  • After The VersiTank® installed below the higher level, collects the heavy rainwater and canalizes it onto the lower level where there is another VersiTank® installation below the filtering layer of gravel. In this way, the stormwater run-off is drastically reduced and the rain is finely absorbed by the soil.

Specifications

To create an on-site non-structural stormwater detention tank system to slow down runoff, improve stormwater quality, reduce time and cost impact.

Solution

More than 7,000 units of Elmich’s VersiTank®  enveloped with geotextile were installed underneath a series of rain gardens to prevent solid particles from penetrating and clogging the stormwater filtration and management system. The filtered stormwater is temporarily stored in the approximately 980 m3 tanks to reduce flooding from the peak runoff flow during heavy rain occurrences before being discharged into the Geylang River.
