 1. RainTank System Provides Stormwater Storage Under Bank Parking Lot.
 Modular versatility and void space of system provides solution to limited space on site.

T & M Cover image RainTank, is a subsurface water storage structure that provides significant design and construction versatility as well as 95% void space, which provides maximum storage with minimum disturbance for stormwater retention / detention / infiltration applications.

This case study from a western Pennsylvania Bank provides an overview of the implementation of the system under a parking lot that provided storage for minimum excavation in a small footprint application.

 2. East Coast Erosion Blankets Provide Stabilization on Large Pipeline Project!
 Double "Bio-Net" Blanket Provides an Environmentally Friendly Solution for Erosion Prevention.

Millenium_Lead_shot An ongoing natural gas pipeline project has traversed eight counties of New York's lower Hudson Valley and Southern Tier. The inherent nature of this type of long linear project requires a significant restoration effort. The goal of the restoration project is to ensure that all areas disturbed by the pipeline construction are stabilized and returned as closely as possible to their original condition. This case study provides a brief overview of how East Coast Erosion Blanket's MegaRolls with Bio-net were utilized as a component of that restoration project.
