ABSTRACT: The choice of materials directly affects the performance, longevity, and costs of stormwater detention systems. A thorough understanding of available materials options empowers civil engineers to design stormwater detention systems that are efficient, cost-effective, and easy to maintain. In this presentation, Contech engineers will give engineers the information they need to evaluate and select the best detention material for use on various sites. Learn how engineers solved stormwater storage challenges on four unique projects, four material options for underground storage and when to use each one, and how to reduce long-term maintenance costs by design with maintenance in mind
