  • Patent number: 10738455
    Abstract: In a system and method for retaining or detaining a fluid beneath a ground surface, a plurality of modules, each having at least one vertically disposed side portion supporting a horizontally disposed roof are provided. The plurality of modules, each being in fluid communication, either directly or indirectly, with each of the other modules, are arranged in an assembly having a plurality of rows and columns. Each of the rows and columns contain at least one flow obstructer such that fluid flow through each of the rows and columns is circuitous.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2020
    Assignee: Retain-It, LLC
