Thirty years ago, EnviroPod™ began with a simple but ambitious idea: protect storm drains at the source.
What started as a single product developed by two founders straight out of university has grown into a globally recognised stormwater technology company — with installations across municipalities, industrial facilities, and infrastructure networks around the world.

In the mid-1990s, stormwater management was undergoing change. Awareness of pollution entering waterways through storm drains was increasing, yet practical solutions for capturing pollutants at the source were limited.
Recognising this gap, the founders of EnviroPod focused on a new approach: designing an insert that could be retrofitted directly into existing catch basins — allowing stormwater treatment without major infrastructure replacement.
This innovation led to the first patented catch basin insert technology of its kind.
Rather than building large downstream treatment systems, the idea was simple:
Treat stormwater where it enters the network.
What began as a single engineered solution has evolved into a broader family of stormwater technologies.
Over three decades, EnviroPod has expanded from its original catch basin insert into a suite of at-source treatment solutions designed to address real-world challenges faced by municipalities, engineers, and industry:
Today, EnviroPod systems are installed across North America, Australasia, and beyond — helping communities protect waterways while working within existing infrastructure constraints.
A defining part of the EnviroPod journey has been its engineering-first approach.
From early product development through to independent testing, hydraulic performance validation, and ongoing product innovation, the company has focused on solutions that work in real-world conditions — not just in theory.
This practical focus continues to shape how new technologies are designed and delivered.
EnviroPod now forms part of the Stormwater360 Group ecosystem, supporting a wider portfolio of stormwater treatment solutions and engineering expertise.
While EnviroPod represents the global technology platform, Stormwater360 remains the New Zealand-based brand delivering local expertise and integrated stormwater solutions.
Together, these brands reflect a shared commitment:
Smarter stormwater management through practical, engineered solutions.
