Within the swales are a series of forebays that pond stormwater behind earthen berms, at the bottoms of which are 10” pipes that allow low flows through and extend time of concentration for larger...
WHY THESE PRODUCTS?
Construction EcoServices is constantly looking for solutions that help reduce environmentally harmful nutrients from getting into the nation’s waterways. Nitrogen, phosphorus, TSS and fecal coliform are common nutrients that can be filtered using stormwater system solutions and technology. Many of those solutions utilize engineered soils and media like the ones below.
Our Filtration Media & Media-Based Solutions
Bold & Gold
Enhance Nutrient Reduction in BMPs
Enhance Nutrient Reduction in BMPs
Bold & Gold® Filtration Media is a biosorption activated media (BAM) patented at The University of Central Florida’s Stormwater Management Academy. The media is composed of natural and recycled products. Bold & Gold® Filtration Media is added to stormwater best management practices (BMPs) to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, total suspended solids (TSS), and pathogens in runoff. Bold & Gold® Filtration Media is used to meet stringent Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) requirements. Bold & Gold® Filtration Media can be used in any nutrient reduction modeling software to demonstrate nutrient removal efficiencies. In Florida, BMPTRAINS is available and recognized by the water management districts and Department of Environmental Protection for nutrient reduction credits.

SUMMIT HPUF
Featured Solution Powered by Bold & Gold
Next Generation Nutrient Management for Florida
The Summit High Performance Upflow Filter System (Summit HPUF) powered by Bold & Gold ECT3 media is a high-performance filtration system designed to remove Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP).
Applications
- Wetpond Polishing Filter: The most common application of the Summit HPUF in Florida is for polishing whereby it can reduce the size of the wetpond and increase overall treatment effectiveness to achieve nutrient removal goals.
- Ultra-Urban Developments: Integrates with Detention, Permeable Pavements, Biofiltration, Bioswales and many other systems.
- Non-Infiltrating Areas: When on-site soils are not suitable for infiltration, look to the Summit HPUF to solve the problem.
BMP TRAINS 2020 Model
Fully integrated into the model with pre-defined drop-down menus of Bold & Gold media.
