 1. RTank Modular Stormwater Storage System Provides High Efficiency Infiltration Bed for Auto Retail Lot
 High Void Space (95%) and Easy Constructability Combine to Provide Solution

Carmax_cover RTank stormwater detention, infiltration, and recycling systems provide underground storage of stormwater. This system is an alternative to stormwater basins and a more efficient, space saving alternative to other underground systems. When the developer of a retail auto lot was faced with limited footprint and depth for stormwater management, the RTank system was chosen as the flexible and cost effective solution.

 2. FocalPoint BioFiltration System Provides Retrofit Solution to Clogged Bioswale Application
 FocalPoint provides Quality and Volume Control for Stormwater harvesting Application

FP_Retro_cover Rather than completely tear out the clogged bioswales and reconstruct them using less organic content and improved construction oversight in hopes of preventing similar problems in the future, the FocalPoint Biofiltration System was presented as a cost effective alternative design.

The FocalPoint Biofiltration System is a combination of a High Performance, flat pipe underdrain, a bridging mesh that is clog proof, bridging stone, and an advanced high performance biofiltration media that flows at a rate of over 100" per hour. The system provides unsurpassed water quality and drainage characteristics.

We are proud of the over one million cubic foot of storage in the ground in just our Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regions. This case study provides a look back at an original construction sequence and how the project looks today.
