PRODUCTS USED
To lease more ground at the airport was cost prohibitive and Wilson Air Center wanted to avoid an open pond system, which would attract wildlife.
SOLUTION
Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) had an established working relationship with the project engineer, G&G Engineers, and the contractor, RL Siteworx. ADS recommended the use of StormTech MC‑3500 chambers for the stormwater solution.
The two‑bed system selected provides nearly 49,000 cubic feet (1,388 cubic meters) of storage capacity, and the chambers’ load-bearing strength supports aircraft parking and maneuvering.
Since Houston prohibits infiltration, the StormTech system detains runoff and releases it through a 6” (150 mm) restrictor into the municipal storm sewer network.
