How it works

Infiltration
Runoff is conveyed into the Stormcell Infiltration System from either above or below the media through the perforated distribution pipes. Flows in excess of the infiltration capacity are stored within the Stormcell blocks offering a large exfiltration surface area.

Storage
Stormwater is conveyed through the distribution pipes underneath the Stormcell Storage System. The distribution pipes carry sediment directly through the system, protecting the storage media from siltation.

A flow control device such as the Reg-U-Flo® Vortex Valve limits flow and causes the water elevations to rise during large storm events. The rising water passes through the perforated distribution pipes up through the crushed stone bedding into the Stormcell blocks. Air from within the media is displaced through the permeable geotextile into the crushed stone layer and venting pipes.
