Introduction and Product Overview

Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) is a worldwide company with operations in numerous locations throughout the world. One of our most widely used products in Europe is the full line of StormTech Chambers. These Chambers are used for Underground Stormwater Management.

StormTech has thousands of chamber systems in service throughout the world. All StormTech chambers are designed to meet the most stringent industry performance standards for superior structural integrity. The StormTech system is designed primarily to be used under parking lots, roadways and heavy earth loads saving valuable land and protecting water resources for commercial and municipal applications. In our continuing desire to answer designers’ challenges, StormTech has expanded the family of products providing engineers, developers, regulators and contractors with additional site specific flexibility.

StormTech offers a variety of chamber sizes (SC-310, SC-740, DC-780, MC-3500 and MC-4500) so the consulting design engineer can choose the chamber that is best suited for the site conditions and regulatory requirements. We provide plan layout and cost estimate services at no charge for consulting engineers and developers.

StormTech Chambers Provide...

• Large capacity that fits very tight footprints providing developers with more useable land for development.
• A proven attenuation alternative to cumbersome large diameter metal pipe or snap together plastic crates and unreliable multi-layer systems.
• Provides the strength of concrete vaults at a very competitive price.
• The robust continuous true elliptical arch design which effectively transfers loads to the surrounding backfill providing the long-term safety factor required by AASHTO. Offers developers a cost-effective underground system that will perform as designed for decades
• Designed in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications providing engineers with a structural performance standard for live and long-term dead loads.
• Polypropylene and polyethylene resins tested using ASTM standards to ensure long and short-term structural properties.
• Injection molded for uniform wall thickness and repeatable quality.
• Third party tested and patented Isolator TM Row for less frequent maintenance, water quality and long-term performance.
• Incorporates traditional manifold/header designs using conventional hydraulic equations that can easily verify flow equalization and scour velocity.
• Open chamber design requiring only one chamber model to construct each row assuring ease of construction and no repeating end walls to obstruct access or flow.
