IMPROVED LIQUID RUN-OFF DISPOSAL SYSTEM
20200141107 · 2020-05-07 ·

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.

IN-GROUND STORMWATER COLLECTION AND PRETREATMENT FILTRATION SYSTEMS
20200115890 · 2020-04-16 · ·

A stormwater management inlet prefilter for system use in green infrastructure which typically includes either biofiltration (e.g. bioretention, tree planters, gravel wetlands) or infiltration (e.g. leech fields, dry wells, infiltration trenches and basins) that both provide recharge of stormwater runoff to groundwater aquifers and treated discharge to surface waters. The system can be used as an edge of curb system, a drop inlet, or inline. The system can be used both in retrofit or new installations and extends the operating life and reduces the maintenance burden of stormwater management systems by filtering out trash and debris at the inlet. The system enables the simplified maintenance of stormwater management systems at the inlet in an accessible location with no special equipment required. Installation is simple and comparable to common catch basins and grates. Preferably, the system is made of pre-cast concrete, HDPE, and stainless steel and is resistant to rust and rot from corrosive winter runoff. No special equipment necessary and maintenance is simple and utilizes standard vacuum trucks for catch basin cleaning by use of a pressure washer and vacuum equipment.
