Stormwater Filtration


Every single construction project must take into account the effect of weather to the property. The pooling of rainwater on the surface of the property during rainstorms is one of the important problems that contractors handle during construction of a property. Useful stormwater detention is an important characteristic in current properties and over the years, engineers have invented plenty of procedures and products that quickly remedy this problem.


Most property developers control the rainwater runoff by building underground vaults on open areas of the property, including parking lots, parks, playgrounds, etc. Instead of rainwater pooling in the surface, the water runs through drains into these water vaults and helps prevent flooding around the development site. This gives value to the property particularly to parts where rainstorms are the norm, and the need arises for underground stormwater detention.


There are plenty of businesses who design modular stormwater detention systems constructed from a variety of materials. The widely used material to use for these systems is precast cement, but other materials including steel, metal pipes, plastic or fibreglass are used if the design calls for it.


The current standards of best management techniques have resulted in the enhancement of efficient systems to handle the rainwater runoff from modern structures. These new modular designs reduce the construction time in addition to expenses.
