StormTech and Stormwater Quality

StormTech’s Isolator® Row is a row of chambers wrapped in a geotextile which filters the stormwater

trapping pollutants in the row. The Isolator Row Plus provides a way to inspect and maintain the system

ISOLATOR ROW PLUS

This system achieves a removal efficiency of 80% for TSS which meets most municipal

recommended levels for water quality treatment.

  • The frequency of inspection and maintenance varies by location. Contact StormTech for assistance with inspection and maintenance scheduling.

    StormTech and Recycled Materials

    Recycled Concrete Structural Backfill

  • Thermoplastic structures utilize aggregate for conveyance, strength and volume.

  • Recycled, crushed concrete can be an excellent structural backfill.

  • The StormTech chamber system can connect with roof downspouts for commercial and residential applications.

    Bioretention

  • Pollutant Removal – TSS, Phosphorous, Metals, Nitrogen, Hydrocarbons

  • Groundwater recharge

  • No standing water (proper design will allow water to infiltrate in a specified amount of time)

  • Preserve pre-development hydrologic cycle

  • Efficient land use & Aesthetics

    Hydraulics:

    • Soil infiltration rate

    • Design flow rate (potential for erosion)

    • Maximum ponding depth in rain garden

    • Optional overflow bypass

    • Proximity to buildings

    • Flood mitigation
    • Reduce runoff temperature

    Maintenance

  • Routine vacuum sweeping and/or jet hosing is required to prevent clogging which can reduce the infiltration rate of the pervious pavement.

  • Installation of pervious pavement must be staged so no erosion or sediment debris enters pavement.

    StormTech with Pervious Pavement

  • StormTech Chamber provides 100% void,

    increasing storage volume

  • Bare chamber volume allows increased storage. Relying only on stone does not provide long-term factor of safety.

  • Enables the use of pervious pavement in areas with low soil permeability.

  • Reduced footprint

  • Allows pretreatment in conjunction with Isolator Row Plus

General Design Considerations

Always refer to local design specifications for

pervious pavement design guidelines.

Save Valuable Land and Protect Water Resources

StormTech + Green Infrastructure Benefits

When used together, StormTech chambers and green infrastructure offer the most cost-effective method to save valuable land and protect water resources. Together they allow for a design that both treats a required water quality volume, while also providing attenuation for peak flow volumes.
