Project Design Brief
Engineers were required to incorporate an on-site stormwater infiltration system to alleviate uncontrolled runoff and to mitigate flooding around the dam in the middle of the course. The 276m3 underground tank needed to capture standing surface water with stormwater from the roof systems and slowly release it into safer surrounding areas. Engineers needed a strong, quick to assemble tank which could be maintained easily.
