| New StormTech Chamber  A new StormTech chamber from Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) is now available for use in deep cover underground commercial and municipal storm water management systems. The StormTech DC-780 is designed in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications for live and dead loads. It also meets the design requirements of ASTM F 2787 and the product requirements of ASTM F 2418. ADS completed its acquisition of StormTech LLC in March 2010. As with other StormTech chambers, the DC-780 is made using an injection molding process to ensure uniform wall thickness throughout the chamber. Similar to the company's SC-740 chamber, the DC-780 with more than 46 cu ft of bare chamber storage capacity can be used in systems requiring up to 12 feet of cover."The new DC-780 chamber meets the most stringent industry performance standards for superior structural integrity while providing designers with a cost-effective method to save valuable land and protect water resources," stated Ron Vitarelli, Vice President of Storm and Sanitary Sewer Market Development for ADS. "There is also a lot of versatility in using the chamber. The shape and size of a StormTech chamber permits it to fit nearly any configuration regardless of available space, be efficiently delivered to the job site, and easily installed with a minimal crew. It is ideal for virtually any commercial, residential, agricultural or highway drainage system especially one that is under a parking lot or road." write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
