Alternative StormTank Design Cuts Costs and Footprint During the design/review phase, StormTank proposed an alternate design that included a 36-inch-tall Module 25 Series system for rainwater harvesting, proposing that the owner could reuse the stormwater runoff instead of treating it. The City of Charlotte saw the cost savings and ultimately approved the design and eliminated ...
An engineering firm was tasked with developing an efficient solution for monitoring water levels within an infiltration trench as part of a stormwater management system. The trench, integrated with R-Tanks, collects and stores stormwater, reducing runoff and flood risks by facilitating groundwater infiltration. ...
Catherines, Ontario, Canada Project Details: Rainwater harvesting tank for a retirement village Completion Date: August 2004 An Atlantis Stormwater Management System has been installed at Heildelburg Retirement Village Site in St. ...

Application: Stormwater Harvesting Location: Altona Green Reserve, Hobsons Bay Council. ...
To provide an active recreational area for the public and a residential development that incorporates high environmental standards, chiefly through retention and reuse of ...
The AtlantisMatrix modules extend 3m (10ft)wide under the swale for 110m (360ft). Water collected by the swale is collected in a stormwater harvesting tank located adjacent to the north-western corner of the playing field. Perforated corrugated plastic pipes used as subsurface drainage pipes extend for 1560m (5110ft) is also ...
Constant land development is leading to more impervious surfaces being developed which, in turn, leaves less natural soil available for stormwater to soak into. This results in higher runoff rates, increased flooding, and increases likelihood of stormwater collecting harmful pollutants along its journey to our waterways. ...
Managing waste is a complicated process that involves daily pickup schedules, trucking logistics, and sorting facilities. Waste management companies must deal with millions of tons of garbage every year. As this number increases, simple solutions are no longer sustainable. This increasing complexity requires new solutions. Embracing artificial intelligence technology will help improve the ...
The concept of WSUD was developed in Australia in the early 1990s as a move toward sustainable drainage systems for stormwater and away from traditional infrastructure strategies. WSUD is an alternative or adjunct to traditional water management in large cities, which usually relies on large-scale, centralized infrastructure and expensive pipe networks. ...
Can managed aquifer recharge slow the land subsidence that threatens the city’s infrastructure? Before the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán fell to the Spaniards, it was an island on flood-prone Lake Texcoco. Spain founded Mexico City on its ruins and over the centuries drained most of the lake to provide more land for growth. In the late 19th century, officials began to notice that ...
McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd, specified this innovative SWM System for a commercial development in Langley. The system was installed in July 2005. ...
Challenge A coal fired power plant needed an upgraded stormwater treatment system to properly deal with high levels of coal ash (from coal pile run-off), solids, and oil prior to discharge. The plant had previously collected run-off and stormwater into in-ground basins that were then pumped through a coalescing (CPI) oil/water separator. ...
The ability to mimic natural drainage and ground water processes, and deal with storm water at its source, allows Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to be more efficient and sustainable. So what is holding them back? Sustainable drainage systems currently exist in construction guidance rather than policy, and does not reduce the costs associated with building properties, so it is not always ...
Issues and Challenges: Turbid construction stormwater. No on-site collection basins or management options. Diminished site access. ...
Strategically placed rain gardens collect dirty stormwater to grow new, carbon-absorbing life; green roofs are reducing the need for air conditioning. New smart technology allows cities to collect data on everything from traffic patterns to waste volume so local leaders can act on that data. ...
Problem: Brevard County converted two borrow pits into retention ponds for polluted stormwater collected from the Pine Island Canal. This waterway collects stormwater from a 5,970 acre drainage basin, including citrus groves and agricultural land, and deposits it into the Indian River. ...
MS4s must be designed or used to collect or convey stormwater, via systems like storm drains and pipes, and cannot be combined with any sewers, sewage treatment plants, or publicly owned treatment works. ...
