StormTech Advanced Drainage Systems: Know The Benefits
StormTech ADS, or StormTech chambers, are a type of stormwater management system commonly used in commercial building projects. They offer several benefits for stormwater management and water safety. Here are some key advantages:
- Stormwater Management: StormTech ads provide effective stormwater management by storing and infiltrating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces such as parking lots, rooftops, and roads. They act as underground detention or retention systems, preventing excessive stormwater runoff from overwhelming the local drainage system. This helps mitigate the risk of flooding and reduces the strain on municipal stormwater infrastructure.
- Water Quality Improvement: StormTech ads play a crucial role in improving water quality. As stormwater runoff passes through the chambers, it undergoes filtration and treatment. The chambers have engineered media or filtration systems that capture pollutants, sediments, and other contaminants present in the runoff. By removing these pollutants, StormTech ads help protect local water bodies, such as rivers and streams, from pollution and maintain better water quality.
- Space Efficiency: StormTech chambers are designed to maximize space utilization. Their underground installation allows for efficient land use, especially in commercial building projects where space is often limited. The chambers can be easily incorporated into site design, occupying less surface area compared to traditional stormwater management practices such as ponds or basins.
- Structural Integrity: StormTech ads are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other durable materials, providing excellent structural integrity. They can withstand heavy loads and vehicular traffic, making them suitable for commercial projects with parking lots and high-traffic areas. The chambers are designed to resist deformation, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
- Flexibility and Scalability: StormTech ads offer flexibility and scalability in stormwater management. They can be customized to meet specific project requirements, including sizing and layout. The modular design allows for easy expansion or modification of the system as the project evolves. This adaptability is particularly beneficial in commercial building projects, where site conditions and stormwater management needs can vary.
- Sustainability: StormTech ads align with sustainable development practices. By managing stormwater onsite and reducing the burden on municipal infrastructure, they contribute to a more sustainable approach to water management. Additionally, the pollutant removal capabilities of StormTech ads help protect ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and preserve the health of local water bodies.
