StormTrap provides the underground storm water detention systems you need to manage and control the volume and discharge timing of storm water runoff. These solutions are created to store runoff in large underground chambers for a given period of time before it is released at a controlled rate. This helps to mitigate many of the harmful effects of high volumes of runoff, such as erosion and flooding.

Kansas school learns how one storm water system can replace three

To meet the storm water management requirements for a new addition to the Indian Woods Middle School in Shawnee Mission, Kan., an underground detention system was constructed. The original design called for three storm water treatment units to meet a local ordinance because the 16,000-sq-ft proposed building addition along with sidewalks exceeded the 5,000-sq-ft threshold outlined in the Overland Park (Kan.) municipal code. Also, the system had to meet regional environmental requirements.

Just one underground detention system was needed due to the use of large-diameter corrugated HDPE pipe.

A total of 1,440 linear ft of N-12 watertight HDPE pipe from ADS was used for the underground system.

The underground storm water management system measures 130 ft wide by 154 ft long.

Malden, Mass., park project utilizes storm water chambers to meet state and local requirements

Ground was recently broken for the new South Broadway Park, an improvement to a public park where generations of Malden, Mass., youth have played Babe Ruth League Baseball, youth lacrosse, youth soccer and other sports. The Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA), a quasi-public agency within the City of Malden, brought the public and private sectors together to create a financing plan to fund this multimillion-dollar improvement project.

The Foothill Gold Line (also known as the Gold Line Foothill Extension) is a 24-mile extension of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Gold Line light-rail corridor that will run east from the Gold Line’s current terminus in Pasadena, Calif., through the “Foothill Cities” of Los Angeles County into San Bernardino County. The extension will go a long way to address the dire traffic challenges that keep Southern Californians stuck on freeways for hours each day.

It was originally opened in 1957, and today it operates as part of the Lower Merion School District in Montgomery County, Pa. Although the facility consists of 31 classrooms, the elementary school found itself unable to support anticipated population growth.

Sediment basins have long been the primary means of providing sediment control on larger construction sites and have generally been accepted as effective. In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized a way to significantly improve sediment basin trapping efficiency by requiring the basins to utilize an outlet that discharges from the surface. The most common and cost-effective method is to utilize a floating pond skimmer. Skimmers have been shown to increase the sediment trapping efficiency of sediment basins by 40% or more.

To meet the urgent storm water management needs of neighborhoods in the nation’s capital, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) needed a technical approach that combined existing historic facilities with new infrastructure. The McMillan Stormwater Storage Project not only provided an environmentally friendly solution that reduced capital costs, it also was managed under busy city streets to minimize disruption while providing flood protection and water quality benefits.

The high-capacity StormChamber SC-44 HDPE chamber offers the benefit of minimizing project costs by maximizing storage volume in a small footprint. It is suitable for high-volume storm water management systems due primarily to its strength and design flexibility. It exceeds the ASTM HS-20/HL93 loading requirement by over 2.5 times (over 20,000 lb/sq ft).

Filterra is an engineered biofiltration device with components that make it similar to bioretention in pollutant removal and application, but it has been optimized for high volume/flow treatment in a compact system. Its small footprint allows it to be used on highly developed sites such as landscaped areas, parking lots and streetscapes. It can be used alone or in combination with perforated pipes or chambers to optimize runoff reduction.
