Low profile chamber provides reduced footprint with maximized storage
volume for storm water management systems with shallow cover
HILLIARD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (ADS) (NYSE:WMS) today announced that it
has added a low-profile, high strength chamber to its StormTech product
line. The StormTech SC-160LP Chamber is 12-inches tall with an installed
volume of 15 cubic feet of water for underground infiltration and
detention systems. The new unit requires 14 inches of total cover to
carry AASHTO HS-20 live loads, which reduces site development costs in
shallow applications by minimizing the amount of needed fill and
maximizing open infiltrative areas.

"Most chambers typically call for around 18 to 24 inches of cover to
meet AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design standards for earth and
HS-20 live loads," stated Bob Klein, Executive Vice President of Sales
for ADS. "But because of the patented truncated ellipse arch,
sub-corrugation design and the materials used, our new chamber can be
used in both traffic and non-traffic projects where cover is limited."
ADS developed the new StormTech chamber in response to the industry need
for a chamber that can be used in applications where high water tables
are present or to avoid adding excessive fill to sites.
The SC-160LP adds to the StormTech family of chambers which now offer
minimum installed storage capacities ranging from 15 to 179 cubic feet.
The newest addition measures 85 inches long x 25 inches wide x 12 inches
tall. The SC-160LP chambers require no separation between chamber rows
making it easier for the contractor to install and also minimizing the
aggregate required. The SC-160LP chamber can be installed using an
injection molded 8-inch end cap or using a solid end cap. Both options
provide for less costly smaller diameter pipe connections.
StormTech chambers are designed in accordance with AASHTO and ASTM
design standards, qualifying them for use in commercial and municipal
projects. The chambers are designed per industry standards to provide a
75 year service life.
