Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of non-potable water — Boxes used for retention, detention, storage and transportation systems — Specifications for storm water boxes made of PE, PP and PVC-U
The boxes are intended for buried underground use, e.g. in landscape, pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas.
In the case of retention and detention systems, the main purpose of the boxes is to retain water, for later infiltration in the ground or for later use in non-potable applications (irrigation, cleaning, sanitary facilities, etc.) or to retain water during a storm, transferring it in a controlled way to the public storm water network.
Applications include commercial, residential, agricultural and highway drainage, including installation under parking lots and roadways.
Product performance is determined by a combination of material specification, product design and manufacturing process.
A box can either be factory-assembled or site-assembled from different components.
The boxes are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer has provided a clearly documented method specifying how the components are assembled to create a complete retention, detention, storage and transportation system. The boxes are installed as one or more horizontal layers on a firm foundation and embedded with fill around and above the complete system.
NOTE Non-load bearing component(s) can be manufactured by various methods (e.g. extrusion, injection moulding, rotational moulding, compression moulded, thermoforming and low-pressure injection moulding) and are not within the scope of this document.
