Hydro StormScape

Reduce runoff through infiltration while capturing and retaining sediment, heavy metals, nutrients, oils and floatables. This versatile Low Impact Development BMP is green infrastructure and so much more.

Hydro StormScape™ green infrastrucutre filter allows you to filter and infiltrate stormwater combining pollutant removal and runoff reduction into one bio filter. An open base allows trees, shrubs and hedges to live longer and thrive more quickly since their root ball will never be limited to the confines of a concrete box.

Hydro StormScape™ can also be used with a variety of street furniture such as bike racks, benches, message boards, flag poles and more.

Operation & Maintenance Technical Abstract

Applications:

Stormwater treatment

Flow control and flood protection

Industrial water treatment

Overview

Hydro StormScape™ is a sophisticated departure from other “tree-in-a-box” bio filters because it’s not in a box. An open base is not only better for vegetation, it also allows you to keep more runoff on site while using less building material so it’s lightweight and easy to install.

Targeted Pollutants:

Fine and coarse particles / total suspended solids (TSS)
Floatable trash and debris
Liquid- and sediment-bound oils and hydrocarbons
Particulate and dissolved metals
Nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous)

Applications:

Reliably treats surface water runoff from impermeable surfaces including highways, parking lots, industrial areas and urban developments.
As part of green infrastructure, LID or LEED systems
Curb inlets, parking lots or parking medians
Urban areas where site space is limited
Industrial stormwater pollution control

Designed for

Metals

Nutrients

Oils & hydrocarbons

Trash & floatables

Very fine particles

Benefits

An open base won’t restrict root growth so vegetation thrives quicker and lives longer
Works with a variety of trees, shrubs and hedges or with street furniture e.g. bike racks, message boards, benches etc.
Modular design allows you to treat a range of drainage areas
Runoff is kept on site which reduces quantity of stormwater that is discharged
Lightweight components can ship flat and be installed with only landscape equipment - no crane needed. First tree box filter with lightweight, modular components. (Patent pending - # 15/379223)
Optional internal bypass for conveyance of high flows

How it works

1. As water flows into the storm drain, it will quickly come in contact with the flow spreading baffle wall.

2. Water will then be forced left, right and all the way around the outer pretreatment chamber (see Fig.1). This process causes the flow to slow, preventing media from being blasted into piles and avoiding an uneven treatment area.

3. Trash and coarse debris are captured and stored in the outer chamber while remaining flow enters through the baffle wall.

4. Eventually the flow seeps through the baffle wall into the interior treatment chamber. From here, finer particles and pollutants will be trapped on the top layer (3 inches or so) of engineered filter media. 5. Sediment and particulate pollutants are removed as the stormwater makes it way through the engineered filter media while dissolved pollutants will be absorbed through the root system.
