Why Detention?

Underground stormwater detention systems are a structural Best Management Practice (BMP) used to control the flow of stormwater. Detention systems work as an integral part of the storm sewer system to provide a temporary storage area for excess stormwater. Runoff is stored and discharged over time whenever runoff inflow exceeds the allowable discharge rate. The systems are typically installed beneath parking lots, streets and parks to maximize property usage and lower development costs.

Underground Detention Systems:

  • Custom designed to meet local detention requirements.
  • Maximize property usage.
  • Lower development costs.
  • Provide a safe, nuisance-free environment.
  • Offer easy access for inspection and maintenance.
