New Specification for Standard Thermoplastic Crate Systems for Stormwater Retention and Detention Systems
1. Scope
This standard will provide manufacturing and testing requirements for modular square or rectangular thermoplastic units used for the storage/detention of stormwater. These structures will be used to mitigate the impacts of water runoff from a storm's peak flows.
Keywords
Boxes, cisterns, water storage.
Rationale
New retention/detention systems have been developed and used that are based on these types of modular thermoplastic systems. There are, however, no standardized methods for ensuring uniform performance of these units. This standard will provide a means for evaluating different configurations so such evaluations can be made.
