  • Patent number: 12371891
    Abstract: Stormwater and fluid management runoff systems, apparatus, and methods for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management box for managing stormwater runoff may be provided. The stormwater management box may include a top plate and a base plate having a plurality of spaced apart columns positioned therebetween. The stormwater management box may include one or more side panels positioned between the top plate and the base plate, each side panel comprising a cover. The stormwater management box may also include a truss, the truss running perpendicular to the vertical plane of the one or more side panels and fitting within a vertical space between an upper surface of the bottom plate and a lower surface of the top plate.

  • Patent number: 12286782
    Abstract: Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatus for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management crate for managing stormwater runoff may be provided. The stormwater management crate may include a top plate having a first plurality of support column attachments and one or more support column assemblies located below the top plate; the one or more support column assemblies being affixed to the top plate at the support column attachments. The stormwater management crate may further include a bottom plate having a second plurality of support column attachments located below the support column assemblies. Stormwater management crates may be arranged into an array and include side panels of variable heights. The array of stormwater management crates may be further wrapped in sediment impervious material and serve to restrict stormwater flow as part of a stormwater management system.

  • Publication number: 20240190739
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed relating to onsite subsurface wastewater treatment systems and components thereof. Such systems may include a manifold of a subsurface wastewater treatment system. The manifold may further include a front wall and a rear wall, an internal cavity between the front wall and the rear wall, and a length. The manifold may further include one or more conduit port extending from the rear wall, a first connector port configured at one end of the manifold and defining an opening connected to said internal cavity, and a second connector port configured at an opposite end of the manifold and defining an opening connected to said internal cavity. The manifold may be incorporated into a subsystem or system for subsurface treatment of wastewater along with one or more conduits configured to receive and disperse wastewater.

  • Publication number: 20070231071
    Abstract: A continuous curve arch shape cross section leaching chamber made of molded thermoplastic has closely spaced corrugations and sidewalls, portions of which are perforated with horizontal slots. Either or both of the slot height and the local wall thickness of the sidewall portion which defines the slots may vary with slot elevation from the base. The chambers are free of interior and exterior strengthening ribs. They provide high interior storage volume and high leaching area in combination with low mass or weight of plastic material. An exemplary 34 inch wide chamber has more than 1.5 cubic feet of water storage volume per foot, less than 4 pounds weight of thermoplastic material per foot, and at least 30 square inches of slot-provided leaching area per foot.

  • Publication number: 20070172314
    Abstract: A continuous curve arch shape cross section leaching chamber made of molded thermoplastic has closely spaced corrugations and sidewalls, portions of which are perforated with horizontal slots. Either or both of the slot height and the local wall thickness which defines the slots may vary with slot elevation from the base, so that a perforated sidewall configuration is achieved which resists entry of surrounding soil. In one embodiment, the slotted sidewall has slots with all the same slot openings and the wall thickness decreases with elevation.

  • Publication number: 20050238434
    Abstract: An end plate for closing off the end of an arch shape cross section corrugated stormwater chamber, which receives water for dispersal beneath the surface of the earth, has a dished portion which projects outwardly from the end of a chamber to which it is attached, preferably by means of a flange which engages the corrugations of the chamber. Ribs inside the end plate add strength.

  • Publication number: 20050074287
    Abstract: A continuous curve arch shape cross section leaching chamber made of molded thermoplastic has closely spaced corrugations and sidewalls which are perforated with slots which slope downwardly, running from interior to exterior of the chamber. The slot height and or wall thickness vary with slot elevation from the base, to achieve a desired minimum Soil Threshold Angle in the slots, where said Angle parameter relates to resistance to entry of surrounding soil. Slotted wall thickness is less than about two times the thickness of the basic chamber wall thickness elsewhere. The chamber has properties and performance approximating prior art chambers, but has substantially less normalized weight and total weight.
