Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS)
SUDS best practice limits the flow of rainwater which runs off-site or is piped away, protects local watercourses from the contamination carried in surface run-off, encourages natural groundwater recharge (where appropriate), and reduces the likelihood of downstream flooding.
Stormcheck Vortex Flow Control
The Stormcheck 'Vortex Flow Control Chamber' comprises of a pre- fabricated plastic chamber, in a range of diameters, with integral vortex flow control device. One aim of a sustainable drainage system is to mimic greenfield run-off rates from developed sites. One way of achieving this aim is by stormwater storage and attenuation. The new Stormcheck chamber allows precise control of site discharge rates and when combined with our storage systems provides an industry recognised flow attenuation system.
Features
- Pre-Fabricated to customer specification.
- Choice of Depth up to a maximum invert level of six metres.
- Lightweight chamber design.
- Tough and durable product.
- Designed to integrate in to the extensive range of Polypipe advanced drainage systems.
Key Benefits of the Stormcheck Chamber
- A sealed chamber produced in our dedicated fabrications department, built to exacting specifications and delivered to site ready to be installed.
- The factory fitted vortex flow control device saves the contractor the time and expense of on-site construction.
- Vortex flow control devices are widely recognised as being the most hydraulically efficient means of flow regulation. The unique design utilising no moving parts, means they are virtually maintenance free.
- Stormcheck Chambers are manufactured with an integral sump for silt catchment and an optional drain down system to ease maintenance and silt removal.
- The Stormcheck Chamber can be integrated with any Polypipe SUDS Solution and the market leading Ridgidrain ADS System.
