ChamberMaxx®

Superior subsurface infiltration system

 

ChamberMaxx ChamberMaxx is the latest in corrugated, open-bottom arch systems designed to economically collect, detain, retain and infiltrate stormwater runoff. The belowgrade system maximizes available land for development, and can support traffic loading for installation under parking lots and roadways. The chambers are injection molded using structurally efficient and corrosive resistant polypropylene resin.


The system is most effective on sites where the depth from finished grade to storm sewer outlet is less than 54-inches (1.37-meters). With 49 ft3 (1.39 m3) of available storage per chamber, ChamberMaxx is the most cost efficient of its kind. Innovative subcorrugations provide greater strength and the chambers utilize a resin efficient design. A short height profile optimizes stormwater storage on shallow sites. Lightweight chambers allow for placement without the use of heavy equipment.


Install a CONTECH pre-treatment water quality unit, upstream of the ChamberMaxx system for the highest level of performance at the lowest cost. This combined water quality and quantity system reduces maintenance costs by capturing the pollutants in one confined location, and extends the performance life of the overall system by reducing occlusion of the void space within the surrounding stone. CONTECH also offers the optional ChamberMaxx Containment Row.

Here's why ChamberMaxx provides a superior infiltration solution:
  • Low profile shape (30” rise)
    • Economical for shallow applications
    • Material price: $3 to $5 / cf of storage
  • Multiple options for pretreatment
    • Lowest installed cost for performance level achieved
    • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Open-bottom configuration
    • Meets low impact development (LID) goals of reduced site runoff
    • LEED credits possible
  • 49 ft3 of storage per chamber
    • 6% more storage volume than similar products, so smaller footprint and fewer chambers
  • Locally available direct from CONTECH
    • Short lead time with local installation support
  • Manufactured per ASTM F 2418-05
    • Quality product
    • Pre-approved alternate to leading competitive products
  • Innovative sub-corrugations with lower weight / ft3 of storage
    • Less polypropylene plastic required to manufacture resulting a more economical product
  • Lightweight
    • Installed by hand without need for heavy equipment

ChamberMaxx for Infiltration

ChamberMaxx for Subsurface InfiltrationChamberMaxx, an open-bottom plastic arch system, is designed to economically collect, detain, retain and infiltrate stormwater runoff. The system effectively achieves reduced discharge objectives, including Low Impact Development (LID).

Subsurface Infiltration for LID Designs

Subsurface Infiltration Perforated MCPChamberMaxx plastic arch system effectively recharges groundwater which can achieve reduced discharge objectives. CONTECH also offers several other systems, including CMP that can be easily perforated to allow for infiltration.The DryWell StormFilter provides infiltration and treatment in one structure.  The manhole design can be installed throughout your site to provide decentralized, microscale stormwater management controls. 

 

SS Credit 5.1 – Site Development, Protect or Restore Habitat, 1 Point

Intent – Conserve existing natural areas and restore damaged areas to provide habitat and promote biodiversity.

Potential contribution: Stormwater Detention and Infiltration Systems
  • Store, recharge and infiltrate stormwater belowgrade
  • Provide additional opportunity for green space

SS Credit 6.1 – Stormwater Quantity Control, 1 Point

Intent – Limit disruption of natural hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, reducing or eliminating pollution from stormwater runoff and eliminating contaminants.

Potential contribution: CONTECH Infiltration Systems
  • Keep water on the site
  • Recharge groundwater

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
