1
Protects foundations
Reduces water pressure around building foundations, safeguarding structures from water-related damage and maintaining integrity over time.
2
Prevents water accumulation
Channels water away from problem areas, preventing accumulation that could lead to erosion or water intrusion.
3
Extends structural lifespan
By managing hydrostatic pressure, GEPS helps extend the lifespan of nearby infrastructure by reducing moisture-related wear and tear.

Hydrostatic pressure reduction
How GEPS outperforms traditional hydrostatic pressure reduction solutions
Feature | Exlterra | Traditional Solutions |
---|---|---|
Consistency in performance | Effective in varied soil conditions | Performance often variable with soil types |
Environmental impact | Passive design supports natural water movement | Mechanical systems can disturb soil ecology |
Pressure reduction | Channels water away from structures naturally | Often requires pumps or drainage systems |
Foundation protection | Reduces water pressure on foundations | Limited impact, water pressure remains |
Energy independence | Operates with no power requirements | Regular energy input needed to function |
Flood risk mitigation | Prevents water buildup near structures | Prone to frequent pooling and flooding risks |
Landscape preservation | Subsurface installation leaves landscape intact | Surface installations disrupt landscape |
Maintenance-free | Requires minimal to no maintenance | Needs frequent maintenance and monitoring |
Exlterra GEPS design
The roots of soil health
Precision-engineered to use nature's forces
Exlterra’s GEPS units are designed to work with nature, using durable, chemically neutral polyethylene for long-lasting, eco-friendly performance.
Modular in design, they come in various lengths to address specific site needs with precision.
GEPS relies on a passive energy system that uses natural soil pressures to drive water infiltration, enhancing groundwater recharge without external power.
The compact, cylindrical units are installed 2 feet below the surface, blending seamlessly into the landscape without disturbing plants or infrastructure.
Built to withstand diverse ground conditions, GEPS offers a reliable, sustainable solution for water management and soil health.
Durable polyethylene build
Crafted from chemically inert polyethylene, GEPS units are long-lasting and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring durability in varied climates and soil conditions.
Modular design for flexibility
GEPS units come in multiple lengths, allowing tailored installation patterns that adapt to specific site requirements for optimal soil hydration and stability.
Passive energy activation
The unit’s internal structure harnesses natural soil forces, enabling energy-free water movement for efficient groundwater recharge and moisture control.
Compact profile for seamless installation
With a slim, cylindrical form, GEPS units install just below the surface, allowing integration into the landscape without disrupting existing vegetation or infrastructure.
Built for underground durability
Remain leak-free and effective throughout their entire lifespan.
Wide temperature range
Operates reliably from -20°F to 170°F (-29°C to 76°C)
Different lengths available
GEPS units range from 5 to 40 feet (1.5 to 12 meters) long.
Minimal installation depth
Installs just 1 to 1.64 feet (30 to 50 cm) below ground.
