacity, ensuring FocalPoint's treated water is effectively managed on site.
- Rain Guardian Captures trash and sediment at the inlet, protecting FocalPoint's media from clogging and extending its performance life.
- PreTX Removes sediment and pollutants upstream, delivering cleaner flows that allow FocalPoint to focus on fine filtration and nutrient removal.
