  • Publication number: 20230243142
    Abstract: Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff are provided. Disclosed embodiments may include a top plate including a first plurality of side panel attachments and a bottom plate including a second plurality of side panel attachments. Embodiments may include a plurality of support column assemblies between the top plate and the bottom plate. Each support column assembly of the plurality of support column assemblies may include an upper portion and a lower portion and the upper portion and lower portion may be configured to connect at a mating connection. Embodiments may also include one or more side panels. Each of the one or more side panels may include one or more column bearing components. The one or more column bearing components may be configured to contact at least one support column assembly of the plurality of support column assemblies at one or more contact areas. The one or more contact areas may be located above or below the mating connection.

  • Publication number: 20230243143
    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 an intermediate plate may be located below the top plate and above the bottom plate. The intermediate plate may have a third plurality of support column attachments. The intermediate plate may be lightweight and may weigh less than one or both of the top plate and the bottom plate.

  • Publication number: 20230212848
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230175246
    Abstract: Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff are provided. Disclosed embodiments may include a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate including a first plurality of side panel attachments. Embodiments may include a plurality of support columns between the top plate and the bottom plate. Furthermore, disclosed embodiments may also include one or more arched side panels. 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.
