Smart CSO/SSO Storage Solutions: Top Questions from Recent Webinar
 
  Smart CSO/SSO Storage Solutions: Top Questions from Recent Webinar
     
 

The audience engagement at our recent Contech webinar titled “Smart CSO/SSO Storage Solutions: Designing Resilient Systems for Today’s Infrastructure” was fantastic, proving that as municipalities deal with increased contaminated runoff, stricter regulations, and aging infrastructure, the hunt for reliable wastewater storage is heating up. Our presentation included several key design considerations for Contech’s DuroMaxx® SRPE tanks, which lead to various insightful questions. Many of the questions reflected similar themes, so I thought it might be beneficial to share a few – and the answers behind them to help designers better understand how the DuroMaxx® SRPE technology performs.

Stormwater Detention Systems: The Ins & Outs of Inlets & Outlets
 
  Stormwater Detention Systems: The Ins & Outs of Inlets & Outlets
     
 

Underground detention systems are often evaluated by storage volume, depth, and footprint, but the real performance impact starts and ends at the inlets and outlets. These connection points control how water enters the system, how energy is managed, and how reliably the system releases flow at the intended rate. In this post, we’ll break down the most common design questions engineers ask about inlets and outlets, so your system performs predictably, stays maintainable, and meets hydraulic goals.

A detention system can meet the required storage and still underperform if the inlet or outlet becomes a bottleneck. Many design issues show up when the inlet is too restrictive, causing backups upstream.
