Breaking new ground

GEPS® reframes the entire relationship between a resident's stormwater complaint and what a municipality can offer in response. Instead of telling a homeowner that the system cannot accept their water, municipalities can point to a solution that resolves the problem on-site, without adding a single gallon to the storm sewer system.

A passive, maintenance-free technology from Exlterra called the Groundwater Energy Passive System (GEPS®), addresses both of solar's major soil-related headaches: stormwater runoff driven by construction compaction and decreased permeable surface area, and long-term structural damage caused by uneven moisture distribution around panel footings.

If you've ever noticed cracks snaking across a basement wall, doors that suddenly won't close right, or a driveway that's heaved up in the middle of nowhere, you may have experienced one of the most costly and least-talked-about problems in construction: expansive clay heave. It's a problem that quietly destroys billions of dollars in homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure every year.

The hidden costs of waiting for radioactivity to fade away add up fast. So do the decades it takes for garbage to decompose in landfills. Exlterra's NSPS technology offers a practical solution to both problems, potentially revolutionizing how industries handle radioactive waste storage.

NSPS bridges the gap between particle physics and practical environmental cleanup. For years, positrons were mainly useful in research labs and hospitals. The idea that you could use them to clean up contaminated soil is relatively new, but it doesn't require any new physics or speculative science. It's just using what we already know about how antimatter behaves, how positrons interact with regular matter, and how energy affects radioactive atoms.

NSPS is a passive, energy-free system that targets contaminants at the atomic level, transforming harmful substances into safe, stable forms within the soil matrix.

At Exlterra, we’re proud to be applying GEPS (Groundwater Energy Passive System) to solve real, persistent challenges in stormwater infrastructure — not just on golf courses, but in critical detention ponds that struggle with standing water.

Exlterra is proud to announce the installation of GEPS on the first three greens at Golf de Neuchâtel, marking the beginning of a full deployment across all 18 greens over the next two years.

For the first time, a private vineyard has been planted in La Clusaz, France, thanks to the vision and determination of local resident Fabien Merotto. Owning a piece of land at the foot of the Aravis mountains—and being a devoted wine enthusiast—Fabien wondered: Could wine truly be grown at 4,000 feet in the French Alps?

Golf courses worldwide are facing increasing challenges related to water conservation, climate extremes, and the need for sustainable outdoor spaces. The Royal Antwerp Golf Club (RAGC), Belgium’s oldest club known for preserving and nurturing its heritage courses, has once again raised the bar – this time, as the first golf course in Belgium to install Exlterra's GEPS (Groundwater Energy Passive System).
