Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a modular underground water management system that includes arched module components with curved openings and one or more corner pillars that define the openings. The components can be joined together to form assemblies with hollow cores and solid shells that are impermeable to water. The system can also include separate zones with different water flow, retention, and detention characteristics. The system can also include filtration devices and various additional components such as stacking couplers, lateral couplers, and filter baskets. The dimensions of the modular units and the overall assembly can vary depending on design factors such as water volume capacity, load-bearing tolerance, and access space. The invention provides a more efficient and flexible system for managing underground water.

Problems solved by technology

Typically, developed land accumulates pollutants that can contaminate water runoff, particularly after storms.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]As used herein, the terms “comprises,”“comprising,”“includes,”“including,”“has,”“having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).

[0032]Also, use of the “a” or “an” are employed to describe elements and components of the invention. This is done merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the invention. This description should be read to include one or at ...

Abstract

The invention provides modular units, associated component parts, and assemblies of the modular units and component parts, including storage and filtration systems, that are useful for making and using underground water management systems.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 714,178 filed on Oct. 15, 2012, the subject matter of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to modular units, component parts, and assemblies of the modular units and component parts that are useful for making and using underground water storage systems.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Nearly any new development of land must incorporate a system for managing water runoff from the developed land. Current regulatory schemes typically require developers to install underground water detention and / or retention systems that effectively maintain a flow of water into and off of the developed land that mimics the natural (i.e., pre-development) flow from the land.[0004]Such systems typically are installed under large concrete or asphalt surfaces and often must be capable of bearing highly variable weight ...
