PROJECT DESCRIPTION:California Filtration Specialists utilized the flexibility of the R-Tank Modules and FocalPoint High Performance Modular Biofiltration System (HPMBS) to redesign the biofiltration system at Discount Tire. The engineer, who was unfamiliar with both products, designed a system that did not connect the R- Tanks to the FocalPoint System. In addition, during installation of the R-Tank an unknown water line was discovered going through the middle of the Tank. Our simple solution was to split the R-Tank around the waterline conflict. Only with CFS's modular solutions can problems like this be corrected quickly and inexpensively.
With these systems in place, this property retains all stormwater on site and eliminated the need for a storm drain system. After a rain event fills the R- Tank, stormwater can flow into the drainage system, infiltrate into the ground, or be reused. The system is an alternative to stormwater basins and a more efficient, space saving alternative to other underground systems for detention, infiltration, and recycling stormwater.
