In a world of climate extremes, wasting water through linear management belongs to the past: every drop must be valued, stored, and reused.
Rainup pro transforms urban landscapes through revolutionary water management solutions
Before our partner Permavoid started their mission, rainwater was quickly drained from streets, roofs, and other urban surfaces into underground sewer systems, and then discharged into rivers, lakes, or treatment plants. This approach treats rainwater mainly as waste to be removed as fast as possible. In addition to this, rooftops remained underutilized surfaces. They were typically designed only to shed water, feeding into the linear drainage system.
At Permavoid, they believe water should no longer be treated as waste to be drained away, but as a vital and valuable resource for the city. Our technology integrates water buffering and reuse into urban spaces, helping cities become more resilient, green, and livable.
They create smart water storage and management solutions in places where water is often overlooked:
- Rooftops – transforming unused surfaces into buffers that capture and store rainfall.
- Sports fields – keeping fields playable while retaining water for cooling and reuse.
- Urban trees – delivering water directly to root zones, improving tree health and cooling capacity.
- Private homes and neighborhoods – helping citizens manage rainwater locally and contribute to a resilient city.
Rainup Pro is ready to measure and monitor this water behavior!

Measuring = Knowing
Our sensor technology makes the invisible visible. By installing sensors under sports fields, in rooftop gardens, or within water storage systems, we provide real-time insight into water conditions:
- Soil and substrate moisture – know exactly how wet or dry the ground is.
- Shockpad saturation – monitor the water level and performance under sports surfaces.
- System water levels – track how much water is stored and available for reuse.
This real-time data empowers cities, sports clubs, and building owners to manage water proactively.
Together with Permavoid’s blue-green solutions, our sensors complete the picture:
from giving water a place in the city, to knowing exactly how it behaves.

With our sensor technology, the step beyond monitoring is active management. The system doesn’t just collect data, it responds intelligently:
- Measuring – sensors track soil moisture, shockpad saturation, and system water levels in real time.
- Knowing – users gain instant insight into water conditions, no longer guessing but relying on precise data.
- Managing – when thresholds are reached, the system takes action automatically.
Example: If the water level drops too low, the sensor triggers a signal to another source, such as a connected irrigation system or a connected Permavoid buffer, and automatically refills the water to the optimal level.
This closes the loop: from water storage, to water intelligence, to autonomous water management. It’s a complete solution that ensures urban water is always in balance, where and when it’s needed most.

Our technology goes beyond monitoring water levels, it connects real-time data with weather forecasts to enable smart decision-making.
- Measuring – sensors continuously track water levels, moisture, and system capacity.
- Knowing – users gain instant insight into the status of their green roofs, sports fields, or tree systems.
- Predicting – the system integrates weather forecasts, recognizing when heavy rainfall is expected.
- Controlling – users receive a notification or recommendation: for example, if a green roof is nearly full while a storm is forecasted, the system advises (or even automatically triggers) pre-draining. This way, the roof regains storage capacity to capture the incoming rain.
This step transforms water management into a predictive, adaptive system: not only storing and measuring water, but actively steering it to protect cities, reduce flood risk, and maximize reuse potential.
This is the city of the future: a healthy, green, and resilient urban environment where every water layer communicates. A place where rain is not waste, but a resource. Where storage, intelligence, and prediction work together to create balance.
A smart, livable city, prepared for what lies ahead for the next generation.
