Project Design Brief
Designers were tasked with integrating a comprehensive stormwater management system to effectively mitigate and detain runoff generated from multiple site-specific catchment areas. The system required a shallow tank to connect to existing stormwater pipes, and versatile enough to be assembled into an irregular shape to fit within the landscaped area. In addition, the tank had to be designed to allow runoff to infiltrate into the top of the tank from the sandy turf above.
