Atlan Stormwater Detention Tanks

During peak rain events, on-site Stormwater Detention (OSD) helps to slow stormwater runoff from developed areas – an essential flood mitigation strategy. Impervious surfaces and reduced infiltration are characteristic of urban development, and these cause stormwater to pool and increase flood risk.

Modelling sites to meet the demands of increased stormwater runoff ensures the on-site capacity to capture storm water in underground detention assets. The design of Atlan Onsite Stormwater Detention Tanks allows them to capture peak flow run-off volumes during storm events and slowly let them go once the heavy rainfall period has passed.

Stormwater Detention FAQ

How do on-site stormwater detention tanks (OSD Tanks) help in preventing flooding in residential areas?

On-site detention tanks are designed to manage excess runoff by temporarily storing stormwater during peak rain events. By controlling the flow rate of water into the local Council drainage system, these tanks help prevent flooding in residential areas, ensuring that stormwater is released gradually rather than overwhelming the local infrastructure.

Are there cost benefits to using Atlan's stormwater detention systems?

Yes, all of Atlan’s stormwater detention solutions are engineered to a modular design format for cost efficiency, less material usage, and faster installation times than alternative stormwater detention systems. These benefits translate to lower overall project costs while ensuring high-quality, durable stormwater management solutions.

How does the design of Atlan Stormwater Detention Tanks cater to site-specific needs?

Atlan Stormwater offers a broad range of stormwater detention assets with flexibility in design and installation. Our tanks can be customised in terms of size, shape, and material to suit specific site requirements, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with local regulations and development guidelines.

Can Atlan stormwater detention systems be combined with filtration solutions?

Yes, our stormwater detention systems can be integrated with tertiary filtration solutions such as AtlanFilter cartridge systems to meet environmental compliance and water quality objectives. This combination helps in reducing water pollution by filtering out contaminants before the water is released back into the environment or reused.

What is MUSIC modelling, and how can it be accessed for stormwater detention systems?

MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation) is a valuable tool for optimising stormwater detention solutions. For our stormwater detention systems, MUSIC models can be accessed for different councils and regions throughout Australia by downloading them from our website.

What is the difference between stormwater detention and stormwater retention?

Stormwater detention involves temporarily holding stormwater runoff in on-site detention tanks or stormwater tanks to slowly release it into subsequent infiltration areas or a drainage system after a heavy rainfall event. This process helps prevent flooding by managing excess runoff.

Stormwater retention, also known as stormwater harvesting, involves capturing and holding stormwater in a retention tank for reuse – increasing sustainability and water efficiency. Stormwater retention allows stormwater to be reused on site, with common uses including watering gardens and flushing toilets.

What types of developments typically require stormwater detention tanks?

Stormwater detention tanks are commonly required for commercial developments, industrial estates, multi-unit residential areas, and large infrastructure projects. These tanks are essential in areas with significant impervious surfaces where natural infiltration is reduced, necessitating engineered solutions to manage stormwater runoff.
