System Overview
Freno is a pre-cast modular system that allows rapid construction of rain gardens that can serve
as bio-retention areas.
• The system can be installed using light equipment. System components require equipment
with a lifting capacity of ______lbs. Many Compact Excavators and Skid-Steer Loaders are
well suited to this task. Typically a two man crew is all that is required to install the system
(one machine operator and one laborer).
• Each Freno module has built-in connection inserts that allow easy attachment to lifting
equipment using 3/4” common thread bolts.
• The Freno system can be built in a variety configurations using a limited number of modules
that are mechanically connected using stainless steel rods.
• No concrete footing is required. The system components are installed on a compacted base
material footing.
• Because Freno Components are produced in a controlled factory environment, structural and
aesthetic quality control is assured.
