Omni Infinity Media is 3x more effective than typical bioretention soils. It has long-lasting high porosity.

Omni Infinity Media consists of GEO — a highly porous, sterile, abundant geologic material — and BIO — naturally-occurring, laboratory-grown microbial community.

  • GEO makes up more than 95% of Omni Infinity Media and is used at variable depths from as little as 3 inches to over 6 feet to provide a healthy rooting environment. It has 76.3 – 85.0% porosity and exceptional water retention & infiltration, and its porosity remains >80% over time.

  • BIO is a thin top-dressing, applied at 1/4” depth over any depth GEO to grow a soil ecosystem. BIO introduces the building blocks of soil development, including more than 1,500 species of microbes.

  • Both GEO and BIO are made in America, peat free, and available nationwide with a short lead time.

  • More than 1,000 plant taxa are documented to have successfully grown in Omni Infinity Media. Research shows that biodiverse plantings (e.g. grasses and wildflowers versus sedum monoculture) manage more stormwater. Established vegetation can help prevent suspended solids, excess nutrients, and heavy metals from entering waterways.

Use of Omni Infinity Media has significantly reduced brownfield redevelopment costs, especially when a contaminated site needs to meet stormwater requirements. This green stormwater management solution can also eliminate expensive gray infrastructure like cisterns or detention basin risers.

Stormwater Management

Omni Infinity Media can be used for bioinfiltration & bioretention as a stormwater best management practice.

3X MORE STORMWATER

  • 76.3% to 85.0% porosity

  • Long-term high pore space

  • Rapid infiltration

  • Reduces surges to combined sewer systems

  • Reduces stormwater volume entering public infrastructure

MORE THAN 3x STORAGE

  • This assembly using OIM stores 18,837 cubic feet of stormwater.

  • If it were built with typical prepared soil, it would have stored 6,038 cubic feet of stormwater.

  • This Boston condominium’s green roof using Omni Infinity Media serves the building’s residential community as an amenity space and simultaneously functions as a stormwater retention BMP to meet Boston Water and Sewer Commission’s stormwater requirements.

    Bunker Hill

  • Use of Omni Infinity Media saved this project hundreds of thousands of dollars across the civil, environmental, and landscape budgets. All of the landscape on the 4-acre Morton Salt site is rooted in Omni Infinity Media, which manages all of the required stormwater and eliminated hauling of the in-situ soils.

    The Salt Shed

  • Omni Infinity Media was placed on top of this brownfield’s engineered barrier. The result is a lush garden that manages stormwater and creates habitat without impacting the site’s NFR (no further remediation) letter.
