Applications

Built for Every Stormwater Challenge

Storm Cross handles retention, detention, and infiltration in a single modular system — engineered for the site conditions civil engineers actually face.

Three Functions. One System.

Most stormwater projects require a combination of volume control, peak flow attenuation, and groundwater recharge. Storm Cross is the only precast concrete system designed to perform all three functions independently or simultaneously, reducing site footprint and construction cost.

Storm Cross Retention application

Up to 100% volume retention

with sealed base configuration

Volume Control

Long-Term Stormwater Retention

Retention systems hold stormwater indefinitely, allowing controlled release or reuse. Storm Cross retention configurations maintain a permanent pool, making them ideal for water quality treatment, irrigation reuse, and sites with strict volume-reduction requirements.

  • Municipal water quality compliance
  • Irrigation reuse and harvesting
  • Low-impact development (LID) credits
  • Sites with zero-discharge requirements
Storm Cross Detention application

HS-25 load rated

for traffic and parking areas

Peak Flow Attenuation

Controlled Stormwater Detention

Detention systems capture peak runoff and release it at a controlled rate, protecting downstream infrastructure from flooding. Storm Cross detention configurations are sized to meet pre-development release rates and integrate with standard outlet control structures.

  • Peak flow attenuation to pre-development rates
  • Downstream flood protection
  • Parking lot and commercial site compliance
  • Subdivision and residential development
Storm Cross Infiltration application

Open-base design

for direct soil infiltration

Groundwater Recharge

Subsurface Stormwater Infiltration

Infiltration systems return stormwater to the groundwater table, reducing runoff volume and supporting aquifer recharge. Storm Cross infiltration configurations use open-bottom modules placed on engineered stone beds, suitable for sites with adequate soil permeability.

  • Groundwater recharge and aquifer replenishment
  • Runoff volume reduction credits
  • Green infrastructure and LEED compliance
  • Sites with high soil infiltration rates

Choosing the Right Configuration

Storm Cross modules are configured at the design stage to match site hydrology. A single project may combine retention and infiltration zones, or use detention as the primary control with infiltration overflow.
