Subsurface Infiltration

The second option in an LID design is typically Subsurface Infiltration. For dense developments or sites with lower infiltration rates, aboveground practices may not be an economical solution. Consider belowground practices such as vaults, chambers, and pipes with open bottoms or perforations. Belowground practices provide a significant volume and infiltration footprint without using land that could otherwise be developed or preserved.

CONTECH Solutions for Subsurface Infiltration

Many urban developments have limited space for bioretention facilities, even when soils have high infiltration rates. For sites with limited area at the surface, and for sites with less than ideal soils, subsurface infiltration is the best option.  By utilizing sub-surface infiltration, space is preserved for development and runoff is reduced or eliminated, and groundwater recharge can occur. Best practice designs for subsurface infiltration include pretreatment to reduce cost and frequency of maintenance while ensuring and increasing the infiltration life of the facility.
