Detention &
Infiltration

Detention

We can provide the underground stormwater detention system you need to manage and control the volume and discharge timing of stormwater runoff. These solutions were 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 stormwater runoff, such as erosion and flooding.

Infiltration

We offer customized underground stormwater retention systems to meet your individual needs. Our stormwater retention system provides an infiltration surface area that allows water to recharge back into the soil. This stormwater management system also provides some stormwater quality advantages because it will filter the runoff water through the native soil. This is an effective way to reduce any pollutants and contaminants in the stormwater runoff.

Here are some of the benefits you'll realize with the StormTrap system:

Modular design allows system to be quickly and easily customized to meet each project’s requirements.
Engineered design maximizes storage volume while minimizing project’s footprint and cost.
Total void storage for easy maintenance
Innovative design allows for a quick and efficient installation
HS-20, HS-25 and fire truck loading
Lifetime warranty
Minimum 6" Cover
High strength precast concrete
Manufactured in a NPCA (National Precast Concrete Association) certified facility
Peace of mind for engineers, owners and developers

Precast Systems for Stormwater Detention

Our CON/SPANand CON/STORM concrete stormwater detention solutions provide the versatility to accommodate any footprint need. The patented 3-sided arch structure is installed on a precast continuous foundation ensuring structural integrity and eliminating differential settlement.

Precast Systems for Stormwater Infiltration

Our CON/SPAN and CON/STORM concrete stormwater detention solutions can be installed on strip footings to allow water to percolate into the soil for infiltration applications.

MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase the demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials. The sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project.

Potential Contributions: CONTECH Concrete Structures

Many CONTECH vendors use recycled materials in their concrete mixes
Contact your local CONTECH representative for project specific information.

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
