What are the structural and material properties of polymer channel drains?

AtlanChannel is manufactured from a patented polymer mix that incorporates renewable resources, including recycled glass and street sweepings. These act as a bonded filler to enhance strength and durability. Polymer channel drains are lighter than concrete alternatives, while maintaining rigid structure and compressive strength, which ensures they can support heavy loads and the rigors of […]

What is an anti-shunt drainage channel?

Drainage channels with anti-shunt capabilities incorporate design features to prevent the movement of grates due to longitudinal forces, which can push, impact, and dislodge grates. These forces are most prevalent in trafficable and high-use installations that experience repeated or heavy loads.   This movement, commonly known as ‘shunting’, is prevented by robust design features that ensure

Plastic Free July 2024 - Atlan Stormwater

Plastic Free July 2024: Solutions to Plastic Pollution

This year’s Plastic Free July asks us all to be part of the ‘Plastic Pollution Solution’ and reduce our reliance on single-use plastics. Each year, Plastic Free July draws 100+ million global participants from 190 countries – and asks communities to reduce their plastic footprint. In Australia, we use over 1 million tonnes of single-use

What is the void ratio of a geocellular OSD tank system?

Void ratio is the efficiency of total storage volume compared to the gross volume per module. Different geocellular systems have void ratios that are influenced by their design specifications – such as module configuration, requirements for internal walls, and module size.  These factors all influence void ratio, and void ratios for different systems can be

How does stormwater treatment support stormwater harvesting systems?

As stormwater flows over impervious surfaces in our urban catchments, it conveys a variety of pollutants. Stormwater harvesting programs allow us to remove these pollutants, utilise stormwater runoff as a sustainable water supply, and protect our waterways. Common stormwater pollutants include gross pollution, microplastics, heavy metals, nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorus), garden chemicals, pet

Can stormwater be used for drinking water?

Drinking water guidelines typically require higher water quality than most reuse applications – such as gardening, irrigation, toilet flushing and vehicle wash bays. Advanced filtration, disinfection and water quality monitoring are costlier processes that facilitate may facilitate the use of stormwater as a potable water source. These processes provide specialised treatment modalities to counteract stormwater

What are the benefits of combining stormwater detention (OSD tanks) and stormwater harvesting?

In Australia and New Zealand, weather cycles such as La Nina and El Nino result in weather cycles that oscillate between dry and wet weather periods. This can lead to extreme weather events and rainfall patterns – with flooding during periods of heavy rainfall and droughts during prolonged periods of dry weather.  Combinations of stormwater

Does stormwater harvesting provide benefits during dry weather periods?

Stormwater harvesting is a supplementary water source and adaptive management strategy to help reserve water for future use. This infrastructure offers significant benefits in times of water shortage as it provides an alternative water source to the water network – reducing strain on public water supplies. While stormwater harvesting won’t eliminate water shortage or prolonged

Can stormwater harvesting be used for sports fields and parks?

Yes. Stormwater can be cost-effectively treated to meet water quality requirements for synthetic sports surfaces, such as field hockey – and areas with conventional grass, such as parks, gardens, and sporting fields. Harvested stormwater is economic and sustainable – and helps lower water bills and potable water use for irrigation and on-site use. Key considerations

What are the economic, environmental and social impacts of letting stormwater go to waste?

A 2015 Senate inquiry reports that ‘3,000 billion litres of stormwater’ falls annually on our urban centres and enters our waterways and oceans. By harnessing this resource to supplement our water network, stormwater harvesting can help reduce water bills, provide drought resilience, and lower demand for potable water sources. In Australia, the cost of one
