Underground Storm Water Management System- Brochure

S a n D i e g o S e a t t l e V a n c o u v e r E d m o n t o n C a l g a r y T o r o n t oThe Atlantis® D-Raintank® (Matrix®) is a modular underground tank system that provides a highly efficient method to manage storm water. The modular design can be used in post development conditions to detain storm water for quantity control, allow for rainwater harvesting, and provide an opportunity for infiltration in permeable soils for groundwater recharge.CONTROL WATER RUNOFF AND HELP RESTORE WATER BALANCEMost regulatory agencies require the controlled release of storm water from development sites to minimize downstream infrastructure costs and prevent flooding of downstream lands. To manage this runoff, the designer can store the water and release it slowly into the sewer system or encourage the water to seep back into the ground, or provide a combination of the two. This is particularly important in green field sites that have been developed with impermeable areas such as parking lots, driveways, roads, etc.The Atlantis® D-Raintank® (Matrix®) system will help minimize the impact of development on the water balance condition by providing a storage system that allows for the controlled release and infiltration of storm water. www.layfieldgroup.com Storm Water management (800) 840-2884 Canada (800) 796-6868 United StatesS a n D i e g o S e a t t l e V a n c o u v e r E d m o n t o n C a l g a r y T o r o n t oUnderground Storm Water Management SystemCustom designed strength for loads up to 22 PSI (15.5 t/m2)detention • rainWater harveSting • infiltrationAtlantis® D-Raintank® underground storm storage systemwww.layfieldgroup.com (800) 840-2884 Canada (800) 796-6868 United StatesFor more information on any of Layfield’s storm water management products, please contact your local Layfield representativeHIGH WATER STORAGE CAPACITYAtlantis® D-Raintank® provides a void space of over 90% compared to less than 20% in typical aggregate trenches. Consequently the Atlantis® system achieves the same storage capacity as an aggregate trench with a smaller footprint area. Using an Atlantis® system equates to cost savings as a result of reduced installation time, excavation volume, and material costs relative to other storm water chambers.THE MODULAR ADVANTAGEThe Atlantis® D-Raintank® system can be configured into various shapes to easily integrate with underground utilities. With Atlantis® you can easily create a variety of shapes and sizes to suit specific site requirements and its lightweight design eases installation. When properly designed, the potential for sediment build-up is minimized in the Atlantis® system, contrary to the clogging that is characteristic of aggregate based approaches.RECLAIM LAND AND PUT IT INTO PRODUCTIVE USEThe new Atlantis® D-Raintank® underground storm water storage system allows the developer to reclaim more developable land that would otherwise be taken up by ponds and ditches. The Atlantis® system can be placed beneath parking lots, roadways, or park areas.Rainwater Harvesting DetentionInfiltrationBENEFITS• High Infiltration and Storage – 90% void surface area – one cubic metre of D-raintank (matrix) tank modules can store 950 litres (251 gal) of water• Modular – easily create a variety of shapes and sizes to suit site conditions• Strong Structural Design – Designed for vehicle loadings up to 22 psi (15.5 t/m2) when properly designed and installed• Cost Effective – reduces excavation and disposal by two thirds compared with conventional soak away pits – Low material costs, installation time, and excavation volumes compared to other systems• Lightweight – no cranes or lifting equipment required – Can be supplied unassembled for delivery to remote areas• Maintenance Free Tank – most debris and sediment is removed by prefiltration*Earn as many as 12 LEED points for your projectCreateany shapeorsizeStorm Water management
