How did PowerBlock serve the function of a detention pond, drainage inlet and a water quality unit on this project?
...The engineers were able to take advantage of using Harris County’s Low Impact Development (LID) regulations by increasing the time of concentration of storm water on this site.
...The LID solution nearly eliminated the need for a detention pond altogether and in the process gained three additional lots, or 15% more homes.
...The civil engineers were tasked with managing and treating 1,000 cubic feet of stormwater runoff within a 1,200 square foot area, most of which is a parking surface.
...Working with Construction EcoServices, the engineers at EHRA, Inc. rescued this project using Low Impact Development (LID).
...Located outside of the City of Houston in Fort Bend County, the single-family residential project known as Camellia is a great example of how Stormwater Multifunctional Design can benefit the community,...
