A stormwater detention and treatment option was needed for a busy low-lying student rental in Christchurch.
For existing older & low-lying infrastructure, Christchurch City Council required all site runoff to be treated and detained on-site, with controlled discharge into the council network without causing site flooding.
The challenge fell to the team at Davis Ogilvie Ltd., and after some site calculations, the Hynds UpFlo® filter and EcoBloc® retention tank units were found to be a perfect fit. Hynds also offers speed and on-time delivery, with full technical support for all their products
Site stormwater runoff pre-treatment can be easily managed with the UpFlo filter, and flows are then allowed to discharge into the EcoBloc detention tank.
With the limited site space, the most suitable area of land for the detention tank location was under the main driveway access. Due to the high-vehicle loading capabilities of the EcoBloc®, it was the ideal detention tank for this site.
One of the big advantages with using the Hynds EcoBlocs is the speed and ease of installation. As the EcoBlocs were being installed under the main access point, the site needed to be closed off for a very minimal time.
While on site, Jacob from Davis Ogilvie was impressed with the ease and speed of the installation of the tank as it was mostly completed in a day. The project manager, Tim Hoban, was relieved to see the UpFlo filter and 100 metre-cube EcoBloc detention tank installed, with access to the full site restored in just over 36 hours.
