Weir systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a modular weir may be used to isolate suspended solids from a flow of water in a stormwater management crate array. The modular weir may include a plurality of weirs configured to isolate the flow of water from the stormwater management crate, a plurality of column grooves along the one or more weirs configured to extend around a plurality of columns in the stormwater management crate, an inlet located at a first end of the plurality of weirs configured to receive the flow of water within the stormwater management crate, and a cap located at a second end of the plurality of weirs configured to contain the flow of water within the modular weir.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for isolating flow in a stormwater management crate array

A leaching chamber for implementation in a leaching field is provided. The leaching chamber may include a first end with a first end flange and a second end with a second end flange. The first end flange may be configured to overlap and rotatably connect with a complementary end flange of a second leaching chamber such that the leaching chamber is configured to rotate with respect to the second leaching chamber and to be disposed at a selected angular orientation relative to the second leaching chamber. A first locking feature on the first end flange may be configured to engage with a locking feature on the complementary end flange to lock the leaching chamber in the selected angular orientation relative to the second leaching chamber.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff are provided. Disclosed embodiments may include a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate including a first plurality of side panel attachments. Embodiments may include a plurality of support columns between the top plate and the bottom plate. Furthermore, disclosed embodiments may also include one or more arched side panels. Stormwater management crates may be arranged into an array and include side panels of variable heights. The array of stormwater management crates may be further wrapped in sediment impervious material and serve to restrict stormwater flow as part of a stormwater management system.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatus for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management crate for managing stormwater runoff may be provided. The stormwater management crate may include a top plate having a first plurality of support column attachments and one or more support column assemblies located below the top plate; the one or more support column assemblies being affixed to the top plate at the support column attachments. The stormwater management crate may further include a bottom plate having a second plurality of support column attachments located below the support column assemblies. Stormwater management crates may be arranged into an array and include side panels of variable heights. The array of stormwater management crates may be further wrapped in sediment impervious material and serve to restrict stormwater flow as part of a stormwater management system.

Panel with column bearing components

A module that is useful for receiving stormwater when buried in permeable media comprises a base from which a plurality of columns extends upwardly, to support two or more different-elevation horizontal plates. Each plate has a plurality of holes, through each of which a column extends. The plates are secured to the columns at their respective elevations by self-acting engaging means comprising a latch, e.g. a peg extending radially from the column, and a mating receiver, e.g., an elastically deflectable plate having a hole that receives the peg. The angular orientation around the column of the self-acting engaging means varies with the plate elevation, so that for example, the first plate is only engageable at the first elevation and the second plate is only engageable at the second elevation. A module is assembled by lifting or lowering each plate along the column lengths until the plate becomes automatically engaged at the particular plate's predetermined elevation.

A plastic leaching chamber is provided and includes a chamber substrate constructed from a PET material and having opposing side base flanges which lie in a horizontal plane and extend lengthwise along the chamber substrate. The chamber substrate includes opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from each of the opposing side base flanges to a top of the chamber substrate and includes a lengthwise center plane which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The opposing sidewalls define a plurality of leaching openings having at least one tab slot opening located proximate thereto, and a plurality of louver articles constructed from at least one of a PE and a PP material. Each of the louver articles include a tab which is configured to engage a tab slot opening to securely associate the plurality of louver articles with the chamber substrate to cover the at least one leach opening.

Arched panel

A rectanguloid shape six-walled thermoplastic box for receiving and dispersing stormwater, when part of an array of like boxes that is buried in media, has interior bracing in the form of an irregular polyhedron structure comprised of up to six hollow pyramids. The truncated apexes of the pyramids meet near the center of the box. The base of each hollow pyramid is contact with, attached to, or integral with a wall at the location of an opening within which is a grate. A box may be injection molded as a single piece molding with living hinges. Alternatively, the pyramidal polyhedron structure may be formed as a separate element and placed within the walls of a box.
