The Atlantis® Matrix® / D-Raintank® installation consisted of a 60.27 m³ (2128 cf) detention tank installed underneath a parking lot. The design and location of the tank was based on the strength of the Atlantis® Matrix® / D-Raintank® modules, which due to an internal vertical baffle system, supports heavy vehicle loading with ease.

Some of the collected storm water will ex-filtrate into the ground through the surrounding slightly permeable native soil. The remaining water will drain into the existing municipal storm sewers through a controlled outlet. The modular design and compact footprint makes it ideal and cost effective for all types of applications.
