Stormwater Detention Overcomes Time Constraints and Limited Space

By selecting StormCapture®, a Texas car dealership not only achieved essential stormwater detention but was also able to expand its available parking capacity.

 

The Challenge

Toyota’s new car dealership in Lewisville, Texas, presented both exciting opportunities and unique challenges.

Working with the specifying engineer, the Oldcastle stormwater team quickly realized that this site posed constraints regarding the amount of space available, and the clock was ticking to find a solution with delivery timing at the forefront.

The site constraints and the urgency of delivery timing added an extra layer of complexity to the installation, shipping, and delivery of the units.

However, the team adopted a collaborative approach and used these challenges to prompt the adoption of creative solutions.

 

The Solution

Oldcastle recommended a StormCapture® underground stormwater detention system to provide high-volume storage and infiltration.

The modular precast system not only met project requirements, but in providing a solution to deliver some 75,000 cu ft of detention capacity it also enabled the dealership to expand the size of its parking lot.

The decision to incorporate StormCapture into the design was driven by its quality and reliability, and its ability to meet the dealership’s requirements while also delivering the unexpected additional benefit of greater parking capacity.

StormCapture’s precast modular design meant that the installation process was straightforward and efficient. The installation process took 45 days, and was completed with one crane, accommodating both limited space and tight project timelines.

 

Benefits

INCREASED DETENTION CAPACITY

StormCapture facilitated the addition of detention capacity without compromising the size of the parking lot, optimizing the use of available space.

ON-TIME DELIVERY

Despite the challenges in logistics, the project maintained an average of 10 trucks per day, ensuring timely delivery that adhered to the contractor’s timeline.

PRECAST CONCRETE DETENTION SYSTEM

Comprising some 86 4½ ft StormCapture modules with 50 link slabs and 50 grade slabs, StormCapture’s modular precast concrete design showcased its suitability for the project and contributed to its success.
