- Stormwater harvesting
- Bioretention and infiltration
Interactive 3D Drawing
The AtlanChamber is an open bottomed, high-density polyethylene stormwater infiltration system for subsurface retention or detention of stormwater runoff. It provides an environmentally progressive and technologically advanced storage and pollutant removal solution – yet the AtlanChamber stormwater detention tank system is more cost-effective and requires less maintenance than other types of underground stormwater management systems (onsite detention tanks/underground tanks).
This innovative arched underground detention tank system reduces nutrient and other pollutant loading by taking advantage of the natural biological and physical properties of the soil, directly comparable to the functions of a septic drain field. The AtlanChamber stormwater detention system also recharges groundwater drinking supplies, while concurrently helping to maintain base flow to streams, wetlands, lakes, and ponds, and to counter saltwater intrusion.
Features

AtlanChamber (SPEL Chamber) FAQ
How does the AtlanChamber system differ from traditional stormwater management systems?
What are the key differences between stormwater retention and stormwater detention?
Stormwater retention systems (e.g., retention tanks) are designed to hold water permanently or for long periods. This water is often reused on site for purposes like flushing toilets and watering gardens.
Stormwater detention systems (e.g., onsite detention tanks) are designed to temporarily store excess runoff during storm events. Once the storm passes, these systems gradually release the stored water into the stormwater drainage system to prevent overwhelming the infrastructure and causing flooding. The primary goal is to control the rate of runoff rather than retaining the water long-term.
What types of materials are used in the construction of AtlanChamber systems?
Can the AtlanChamber system be installed in challenging site conditions?
What maintenance does the AtlanChamber system require?
Is there support available for installation and design assistance?
What is MUSIC modelling, and how can it be accessed for the AtlanChamber?
MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation) modelling helps optimise urban stormwater systems. MUSIC models for the AtlanChamber are available for various councils and regions across Australia.
