BRAND
Contech
PRODUCT TYPE
Underground Stormwater
DETAIL
It has high void percentages to maximize stormwater volume, and its robust precast form allows systems to be buried deeper without the need for specialized backfill, increased wall thicknesses, or extra rebar reinforcement.
COVER
Minimum cover of only 12"
BACKFILLED
Can be backfilled with native soil
DEPTH
Maximizes available depth
URBANPOND APPLICATIONS
- Detention/Retention
- Infiltration Galleries
- Flood Control
- Treatment Train Design Options
COMPLIANCE
Slowly discharges captured runoff to keep your site in compliance
BENEFITS
Eliminates the need to purchase rock required in other concrete systems
CONTROL
Optional built-in orifice control riser
USE
Outdoor
URBANPOND INSTALLATION
- UrbanPond modules can easily fit onto a flatbed truck, and the size maximizes the space on each truckload.
- As many as 3 individual pieces can be delivered on a single truckload to reduce shipping costs and minimize crane requirements during installation.
DESIGN
Designed to meet H-20 loading requirements
CAPACITY
Superior strength and load capacity
MODULE
Various module sizes available to meet site constraints and installation requirements
FLEXIBILITY
Design flexibility while maximizing
storage space
URBANPOND MAINTENANCE
- Maintenance support - Contech has created a network of Certified Maintenance Providers to provide UrbanPond maintenance at the lowest possible cost.
- Modules can be modified to act as clear wells or pretreatment chambers for capturing trash, debris, and sediment. This consolidates maintenance requirements to a select few modules. Standard manholes, hinged manholes, and other access hatches are available.
- UrbanPond is designed to be easily accessed and maintained from finished surface via multiple access ports. Using a standard vacuum truck, each access point is conveniently located, as ports are strategically placed throughout the assembly.
FEATURES
Modules are comprised of 8’ x 16’ interior and perimeter modules with inside heights ranging from 3’ to 14’ in 6” increments, giving designers more versatility to accommodate dense development, urban infill or larger high-volume projects.
The modular design can be placed under roadways, parking lots and landscape areas in various shapes, sizes, and depths. The system’s internal offset leg configuration provides channel-less water distribution for stormwater entering and exiting the system, and the robust precast form allows it to be buried.
APPLICATIONS
FLOOD CONTROL
Contech's UrbanPond® precast underground storage system is designed to maximize storage volume and capture peak storm events to minimize downstream flooding and erosion.
