Brentwood StormTank Storage Modules


StormTank™
Stormwater Storage Modules

Brentwood’s StormTank™ Stormwater Storage Modules are a high-void, strong, affordable alternative to crushed stone, concrete structures, or pipe chambers for sub-surface stormwater detention or infiltration basins.
High Void, High Strength

Brentwood StormTank Modules offer the largest void space of any underground stormwater storage units currently on the market (97%), and are load rated for use under parking lots, athletic fields, parks, etc. (Designed to exceed HS-25 loading criteria)!

Brentwood StormTank Stormwater Storage System

Easy to Install
The entire StormTank Storage System is built on-site from Top/Bottom Platens and Side Panels made of rugged, lightweight polypropylene and 2-3/8” diameter PVC structural Columns. Combinations of these three components create all the module configurations needed for a fully-functioning underground system
(see example below).

To minimize shipping costs, the StormTank components are delivered unassembled, but on-site assembly is a snap! No special equipment, tools, or bonding agents are needed to assemble or install the modules. All components easily attach with a secure concentric pressure fit.

Easy to Clean
The open tops/bottoms and sides of the modules makes flushing and cleaning easy ... a great advantage over storage systems where access is limited. (See StormTank Maintenance Guidelines)
AASHTO Load Tested to HS-25
Brentwood StormTank Modules have undergone real-life load testing at the Queen’s University GeoEngineering Centre (right). A single-axle load exceeding 83,000 lbs. was successfully applied to the installed Brentwood StormTank Stormwater System. No comparable stormwater product has ever been tested this extensively.

DOCUMENTATION
For a complete pictorial review of the testing and/or the complete test report, contact Brentwood.

Saves Space and Money
Because of its 97% void space, stackability, and HS-25 strength, a StormTank system offers significant space and cost savings when compared to conventional stormwater storage solutions. For example:

MAXIMIZE LAND USE
Because a StormTank system is installed underground, it frees up surface space for uses that would otherwise be unavailable.

Unsightly detention ponds are unusable, land-wasting, restricted spaces that can cause insect and pest control problems and high maintenance costs with no corresponding benefits.

A StormTank system can bring athletic fields, pavilions, sheds, and other surface-level structures, playgrounds, blacktop areas for sports and/or parking, and other people-friendly, usable greenspace (below).

SMALLER FOOTPRINT, SMALLER COSTS
A StormTank installation requires a much smaller footprint than a crushed rock system with the same amount of stormwater storage capacity. And less space used also means less expense for excavation, geotextile, liner, installation, and backfill.

STACKABILITY + VARIABLE COLUMN HEIGHT = MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
StormTank’s stackability and variable column height (18”-36”) can maximize the use of a site with limited surface area.
