Stormwater Module Tank Kuala Lumpur

Stormwater Module Tank

Stormwater Module Tank System is an underground seepage storage tank for stormwater control and management systems and is therefore also known in the market as a modular rainwater storage system, an underground storage tank system and an underground sewage system. It is efficient, cost effective and ecologically sustainable. The main function of the modular water tank is to allow natural water penetration at the site and prevent water loss. This underground tank system is best suited for flat ground areas for rainwater harvesting and stormwater management.

Stormwater Module Tank System has unique advantages such as: high compressive strength allows for use in areas with high traffic; Interlock systems maximize stability and installation; lower cost compared to concrete and metal storage systems; Storage and transportation costs are low; and all volume requirements can be met. In addition, the underground tank system has advantages in panel assembly and unit installation, without the risk of surface water storage, and has obtained LEED SS, WE and MR points and BCA Green Mark points. In general, modular rainwater storage systems are very efficient and versatile in terms of water storage.

Advantages:

High compressive strength allows use under trafficable areas
Interlocks vertically and horizontally for maximum stability
Less costly than concrete and metal storage systems
Low storage and transportation cost
Caters for all volume requirements
Easy assembly of panels and insallation of units
No surface water storage hazards
Contributes to achieving LEED SS, WE and MR credits and BCA Green Mark points

FIVE REASONS TO USE A STORMWATER MODULE TANK OVER AN ARCH PRODUCT

Overall Footprint :

The arched structure requires a much larger footprint than the box system, while the box system is related to the amount of excavation and backfill material that the contractor must handle and place. On average, the modular system can reduce the amount of stone backfill by 40-60%. This can save a lot of money depending on the region. For example, most installations require thousands of tons of stone, typically between $40 and $50 per ton.
The box structure can also be flexibly designed to meet specific site requirements and layouts. The module can be easily designed around existing structures and offers multiple heights within tight constraints to change storage capacity and stackable to reduce installation space.

Capacity :

Since the box-shaped structures have a higher void space than the arched structures, they are less dependent on the stone backfill. Therefore, a box system with a smaller height can achieve the same capacity as a deeper arch. This means that the depth of the excavation can be reduced, the rock that needs to be removed can be reduced, and the box-shaped unit can be placed above the water table.

Buoyancy :

Depending on the depth of the dive, all underground storage systems are prone to buoyancy problems. However, since the arch itself is not constrained, the arched system is more likely to cause a risk of capacity loss or damage due to buoyancy. This means that the lining and stone screed bed will rise into the gap and reduce the amount of storage when surrounded by groundwater.

Ease of Installation :

Although box structures require a certain degree of on-site assembly, they can be moved and placed by one person. In fact, the StormTank module can be assembled in less than two minutes and is easy to place and connect. Arched products, on the other hand, typically require multiple people to move and place the product, technically doubling the time to install a unit, and even higher the size requires a third person. In addition, since each arch system consists of multiple product lines, the system requires a manifold and the box structure is not required.

Strength :

This is often misunderstood, and the differences between manufacturers and product types can be significant. If we take the StormTank module as an example, it can be designed and tested to support the load above it better than most arch products. However, the only correct way to determine the strength comparison is to use a tool such as a strain gauge and displacement gauge for a full installation test. (Do not be confused by steel press tests that do not collect meaningful data or drive uncalibrated trucks on the system!)
