The stormwater landscape is littered with field-built best management practices that are labor intensive to build and cumbersome to maintain. It’s about time someone reimagined these stormwater control measures on which so much downstream relies. stormbasix eases the burden on the design, construction and maintenance of these systems, while reducing costs.
BATCH DETENTION VALVE
The stormbasix batch detention system controls a 6” valve and comes in two configurations; an outfall valve and a vault valve. The outfall valve simply sits adjacent to the stormwater impoundment on the backside of a berm or wall. The Vault Valve is designed to be placed into a concrete manhole. These complete prepacked systems makes installation simple and prevents costly mistakes in the field.
INLET RISER SCREEN
Inlet riser Screens have been a mainstay in engineered specifications for stormwater detention basins. On plans, they may meet regulatory requirements, BUT in reality, they often become a maintenance nightmare. Often made of chicken wire and perforated PVC pipe, it isn’t long before they are damaged or broken. Isn’t it time someone manufactured this simple yet effective Stormwater Best Management Practice to last?
SEDIMENT DEPTH MARKER
The stormbasix Depth Marker is a durable, easy-to-install visual guide designed to help maintenance teams and site managers quickly and clearly assess sediment and water depth in stormwater detention basins. Constructed from a proprietary blend of thermoplastics and marked with bold, easy-to-read numerical indicators (1–5 feet), this marker is both easy to read from a distance and can withstand the harshest conditions and heaviest equipment.
