Specification Section: 2021 Stormwater Products and Technology Guide
Stormwater conditions can vary tremendously, depending on the size of the area, surrounding terrain, volume of water involved and many additional factors. This brief listing is meant to showcase products and technology used and specified by civil and structural engineers. If your company should have been included, let us know at [email protected] or [email protected], and we’ll add it online.
Best Management Products, Inc.
Since 1999, more than 85,000 BMP SNOUT hoods have been put in service to help communities comply with stormwater quality regulations. This system reduces trash, floatables, oil, and sediment from stormwater discharges. It is also a high-performance pre-treatment option for water harvesting, stormwater retention and recharge systems.
BMP’s accessories such as the Bio-Skirt, the Stainless TrashScreen and our new Turbo Plates add flexibility and extra cleaning power. The most popular option for the SNOUT is the Bio-Skirt, which increases hydrocarbon removals including emulsified oils and PAHs. The Stainless TrashScreen is an accessory that helps to meet Full Trash Capture requirements for Trash TMDLs.
Our Turbo Plates reduce turbulence and velocity in the structure and greatly increase sediment capture and retention. Design information, CAD drawings and pricing can be found at bmpinc.com or call 800-504-8008 for assistance. All products are proudly made in the USA.

PRESTO GEOSYSTEMS
Presto Geosystems’ GEOPAVE gravel porous pavers were utilized for parking and walkways with other environmental and sustainable products at a Wisconsin nature preserve, The Ridges Sanctuary, in their pursuit for USGBC LEED Platinum rating.
Protecting Lake Michigan’s watershed was a primary concern at this facility’s location adjacent to the lake’s western shores. The porous pavements were an important part of the overall plan to protect the waters against the negative effects of stormwater runoff on water quality. The GEOPAVE system, infilled with highly porous stone, allows water infiltration, and acts as a natural, onsite stormwater retention system, storing stormwater in its aggregate base after rain events and allowing for natural percolation. GEOPAVE pavements are designed to accept everyday traffic from cars, trucks and emergency vehicles.

Solmax
RD SolDrain: Longer pavement design life
Even if a roadway is saturated only 10% of the time, its service life may be reduced by half.
Water on pavements causes damage and costs a fortune to repair. Ask any engineer: adequate drainage of both surface and subgrade is vital to a pavement’s long-term performance.
RD SolDrain (previously RoaDrain) is the engineered solution to drain roadways, parking lots, airports, railway facilities, embankments and dikes in a cost-effective design. Easy to install, it greatly extends service life and reduces maintenance costs.
This high-strength HDPE geocomposite comprises a triplanar geonet core, heat-bonded on both sides with geotextile filters for unobstructed linear flow. RD SolDrain’s compressive strength of 50,000 psf is combined with 10 times the permeability of drainage stones.

EJ
STORMSURGE ACCESS ASSEMBLY
During a major rain or tidal event, the water pressure can be powerful enough to force up and dislodge a manhole cover. This creates a hazard for both motorists and pedestrians. The STORMSURGE Access Assembly solves this problem by allowing water to flow. During a storm surge or backflow event, the cover can lift up to 16 degrees, enabling water to flow out and relieve the pressure. The locking arm and hinge restrain the cover and allow it to properly seat itself after the event. Made in the USA, it is traffic rated and exceeds the 40,000-lb proof loading requirements of AASHTO-M-306.

Redi-Rock International
Redi-Rock revolutionized the retaining wall industry in 2000 when it introduced large, wetcast, gravity blocks with interlocking knob and groove technology—think giant, 1-ton Lego blocks. Not only did the walls look better with the texture of natural stone, but the machine-set blocks sped up installation compared to the existing offerings on the market. Since then, the scope of Redi-Rock’s product line has evolved into one integrated system of wall solutions. No matter what combination you choose from the family of products for the engineering behind your wall, or what face texture you choose for the appearance of the front of your wall, they all work together for a seamless, structurally sound solution.

Soil Retention Products
VERDURA is a fully plantable retaining wall system that provides the strength and function of a standard retaining wall with the added ability to sustain live plants. VERDURA blocks are made of low-moisture absorbing concrete that will not deteriorate over time. Because of the high shear strength from the lip of the block, VERDURA allows for soil compaction directly behind the blocks, facilitating the use of heavy construction equipment within close proximity to the wall face. VERDURA applications include high and critical walls, tiered walls, channel walls, detention basin walls, screen walls, sound walls, and more. Soil Retention has been installing VERDURA retaining walls up to 50’ height single-tier and up to 80’ height multi-tier throughout California for more than 30 years without a failure. And VERDURA is Caltrans approved up to 40’. Soil Retention is a general engineering contractor licensed in CA, AZ and NV.

Xylem
Flygt MAS 801
Several deep tunnels are designed with the goal of preventing stormwater from overflowing and entering into nearby waterways. Recent installations consist of stations designed at a depth of 220-feet. The tunnels store a mixture until rain subsides and sewer system capacity is available. Stormwater is then pumped back into the sewer system and treated before being released into the local river. Xylem engineers have provided CFD studies ensuring there are no unexpected hydraulic disturbances impacting operation. Meeting FM certification, complying with the Class 1, Division 1 environment has also been a requirement, coupled with offering increased monitoring intelligence such as the Flygt MAS801 offering operations the tools needed to make informed decisions.
