ECS - Model PIPE-R -Reservoir System for Underground Water Storage
The PIPE-R™ Reservoir System revolutionizes underground water storage by offering a versatile and cost-effective solution for developers, engineers, and contractors. Constructed for easy and rapid installation, this system supports both retention of surficial aquifers and detention to mitigate downstream flooding risks. The innovative design allows for rainwater and stormwater harvesting through the application of an impermeable liner, making it suitable for non-potable reuse. The system supports sustainability by aligning with changing water management practices. Technical support is provided to enhance project efficiency, offering custom product drawings, hydraulic calculations, and submittals. The system is backed by a comprehensive installation program and regulatory assistance to streamline approval processes, ensuring timely completion of projects. Detailed guides and specifications are available to ensure proper implementation and operation.
PIPE-R™ units are 8.625″ tall. This height provides designers with a solution when the seasonal high groundwater table is a challenge. The units are available in three footprint sizes:
- PIPE-R-424: 3.5’ x 3.5’
- PIPE-R-90: 3.5’ x 7.5’
- PIPE-R-1890: 7.5’ x 7.5’
PIPE-R™ is simple to install. The cubes arrive at the project site ready to install. An installation team of four people can typically install 2,500 cubic feet of storage in approximately 30 minutes. We will always have a representative on-site to support the installing contractors and answer questions about the installation.
Why Use PIPE-R™
As land prices rise, it’s becoming more expensive to build conventional ponds. Underground storage systems allow developers to use more of their land for other developments like larger buildings or more parking. PIPE-R™ saves time and money:
- 96% void space means smaller excavated area
- System requires less rock than other systems
- H20 and HS-20 loading capability
- Engineer design assistance available
- Fast installation time
