Rainwater Harvesting
Ecoclean Ausdrain
Enviromodule
EcoClean Ausdrain recognizes water is one of our most precious natural resources, an asset to be conserved and re-used wherever possible.
Our water resources are limited and at present the world’s consumption of this resources far exceeds its natural replenishment. Too much of our stormwater is wasted, escaping via stormwater channels out to sea.
Systems for stormwater infiltration, rainwater harvesting and bio-remediation contribute towards better management of this precious resource.
Ecoclean Ausdrain products have been designed and developed to fit with the principles and best management practices for Water Sensitive Urban Design. Conservative and re-use of stormwater is making an important contribution to the challenges facing mankind over the coming decades.
Ecoclean Technology Sdn Bhd has made a commitment towards improving the methods of stormwater conservation to assist in creating a more sustainable future for us all.
Important Design
Information
EcoClean Ausdrain EnviroModules must be installed with the 450mm side as the height to ensure maximum strength.
Standard duty modules are suitable for landscaped areas only. Extra duty modules are required for trafficable areas such as driveways and car parks and where greater depth of cover is needed. A suitable pavement designed by a certified engineer is required over the surface of the tank.
Compressive strength tests were conducted by a certified testing authority and represent the maximum strength in a controlled environment that replicates the case when soil is uniformly distributed under a short term static load.
Safety factors should be employed to the compressive strength results. This is to allow for actual site conditions, possible variations in recycled material and any potential creep factors.
Onsite Detention Tanks
Ausdrain EnviroModule™2 Detention Tanks can be easily installed on any project, saving valuable time, labour and money. Compared to a concrete tank, there are no footings/slabs, blockwork or reinforcement required.
Each tank is sealed with a strong and durable waterproof liner. Ausdrain EnviroModule™’s create the required void storage allowing stormwater to be temporarily stored inside the tank before discharging to a designated outlet.
EnviroModule™’s are available in standard duty, suitable for installation under landscaped areas, or extra duty, for trafficable situations such as carparks or driveways.
The modular nature of the tank allows greater scope for design flexibility and tank sizing.
Stormwater is pre-filtered via an EnviroSump or GPT. This provides valuable at source water quality benefits and reduces the need for long-term tank maintenance. The water then enters a pre-cast pit that is fitted with an orifice plate to reduce the rate of discharge from the tank to the designated stormwater outlet.
Ausdrain’s EnviroModule™2 Onsite Detention Tanks are available from small tanks for residential projects, to large detention systems for commercial applications. Council approval should always be sought prior to installation.
Applications of EnviroModule™2 Onsite Detention Tanks:
Residential projects, sub-divisions, roads & carparks, schools & colleges, industrial parks, council projects, commercial projects.
