Project Details

A twenty-two piece SingleTrap detention system was installed underneath a Speedway, Inc. facility to manage and control the volume and discharge timing of stormwater runoff on site.

Challenge

The main challenge of the project was to fit the 50% peak rate water reduction required by the Hempsfield township into the space allotted. The site was surrounded by utilities around which the SingleTrap had to be designed.

Solution

The water discharge system was tied into an existing culvert running underneath a state highway. Despite the site restrictions, required water reduction rates, and existing utilities, the StormTrap team successfully provided 7,664 ft³ of water storage while maintaining a small footprint.
