On-site Stormwater Detention (OSD) tanks are stormwater management systems that temporarily store excess surface runoff during storms and heavy rainfall.
By slowing these incoming flows, they can be released slowly to drainage or infiltration zones, which prevents downstream assets, property, and environments from being overwhelmed by excess stormwater.
Key benefits of these systems include preventing local flooding, reducing the burden on public stormwater infrastructure, ensuring regulatory compliance, and compatibility with stormwater treatment assets such as filtration and gross pollutant traps (GPTs).
Across our urban spaces, the prevalence of impervious surfaces such as concrete, driveways, pavement, roofs, and car parks is increasing. These surfaces lack the permeability and ability to soak stormwater like natural environments such as wetlands, forests, grasslands, and swamps.
Subsequently, OSD tanks are a common compliance requirement for urban developments. There are many forms of OSD tanks available, which meet a wide range of catchment requirements for commercial, industrial, residential, and infrastructure projects.
Atlan Stormwater manufactures, designs, installs, and maintains a comprehensive range of locally manufactured detention products, including modular plastic chambers (AtlanChamber), concrete vaults (AtlanVault, MegaVault), underground pipes (AtlanFlow), and geocellular systems (AtlanCube).
