PRODUCTS USED
- 1,147 Aquabox Modules
- One roll of ADS Plus 125 geotextile
By using underground detention rather than a traditional surface pond, the Aquabox system allowed the owner to utilize the full site area for development, placing stormwater infrastructure beneath access roads.
Conventional chamber systems could not achieve the required storage volume within the limited footprint of the site. The Aquabox system’s high void design provided an efficient solution that met stormwater requirements, even with the elevated water table typical of southwest Florida.
Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) supported the project from design through construction. ADS assisted the site engineer with layout optimization, conducted a pre-construction meeting and provided on-site field support. This installation marked the first use of the Aquabox system in Southwest Florida.
Aquabox systems are engineered for use beneath parking lots and paved areas to help maximize land utilization. Manufactured from recycled polypropylene enhanced with a glass additive, the modular design allows for customized configurations to fit complex site conditions. Each lightweight module measures 29.5” x 29.5” x 31.5” (750 x 750 x 800 mm) and provides 15.24 cubic feet (0.43 m3) of storage capacity.
The stackable design allows for compact on-site storage and efficient delivery on pallets. Built to meet HS-20 load class standards, each system also includes an integrated sediment row to maintain storage volume over the lifespan of the system.
