A disclosed corrugated end cap includes a corrugated frame having one or more corrugations defined by one or more sets of alternating peaks and valleys. The end cap also includes one or more ribs disposed in one or more of the valleys and one or more valley reinforcements disposed in the valleys and running over a top surface of the corrugated frame. For example, the one or more ribs may be configured to increase a resistance of the frame to bending. Additionally or alternatively, the top surface, a front surface, and a rear of the corrugated frame surround a recess configured to receive latch ridges from a stormwater chamber.

End caps for stormwater chambers and methods of making same

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a flared end ramp for managing flow of material into a stormwater chamber may be provided. The flared end ramp may include an inlet end configured for connection with a pipe, a side wall of the flared end ramp having a rounded profile at the inlet end; an outlet end configured for placement within the stormwater chamber; and an inclined surface extending between the inlet end and the outlet end of the flared end ramp and configured to deliver material from the pipe into the stormwater chamber. The outlet end of the flared end ramp may have a larger width than the inlet end of the flared end ramp such that the inclined surface is angled laterally outward from the inlet end toward the outlet end.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for maintenance of stormwater management systems

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management system may include a stormwater chamber configured for placement underground; a flared end ramp at the inlet of the stormwater chamber that is configured to receive runoff containing sediment and to distribute the sediment across a width of the stormwater chamber; and a filtration fabric situated beneath the stormwater chamber, the filtration fabric being configured to capture sediment from the runoff in the stormwater chamber while the runoff flows out of the stormwater chamber.

This disclosure relates generally to stormwater management and, more particularly, to a stormwater chamber with a continuous curvature. The stormwater chamber may comprise a chamber body with a chamber wall, an apex, a base, and a first and second opening. The chamber wall may include a continuous curvature from the apex of the chamber body to the first and second openings and a continuous curvature from the apex of the chamber body to the base.
