A plastic leaching chamber is provided and includes a chamber substrate constructed from a PET material and having opposing side base flanges which lie in a horizontal plane and extend lengthwise along the chamber substrate. The chamber substrate includes opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from each of the opposing side base flanges to a top of the chamber substrate and includes a lengthwise center plane which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The opposing sidewalls define a plurality of leaching openings having at least one tab slot opening located proximate thereto, and a plurality of louver articles constructed from at least one of a PE and a PP material. Each of the louver articles include a tab which is configured to engage a tab slot opening to securely associate the plurality of louver articles with the chamber substrate to cover the at least one leach opening.

An improved liquid run-off disposal system is described having an infiltration chamber 72 with first and second sidewalls 74. In cross-sectional view the first and second sidewalls 74 each include an inner surface 76 and outer surface 78, and each sidewall 74 includes a plurality of integrated louvre-shaped apertures 80. In cross-sectional view each louvre-shaped aperture 80 includes an upper surface 82 and a lower surface 84 which are angled upwards from the outer surface 78 and protrude inwards from the inner surface 76 into the interior of the infiltration chamber 72. The upper and lower surfaces 82, 84 comprise a plurality of angled sections, the angled sections being arranged so as to form a substantially vertical flow path through a portion of the aperture 80. The angled sections of the upper and lower surfaces 82, 84 are arranged at an angle and of a length so as to substantially overlap when viewed in a horizontal direction. The overlapping region “Y.sub.1” ensures that the apertures 80 will admit the exit of water but substantially inhibit the entry of soil wherein, in use, when liquid run-off is piped into the infiltration chamber 72 it can drain away through the apertures 80 and into the surrounding soil.

An improved liquid run-off disposal system is described having an infiltration chamber (72) with first and second sidewalls (74). In cross-sectional view the first and second sidewalls (74) each include an inner surface 76 and outer surface (78), and each sidewall (74) includes a plurality of integrated louvre-shaped apertures (80). In cross-sectional view each louvre-shaped aperture (80) includes an upper surface (82) and a lower surface (84) which are angled upwards from the outer surface (78) and protrude inwards from the inner surface (76) into the interior of the infiltration chamber (72). The upper and lower surfaces (82, 84) comprise a plurality of angled sections, the angled sections being arranged so as to form a substantially vertical flow path through a portion of the aperture (80). The angled sections of the upper and lower surfaces (82, 84) are arranged at an angle and of a length so as to substantially overlap when viewed in a horizontal direction. The overlapping region “Y1” ensures that the apertures (80) will admit the exit of water but substantially inhibit the entry of soil wherein, in use, when liquid run-off is piped into the infiltration chamber (72) it can drain away through the apertures (80) and into the surrounding soil.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a flared end ramp for managing flow of material into a stormwater chamber may be provided. The flared end ramp may include an inlet end configured for connection with a pipe, a side wall of the flared end ramp having a rounded profile at the inlet end; an outlet end configured for placement within the stormwater chamber; and an inclined surface extending between the inlet end and the outlet end of the flared end ramp and configured to deliver material from the pipe into the stormwater chamber. The outlet end of the flared end ramp may have a larger width than the inlet end of the flared end ramp such that the inclined surface is angled laterally outward from the inlet end toward the outlet end.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management system may include a stormwater chamber configured for placement underground; a flared end ramp at the inlet of the stormwater chamber that is configured to receive runoff containing sediment and to distribute the sediment across a width of the stormwater chamber; and a filtration fabric situated beneath the stormwater chamber, the filtration fabric being configured to capture sediment from the runoff in the stormwater chamber while the runoff flows out of the stormwater chamber.

An integrated utility line system includes a plurality of integrated utility lines, each integrated utility line having an elongate body member disposed along a longitudinal axis. The elongate body member of the integrated utility lined has a first and a second utility opening defined there-through parallel to the longitudinal axis. The plurality of integrated utility lines are connected together along the longitudinal axis such that the first utility openings in the plurality of integrated utility lines are in alignment with one another, and the second utility openings in the plurality of integrated utility lines are in alignment with one another. The system further includes a plurality of seismic bearing members, and the plurality of integrated utility lines are supported at least in part by the plurality of seismic bearing members.

A leaching chamber for implementation in a leaching field is provided. The leaching chamber may include a first end with a first end flange and a second end with a second end flange. The first end flange may be configured to overlap and rotatably connect with a complementary end flange of a second leaching chamber such that the leaching chamber is configured to rotate with respect to the second leaching chamber and to be disposed at a selected angular orientation relative to the second leaching chamber. A first locking feature on the first end flange may be configured to engage with a locking feature on the complementary end flange to lock the leaching chamber in the selected angular orientation relative to the second leaching chamber.

Individual hexagonal shaped modules used in an assembly for underground storage of storm water and other fluid storage needs, Modules are assembled into a resultant honeycomb shape for maximized structural strength and material use efficiency. Adjacent modules are in direct fluid communications with one another via openings or windows in module side walls. Assemblies include various top and side pieces along with access ports for entry into said assembly.

A plant system with structural frame and water storage chamber which allows for the collection of surface water emanating from impervious surface for retrieval and re-use.
