Drainage Systems

"The CULTEC Contactor® and Recharger® chambers replace conventional stormwater retention/detention systems such as ponds, swales, pipe and stone trenches or beds, or concrete structures. The chambers may be used for drywells. Infi ltration contact area is maximized by the fully open bottoms and perforated sidewalls. Water is collected in a catch basin or other collective device followed by a CULTEC StormFilter® to be treated. The water is then directed into the Contactor® or Recharger® chambers and distributed via the side portal internal manifold and crushed stone embedment. Depending on the system application, the water infi ltrates into the ground, or it is detained and released. Typical CULTEC stormwater systems are designed by using the largest chamber that meets the site’s depth constraint and system requirements. By choosing the largest available chamber that meets the system's parameters, you reduce the number of chambers and land area required. The client is able to maximize storage volume at the given workable elevations."
