Multi Layer Capability For Sites With Tight Footprints

StormChamber 4 Layer Installation

StormChamber, by HydroLogic Solutions, after many 2 and 3 layer installations, recently installed its first 4 layer system in Houston, Texas for Community Self Storage.

Stormwater Conveyance

Problem:

Little area was available to accommodate an approximate 25,000 cubic foot retention system. Therefore the engineer and owner were looking at concrete vaults, but were forced to seek out a lower cost solution.

Solution:

Construction EcoServices, the local StormChamber distributor, was able to document, from independent testing data and existing 3 layer systems, that the 4 layered StormChamber system would exceed the loading requirements and was significantly less expensive.

Not only was it less expensive than the concrete vault, but it also was able to fit within the small footprint because it could be placed in four layers. This was possible only because the system is capable of supporting more than four times the H-20 Wheel Load Rating (over 32,000 lb per sq ft), as documented by independent laboratory testing.

Results

The StormChamber system was able to accommodate the required 25,000 cubic feet of storage within a 126 ft by 33 ft area (4,158 sq ft total)

Testimonial

  • “Because we have installed several StormChamber systems, a lot of engineers have asked for advice on competing plastic chambers. We have always recommended the StormChambers. They far exceed the competition on cost and ease and speed of installation.”

    Dean Clark General Manager, SECO, LLC, Chelton, WA

  • “Much less expensive and much quicker and easier to install than the 64″ pipe originally speced for the project.”

    Joe Szabo Owner, J&R underground contractors, Milan, MI

  • “Significantly faster and easier to install than pipe. Significantly less staging room needed and a lot fewer trucks to receive and unload.” (The equivalent of 213 LF of pipe nest on one pallet, 1,913 LF on one truck.)

    Bob Dawson Owner, Dawson Company, Woodbridge, VA

  • “We have installed several StormChamber systems because we find them to be a lot less expensive and quicker to install than the competing systems and we can install them in two layers on very confined sites.”

    Ed Shaw Shaw Construction, Reno, NV

  • “We were surprised by the ease of use of the system and greatly appreciated support provided. We are already looking forward to building our next StormChamber project!”

    Erik Gervais PE, Constructions GFL, Brossard, QC

  • The Loudon One project in Ashburn, VA

    “I also like that it can be cleaned by air vacuuming via inspection /cleanout ports instead of using water. Anytime you have to clean something with water, then you have to have a truck that collects the water and the sediments in it. Depending on where you can dump that, it can get much more costly as opposed to going out with a vacuum truck.”

    Steve Pandish Director of Water Resources for the engineering firm of William H. Gordon Associates in Chantilly, Virginia

  • HUGO SIMS METAL RECYCLING FACILITY IN THE BRONX, NY

    “The choice of StormChambers met the design requirements for strength in such a way that the chambers could be stacked three deep with 30 feet of cover, if needed. Strong enough to sustain the impact of 18-wheelers loaded with steel. They also were 30 percent more cost-effective than other options.”

    Dr. Paul Mankiewicz hydrologist and consultant to the City of New York on storm water and related issues and executive director of the not-for-profit Gaia Institute in the Bronx, NY

  • Double-stacked system in Tukwilla, WA

    “It was easy. There were no difficulties once the owner decided on the StormChamber system. The project is holding up to heavy traffic, pump tracks, and cranes.”

    Tom Radice Abbot Construction

  • Charles-Lemoyne Hospital, Greenfield Park, Quebec

    "We were amazed by the simplicity of this system and have appreciated the support from the Soleno team during the entire project. We are already looking forward to designing another project using the StormChamber!"
