StormShaper - Control the Perfect Storm
One of the most challenging aspects of any site development design is the control of post-development stormwater flows. The Lane StormShaper is designed to release stormwater from a system at an optimal rate (the rate allowed by local regulations), including multiple storm requirements. The ideal outlet hydrograph will often be a series of jumps in the outlet rate, with each jump corresponding to the transition between one design storm and the next. This means that, as opposed to conventional systems, the storm water will be released at a higher rate early in the storm event.
The StormShaper system will allow the designer to ‘shape’ the actual outlet hydrograph to conform to the ideal outlet strategy. The result is that the detention system can be reduced in size by an average of 30 to 40 percent when compared to conventional outlet designs.
