Rainstore³ porous paving from Landplan Engineering Supplies
Rainstore³ is a revolutionary underground water storage system,
allowing retention or detention of any volume of water. Rainstore³ is unique in
that it is not a pipe or arched chamber, instead it is a free-form structure
encased in a plastic liner. The structure can be as shallow as 0.1m and as deep
as 2.5m, with any length and width in 1m increments, far more flexible than precast
tanks. Rainstore³ elinimates site restrictions by conforming to custom project
requirements.
The structure can be used for water retention by the use of an impervious liner,
water is then accessible for irrigation, fire protection, manufacturing plants etc.
Another application is water detention by the use of a porous liner, which controls
the timing of water exit to suit the site constraints in conservation and civil works.
Rainstore³ has a void area of 94%, maximizing water storage capacity while the
intrinsic strength permits heavy vehicle traffic over completed structure. It has
profound logistical advantages over traditional installations, due to its modular
design and light weight characteristics. Delivery and installation to sites of
limited access is now viable, expanding the potential of many locations.
Rainstore³ presents major economic and environmental benefits in best practice
management. Where couldn't you build one?
Urban Applications
In current urban development, detention basins occupy valuable real estate, require
ongoing maintenance and create safety hazards. An alternative is the installation of
isolated Rainstore³ structures below the driveway of each lot. Occupation of the land
is maximized. The use of runoff for irrigation saves precious potable water, and reduces
the storm water infrastructure requirement.
Both the economic and environmental benefits are huge.
