This document is the Aquabox Design Manual. The system, hydraulic/structural design, installation, inspection, maintenance, transport and logistics explained.

Heavy rainfalls combined with the expansion of urban impervious surfaces are showing the need for efficient and sustainable stormwater management solutions. The Aquabox storage system offers several solutions, suitable for varying stormwater management requirements using both detention and retention techniques. Stormwater detention with a controlled release to the watershed and/or receiving waters helps to mitigate the potential negative impacts by helping to reduce flooding and degraded water quality during heavy rainfall events. In short, the Aquabox system offers a wide range of solutions capable to addressing the specific needs of a development project.

Aquabox is a modular system with a truncated pyramid structure made of recycled polypropylene with glass additive. It is designed to create an underground storage system for stormwater management. Aquabox is used for the control of rainwater and to reduce possible flooding created by the increase of urban areas. It creates infiltration, detention or harvesting, which enhances water by reusing it.

Module dimensions with table, figures and photographs provided. Accessory list includes sidewall grid, top cap, singe/double joints, Aquabox cube, sidewall grid cube and D4 cap.

Hydraulic design is explained in general, required volume, modeling the module, module section and Aquabox Isolator Row.

Structural loads, system installation, inspection, maintenance, transport, logistics are fully explained with dimension tables, photographs and figures.
