Detention Basins - Technical Information
Increasing storage in detention basins - hydraulic benefits
A Ridgidrain/Ridgistorm-XL drainage system installed within a drainage layer below the detention system base, can provide positive drainage of the system and assist with its draining.
Polypipe is able to offer a wide range of thermoplastic pipe systems, including a comprehensive range of pipe diameters and fittings, allowing simple integration into the drainage system.
Where the attenuation storage capacity of the detention basin has effectively been increased through the provision of a positive drainage system below the basin invert, further attenuation storage capacity may be provided by oversizing the nominal perforated pipe which would typically be installed.
